When we have to wait several hours at the airport to go on vacation or to come back, many of us wander around the duty free. This allows you to pass the time and, perhaps, to make good deals. But be careful, it depends on what you buy… Explanations.
Everyone knows airport duty free. We like to stroll there before getting on the plane, in the hope of finding good deals. Indeed, as these shops are located within the confines of an airport, which is an international zone, they are not subject to government taxes. Result: VAT does not apply and there are therefore less expensive items.
In reality, that would not really be the case. Yes, all the products would not ultimately be cheaper, and it would even sometimes be the opposite… To save money by shopping at the airport, it would therefore be necessary to avoid a certain category of articles.
Here’s what you should never buy in duty free shops
It was the Liligo.com site that conducted this study, relayed by Cosmopolitan, to see if the items sold in airport duty free stores were really cheaper. It turns out that the products that you absolutely must avoid buying there are… confectionery. These would actually be much more expensive than in the supermarket. If you want snacks on the plane, plan ahead.
Other items are also more expensive when purchased at the airport. These are electronic devices and their accessories, such as chargers or cables. Finally, this is also the case for small memories. If you forgot your phone charger, wait until you get to your destination to buy one instead. And if you want to bring back a souvenir, think regarding it before you get to the airport.
