Answer 2

Some ports are better for some things and not others.  In St. Thomas, the best deals are on expensive watches (Rolex, Tag Heuer) etc. stop by Little Switzerland in St. Thomas and you can save thousands and even better at St. Martin.

St.Thomas used to be a free port, but it isn't anymore. You will pay a little duty on things there. However, it is still the best place to buy expensive liquor and wines. They have good

prices on digital cameras and jewelry.

The Bahamas doesn't really offer a lot of special things at reduced prices. You might find some clothes there and some linens and things but the prices there are not so hot. Crafts are the only thing they have that's good and its over priced.

In old San Juan, look around for the factory outlets for name brand American clothiers. You can get Arrow shirts, London Fog, Hathaway, etc all at very low prices. A lot of what the have is simply discontinue items. They do have some "2nds" but they let you know they are. There are Good Shoes too and ties and underwear.  The stores are in the Old part of Old San Juan. worth the walk.
