Which everyday items are more expensive to purchase in the UK than the US (cosmetics, OTC meds, clothes)?

Question

I'm moving to the UK in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering which everyday items I should buy here in the US before I get there. I've heard OTC meds (tylenol, advil, etc.) are cheaper here, for instance. Anything else?

Answer 1

Basically everything bulk up on make-up and clothes as if a maybelline lipgloss is $5 over there it is about £10 here

Answer 2

Every single thing here is double the amount it is in the US but our double amount wages make up for this but if your coming here on a holiday wow your going to see how worthless the dollar is here.

The only comparison I know is that in the US the average galon or gas is $4 here its $10.

Basically everything here will be expensive to you but its normal to us I know because all my friends who have gone on holiday with the money they have saved ere said everything in the US was half price.

Answer 3

Pretty much everything will be cheaper in the US - stock up!
