| NY trip 'could cut Xmas spending'
A shopping trip to the Big Apple could cut Christmas spending by hundreds of pounds, figures have shown. The weak dollar means a selection of 19 popular consumer goods are around 30% cheaper on average than in London, according to price comparison website PriceRunner.co.uk. An iPod Classic was nearly £32 cheaper in New York at an average price of £127.09. Shoppers could pay nearly £107 less for a Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS camera which is priced at an average £146.30 in the Big Apple. The Transformers Optimus Prime voice changer helmet is £14.20 cheaper in New York than the £29.83 average price in London. Other big savings on electrical goods include a DVD player - the LG BH100 - priced at an average £459.11 in New York compared with £916.65 in London.
