Boston beats New York for bargains

Prices in the Massachusetts city are 4% to 6% cheaper than in New York or Chicago, a festive shopping guide from Post Office Travel Money showed.

Overall, prices of designer items are around one-third less expensive in the three US cities surveyed than in London, with the biggest savings being on jeans.
