Watch: Bag a bargain this summer with Alice Beer’s expert duty-free shopping advice

There is no denying we love a good deal, whether it’s discount codes, vouchers, sales or just being able to get something cheaper somewhere else. In fact, 58% of us consider ourselves to be a ‘savvy shopper’ and 37% know someone who is a ‘serial bargain hunter’. One place that has always been known to have lower prices is the duty-free section in airports, on planes and ferries. The top duty-free purchases, according to research by Stena Line, are fragrances (47%), alcohol (44%), beauty products (23%), confectionary (16%), jewellery (15%), tech products (13%) accessories like sunglasses (12%) and kid’s toys (7%). Brits enjoy a duty-free price tag so much that 45% go to the extent of waiting until they travel to buy a specific product in duty-free, with a further 19% admitting they consider doing this.
