Why is the prices in this country before taxes? Makes no sense.

In San Francisco until friday and then leaving to Hawaii until the 8th of jan!

Doing shopping is confusing at times when ure comparing prices vs Sweden.


At least the American clothing brands is cheaper, but hardware isnt safe to buy in case it breaks

Not just states, but even counties within states.

It's very annoying! America does everything backwards and it's so damn annoying.
