Aruba as a shopping paradise?

I spent 3 hours today shopping in Aruba main streets... Based on our "collected intelligence", Aruba and Curacao are more expensive than St Thomas, St Maarten or even San Juan, Puerto Rico.

My wife compared the pricing of some merchanise in the Tommy Hilfinger and some of the stuff was 4 times more expensive when compared to the factory outlet in Dallas, Texas.

The Aruba center is made for tourists, so the feel you get is to spend money on stuff which is ok as the whole islands lives on tourism nowadays.
