I had never travelled in Jordan, so I wouldn't know if things are cheaper or more expensive than in United States of America.
I do know that I do not want to live in Jordan because women are treated as property. In addition, women have to cover themselves up.
In United States of America, I can own as many properties I want, stocks, or any businesses. I sell stuff to men and women. Most importantly I can go to either male or female doctors. My professors are males. I can make-out with any guy I want. The best part of all, I do not have to marry any of those guys.

Jordan is cheap, cheap, cheap - especially compared to America. Be prepared to bargain though - it's expected that you will and nothing has price tags. When someone gives you the price, come back with at least half and somewhere in between you will agree on the cost. This is law in the souks (markets) and is prevalent everywhere- even for things like bottled water. When bargaining for things like taxis, or cars, etc.. make sure you agree on a price before you take off.
There are tons of things to buy - textiles, jewelry, metal work, pottery, woodwork, perfumes, incense - the list goes on and on and on and on. You won't have any problems in the shopping department - only in trying to figure out how to get it all home.
Oh, but be wary of the DVD's that are sold everywhere for pennies - they are all pirated, which is fine, but most of them are terrible quality if they work at all, and I don't believe that the type of DVD is compatible in the players that you have in the US.
Have a great trip!!

You can find all prices in Jordan, it depends where are you shopping from, just like any other country, brand names are expensive, but not too expensive , other things are reasonable,
But I think you have more choices in America, there are only a couple of big malls in Amman, they have almost everything.
And just to comment about the earlier post, Women do not have to cover up at all in Jordan, I'm Jordanian and I never cover, we wear whatever we like, and we also have our business and we go to male doctors. Jordan is a free country and women are respected there, and you can see for yourself when you visit our capital Amman.
You are welcome anytime, hope you enjoy your stay.

I lived in Jordan for long time.
In Jordan you will get really high prices and low prices. and it all depend what are you looking for and where.
If you go to the High West of Amman, you will find big malls with lots of stores of brand names.
Lots of Americans that I met in Jordan will love to go down town where they can visit Souvenir Shops in Al Saha Al Hashamyah.
Prices there are vary, Bargain the salesman in these shops!!!
Keep those address dear for your visit:
for reasonable prices visit this areas:
- Jabal Al Hussein.
- Jabal Amman
- Suwaifiyah.
Wish you a good trip to Jordan. Am sure you gana love it. Its a great country.
