PART 3

SHOPPING:

In the markets everything is negotiable!                                                                                                  Bring small bills (1s and 5s) for the markets and vendors. Have a price in mind and stick to it!! You need to be willing to walk away. They will come after you. If not, you will see the same items at the next market.                                                                                                                                      “Elephant” pants in any pattern go for $5. As do embroidered baseball caps. You can find shot glasses and lapel pins for as little as $2. Quilted pillow covers (17”x17”) will go for $10. Bracelets and necklaces will be as low as $2. Tote bags are $1. Large cosmetic bags $4.

My favorite sales pitch was “I don’t know what you need but I have it”
