Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Shopping monies.
  • Quarters.
  1. Step 1

    Ride the bus/train to Downtown, it's the most cheapest and convenient way.

  2. Step 2

    If driving, park at a corner lot and be the first car 'in'.

  3. Step 3

    Parking at a cash box? Have plenty of quarters on hand and carefully read the days and times on each sign before leaving the car.

  4. Step 4

    Have a spending amount. Unbelievable deals and/or bargains make it easy to hand away 'hard earned' monies.

  5. Step 5

    Bring cash in small bills; keep similar bills together and separately.

  6. Step 6

    Time can either fly-by or stand- still, have an arrival and/or departure time.

  7. Step 7

    Map out a specific shopping district(s) and/or block(s) that you want to cover.

  8. Step 8

    Most stores in 'The Alley' do not have dressing rooms and may not offer exchanges and/or refunds.

  9. Step 9

    Compare quality and price before buying.

  10. Step 10

    Always ask for a lower price and/or a package deal before making a purchase.

  11. Step 11

    Be prepared to leave packages at the counter and/or discard food/beverages before entering a store.
