“1. Always remember and claim that Divine Abundance is your only reality and that Divine Abundance will richly manifest itself for you in the perfect purchase at the perfect price if it is for your highest good.”
“2. Always ask, ‘Is this the best you can do?’ It’s a friendly way of bargaining and you never know.”
“3. Always know what you’re going to do with the item when you get it home. …Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s your bargain,”
“4. Always set yourself a fixed limit of what you’re going to spend for guilt-free shopping. …Always bring cash it helps control your spending.”
“It’s not about cost or provenance. You make a connection with something. You want to give it a home and a new life.”
