Are you a safe shopper?
Author : teriann‘Desperate times call for desperate measures’. Now, I don’t know who coined that phrase but it has certainly proved true in these harsh economic times.
So now when you shop, it’s not only about hunting for a bargain but guarding your pocket.
Often pickpockets watch your movements carefully long before they make their move. So what can you do to protect yourself?
Well I have a few suggestions.
Shop early and avoid overcrowded stores.
Stay alert. Don’t let your desire for a sale distract you from being aware of your handbag and purchases.
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Invest in a debit card for large purchases that can be cancelled if stolen.
Never let your purchases out of your sight even for a short time.
These are just a few suggestions. What else can you suggest to keep safe while shopping?
