Shop like a Pro
with these
Tips
You’d think our residents would have
forgotten how to spot and snare a great
deal now that they’re more limited in their
movement.
But a new volunteer shopping project
has been giving them good practice such
that they probably make better shoppers
than those of us schooled in the online art of
buying.
Goin-a-Shoppin lets volunteers plan their
preferred themes, obtain the items to sell
(anything from dim sum to axe oil and fashion
magazines) and print the paper currency
used to ‘buy’ the items.
Since the project kicked off in July 2017,
we’ve been observing our residents to glean
these 5 tips that’ll make you look more pro
than amateur shopper.
