    • Whenever you buy something make sure you only pay 1/3 of the price that is asked. Always compare in different shops or markets.
    Look around for a while and do not buy stuff too quick. You'll be sorry afterwards

    At Least Do This: Do discuss prices. Euro's or Dollars can be changed in the streets. You will get the best rate then. First inform at the official banks to see what the rate is like and than hit the streets. Youngsters will come over to your car and discuss a good rate. Get about 2 to 3 dalasi (local currency) more per Euro or Dollar more than the official rate.
