So my wife used to get sucked into those shopping parties at work or from friends of hers that were organizing them. She would come into work and there would be a little bag on her desk full of goodies and a nice little bill sitting beside it. Or should be bring home a bag of perfume or clothing orders and a receipt. And it was never one, the same person had perfurme parties, candle parties, food parties, sweets parties… You name it.

I started looking at the prices she was paying and asked her why should pay double the cost for items that she could get elsewhere. She was paying a premiums for candles when you can buy candles at another store or online for half the price. You can find nice candles or even Votive candle holders over the internet at a fraction of the price.

I am here to tell you that it is okay to say no. Why give your money to a co-worker or friend that is not saving you any money? It must be a good profit. We haven't bought anything from one person in three years and she phones our house once a month looking for an order. Keep your money and save a little by shopping for a better price.
