1. Never trust salesmen.
2. Never spend on something by impulse. Think and then Buy. When in doubt think some more.
3. Always but something from a authorized seller. "It's cheaper here than in the store" line is a bunch of crap.
4. If there is a time limit on the offer and it translates to"Buy Now! or regret", you better walk away.
5. Buying from recommendation is encouraged. Use the internet.
6. Constantly have a mental check on where your phone, keys and wallet are.
7. Never try to answer the phone when actively playing a sport. Tennis for example.
In nutshell, stop being a gullible piece of meat. This month has been bad. Sigh...
