When shopping in Honduras there are a few things to remember.
1. Prices are negotiable. Nothing is set in stone. When you’re looking to buy something that is sold by multiple vendors, consider the quality and price. Some vendors offer the same items but in varying qualities. Think about the products like you do food. Good food tastes better but is sometimes more expensive. Quality ingredients cost more, but last longer. If you’re buying something that you want to pass down to your children make sure you’re buying something that is made out of quality products.
2. The “Leaving” method. Often when walking out the door you’ll be stopped with one final offer. You say, “I can only afford $200.” They reply with, “$300 is the best we can do.” You thank them for their time and begin to walk out. They will either let you walk or make one final attempt to sell you the product. Be prepared to walk, otherwise you’re paying the original $300 price.
Tambi shopping in Honduras.
Whenever I go shopping in Honduras I take my friend Tambi Renee. Tambi loves shopping as much as I do and she is quite the haggler. It is more fun to shop with a friend and having a friend keeps you safe. Tambi and I care about different types of things. I go for the food, fun and trinkets, Tambi likes to buy things for her house and as gifts. With these two different types of shopping mentalities, we let each other shop however we want. I don’t rush her and she doesn’t rush me. If we don’t get to everything we want to see, there is always tomorrow!
Have fun shopping in Honduras!
If you are brave enough to go shopping in a third world nation then Honduras might be good for you. Just plan for the worse and hope for the best. Do not leave the tourist areas as the areas outside these areas can be dangerous. If you can travel and shop with others it will help keep you safe as there is safety in numbers. Luke Weil is a Honduras fan that doesn’t have a problem shopping anywhere.
