Just think of the exotic stories you can tell about each item.  Tangible memories.

 @51fb1883 @48471ca1 True. It didn’t help that we had to conduct business in French as the man in the main shop didn’t speak English. I don’t remember much French from schooldays. Luckily I did remember, “No, that’s too expensive” 😹

Good for you!  From the movies I've seen I think you're supposed to shake your head and walk away and hope the shopkeeper calls you back with a counter offer. 😂
