'The Creed of the Sovereign Buyer'
By Ghislaine Saint-Pierre Lanctot

1. I never set foot in big outlets, shopping centres or chain stores.

2. I shop at the small local independent merchants.

3. I buy local products and services.

4. I buy directly from individuals or from manufacturers. I eat in small restaurants or pay for my meals in people's houses.

5. I ask for the price of an item only after I have chosen it. Depending on the answer, I decide whether or not I want to pay that amount. I do not haggle.

6. I pay a fair price.

7. I pay in Game units or cash with no invoices or sale slips.
