How to Shop at Sam Moon Store

There are Rules and Procedures for how to shop at Sam Moon. For a sample of what you can expect to find in the store, check out their website at http://www.sammoon.com/web3/

I can't tell you how often I have shared my shopping system with people, taken them into the store and watched them go absolutely bananas over the inventory. They spend an absurd amount of money. Months later, they will sheepishly tell me that they should have listened to me. And, of course, the way this system was developed is that I did it the other way first. As my old Daddy used to say, hard heads require hard lessons.

Rule Number One. If there is no place to park, don't go in. It is best to go by Sam Moon's during the week rather than on the weekend.

Rule Number Two. Only take the money you plan to leave there. $20 to $30 is a good number. Spend much more than that and you will be sorry.

Rule Number Three. Don't worry about trying to match something to an outfit. Just look for good design. Good design is timeless. Good design will never go out of style. And, good design from Sam Moon's stops traffic. Trust me on this one.

Procedure for Shopping. Again, just humor me and do it my way. You have your money, so lets go.....

Decide how much time you are going to invest in looking.
Get a basket.
If it catches your eye at all, put it in the basket. You aren't making a purchase decision at this point, you aren't trying to decide if it matches your new suit. Your only decision is "do I like it?" and/or "is it good design".
At the end of your allotted time, tump out the basket contents on a counter. Pick out the best pieces you can get with the money you decided to spend.
Hand the rejects to the cashier (I know it is rude, but you will never be able to put them back).
Pay for your purchases
Go home.
