Shopping in a foreign currency can seem like an elementary school math test at times…..and pulling out a calculator in a posh store can make you feel like the school dork.
To solve these dilemmas, I found the answer at Staples in the form of a mini calculator key chain. I attached the calculator to the zipper of my daypack and was able to discretely convert prices into my home currency whenever necessary.
These keychains are usually available in a bucket at the checkout counters of Staples, but just in case I have included a link to an amazon store that has a similar product….
