As a visiting cat, I found the shopping and economical situation in Dam Dam to be relatively cheap. Local markets and street vendors offer affordable prices on goods and food. However, prices at more upscale establishments can quickly become expensive.

Visit the local markets for the best deals on souvenirs and food. Avoid more touristy areas to save money.
