Do what I do and tell them you never carry any money with you at work. For me
that's true. Where I work if a co-worker is selling something from a catalog
they usually just leave the catalog on a desk and let everyone decide for
themselves if they want to purchase anything. If a co-worker actually tries to
get me to buy something I tell them that since I don't bring in things to sell
at work I expect others to extend the same courtesy to me. You just have to
learn to say no.
