What can I say when a sales clerk says, "May I help you?" Some books says that you can say, "I'm just looking." Isn't it rude? Doesn't it sound strange when I have somethig I want to buy in my hand?

The usual response is, "I'm just browsing thanks."

In the case you've mentioned here, you could say, "No thanks -- I'm all set."

If you already have something in your hand like a dress for example, you can say, "I 'd like to buy this dress thanks", and hand it to the sales clerk. If you are thinking of buying something extra, you can say: " I'll have this dress and I 'm just having a look at some other clothes now".

Thank you very much! I've never heard of some expressions you told me!
