I found that I now can sell the product to my clients better than before! In fact, I used my new found skills yesterday afternoon on a client. She was ecstatic that I saved her $300! It paid for her grats and insurance.

gâteries/petits plaisirs
Il me semble que c'est "grats" comme "gratifications" : des petits plaisirs ou des petits cadeaux qu'elle a/s'est offert sans raison particulière, en somme, des gâteries (au prix où sont les assurances!):
