I shop alone very often in Bali and enjoy being able to browse and purchase things on my own time.
It helps to have a rough idea of what things are worth if you plan on making purchases from market stalls, or go to some fixed price places.
I always carry a 'bum bag' they are very handy as it's strapped around your waiste. I change $100.00. at a time and place this in a seperate zipper of my 'bum bag' and keep the other money in a seperate compartment. I always carry a back-pack and put things in it as I go.
Catching taxi's by yourself is no problem at all either, (just get the blue taxi as they have a metre and you don't have to worry about negotiating fares).
Enjoy and shop till you drop!
