Have you bargained or haggled on anything in particular in an attempt to get the cost down?


Perhaps on an interest rate, cell phone plan or a damaged product in a store?


DH went to Lowe's and found a switch plate that he wanted for our bathroom.

I haven't since I'm horrible at haggling (hence the reason I don't like buying cars at all!!!!).

I am horrible at haggling, but every now and then I give it a shot.

I haggle or bargain on a regular basis, I tend to ask for floor models, when buying clothing I check everything very carefully because I have received 10-15% off if there is a split seam or even marks from makeup and deodorant. In the grocery store if something is close to or on the the sell by date I will ask for a discount.

Asking for a floor model is a great tip!
