Shoppers Take Haggling To New Heights - Washington Post:
"The price tag on the smooth pair of Cole Haan loafers at Macy's said $148.
I considered that a fair opening bid.
Standing across from the salesman and the cash register, I said, 'Can you knock off 25 percent?'"
As I said in this Wednesday's post Save Money - Just By Asking -
"I love these types of articles."
For the last few decades with everyone thinking they were rich beyond belief, bartering and haggling fell out of the national vocabulary of Americans. Haggling was synonymous with being cheap, or worse poor. The recent economic down-turn, however, has unleashed the inner haggler in people like me, and made it a great time for you to start if you'd been resistant to becoming a haggler or thought it awkward or socially unacceptable. This Washington Post article highlights the shift in American spending.
So just to remind you, Never Pay Retail!
