Any of you go into stores/shops etc and haggle with the staff on price or for freebies?
Was in GO and bought a tent and managed to get carpet,print and canopy with a bit gentle tongue work.
All in all saved me 120 quid.

I got £6.25 knocked off a wheel hub for my trailer yesterday, The guy ordered 2 for me when I had only asked for one, when he told me the price he quoted £40 for the hub plus £12.50 to get it delivered in, I argued that this was £12.50 delivery for 2 and as I only ordered 1 then my bill was £46.25. I won as well.

My OH often does (I leave it to him - he's so good at it!) - especially bulk purchases. Some retailers won't budge an inch though... Oh, yes - there is always the sob story - margins are so tight, the recession, etc, etc.

When we lived in Italy, the asking price was known as the "the American price" for only they would pay it.
We went to buy a fridge and after a bit of judicious haggling came out with the fridge, a gas stove, steam iron and ironing board; all for 15% below the original asking price for the fridge alone.
On returning to the UK tried it in a shop here and was shown the door!
