There’s been an interesting thread running over on Money Saving Expert about haggling in high street stores. Although we might think that most stores would not budge oin their prices, the experiences of some of the money savers on Martin Lewis’ message boards suggest that’s not always the case.
The list apparently includes such names as Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, Boots, MFI, B&Q, Harrods, Waterstones, Specsavers, Dixons, John Lewis and TK Maxx. It just goes to show that you’ll never know if you can get a discounted price unless you have the bottle to ask!
Sean at Money Swindon posted some tips on how to haggle recently (more tips here), which includes my favourite: “don’t be afraid to walk away. If they want the sale they’ll negotaite”.
