Great article! I just came home from vacuum shopping and ended up not buying anything because I was so frazzled by the sales guy… so this was super timely!

I think it is just such a mis-conception that someone asking for a discount is inevitably trying to take advantage. It has given the whole “negotiating” process a bad feel. When I use coupons at Wal mart they act like I am such an inconvenience and taking advantage because I have 5 of the same one… well I bought 5 papers to get those… is THAT a problem?

I can truly see both side of this as a recently reformed couponer and as a business owner also.

Thank for the great convo on this!!

I knew that my modeling of this art had paid off when my 11 year old found a game that he had wanted at Walmart. It was the last one, and on his own he said, ” I think I am going to go find the manager, I sould think he would take off something for this damaged package. ”
Oh yes, did a frugal mom’s heart good.
