We all want to save money when we go shopping, and one way to do it is by haggling.
It's not for everybody though, but if you want to give it a shot, Alan Akina shows us how to do it.
Good morning, gang. Last week I talked about the benefits of haggling, and for today's financial fitness report, I want to give you the top 5 how-tos of haggling. Tip number 1, know your stuff. You don't want to look like a fool when haggling, so I suggest that you research the products you want online, in stores, and find the specials or promotions. Remember, knowledge is Number 2, know your final price that you're willing to pay before you step into the store. 3, use this question to get the haggling started: What's your best price? A follow-up question you could use is, How much if I pay with cash? Number 4, be prepared to walk away from a deal if it doesn't fit within your anticipated budget. And number 5, be kind and polite. Try to make a personal connection with the salesperson to increase your chances. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. I'm Alan Akina, see you on Wednesday.
Thank you, Alan. Cash always talks, right?
