Shopping Tip From A Reader….
Here’s a tip from a friend of mine who has many talents, including being a world class shopper.
I just went to Macy’s and there was a 1/2 price deal on two calaphalon
saute pans aka skillets. I had a coupon that allowed $15 off of a
$50 purchase, of course the pans were 49.99. I asked the clerk, and she charged me $50 so I
could save $15. You can always ask…..
The other day I got 40% off with a coupon at Hobby Lobby rather
than the marked 30% off advertized price because I asked.
So I guess the point of this tip is to ask. If you arrive a day after, or a day before, the big sale, go ahead and ask. A lot of times you will find the clerk has some discretion in setting prices, or she can get permission from a manager or owner who does have that discretion. This may not work everywhere, but you might be surprised where it will work.
By the way, my friend asked for a shout out to a Texas Artist website: RosanneFriedman.com
