Ask and Ye Shall Recieve
This is so true! No only in prayer but in everyday things!
People don't ask if they can get a better deal.
If it's at a yard sale, ask if they will take less. The only time I don't is if something is very cheap to begin with.
Today we got a wheelbarrow for $18 instead of $20 at a yard sale. It was almost brand new. That paid for the planter they have that was $3 but came down to $2.
At yard sales the best time to ask is on Sat. afternoon. People want to just get rid of it so they will usually come way down.
Also, ask if you buy one thing if they will throw the other in for free. If you are going to buy 3 or 4 shirts as if they will throw in the pants for free.
At Walmart yeasterday their plants were looking pretty bad. They needed water but would come out of it. I needed one more 6 pack for my window box above my kitchen sink. They took 1/2 off because I asked if they would come down. I saved .75. Not much but that would pay for 2 candy bars!
The point is, ask. Get over your fear and just do it. Most of the time you won't ever see these people again anyway. So what if they say no.

My husband is so good at this that it is almost embarrasing for me sometimes, but I am still glad he does it because he does save A LOT of money. I do ask for a better price sometime, but not nearly like he does. One day I will be fearless like him.
