Haggling on NPR

Remember my post a few weeks back on haggling how tos? Well, that was in preparation for an interviw with NPR reporter Yuki Noguchi. She spent the day with me while I went shopping for new appliances, mentioned in my “10 Grand in my Hand” post. You can read and listen to the finished story on haggling on the NPR site here. Also, here’s an accompanying piece on haggling with a link right back here to Suddenly Frugal!

    Listened to it this morning on the way to work and it made me realize that maybe it is something I try. I also am timid in haggling but this made me think that if I don’t ask, the answer is automatically “NO”.

    It was a great piece and also good luck on appliance shopping……

    Thanks for your comment. That quote about the answer automatically being “no” if you don’t ask first was pretty powerful, wasn’t it? FYI, you can read more about that $700 stainless steel fridge here: http://suddenlyfrugal.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/10-grand-in-my-hand/
