Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Discounts & Save Money by Paula Bendfeldt-Diaz

If you want to save money, oftentimes you just need to ask! Here's how: 1) If you're paying cash for an item, ask for a discount! Cash saves merchants credit card processing fees. 2) If you like a product, service or location and can’t find a coupon, try sending them an email and ask where you can locate one for them. Many times, you will receive a coupon in the mail, or perhaps a free item or ticket just for sending an email letting them know you like their product/service. 3) Make it a habit to always look for coupons - in print and online - and ask favorite vendors how to save with them!
