“Good Morning America” did a great piece this morning on how to ask for a discount at major retailers. Tory Johnson went to Macy’s, JCPenny’s and even Home Depot and got anywhere from 10 – 30% off her purchases — just by asking for a discount. To be fair, she had to often ask for a manager. She also had to be pretty persistent, but she didn’t get in anyone’s face or seem unruly in order to get the savings.
It’s worth a watch. As we all try to save money, it’s tips like these that can make the difference the next time we are shopping.
