I’d like to share some general “rules of thumb” when you go bargain shopping in foreign countries.

A big part of looking for deals, and getting them, is knowing where to shop and also HOW to shop.

A big part of looking for deals, and getting them, is knowing where to shop and also HOW to shop.

Ask the locals where they go

These markets are generally set up outdoors with stall after stall of random commodities.

Be nonchalant

Don’t act too interested. If shop owners know you really like something, they’ll be less willing to negotiate down on price.

A good place to start is at half of what they ask, and don’t be afraid of offending them. Think of how offended you are that they are overcharging you!

Know where to start your haggling

Bundle items for a better deal

Many shop owners will be more willing to bargain if you tell them you’re buying more than one item.

Just give the amount of money you’re willing to pay

Just give the amount of money you’re willing to pay

So what I have done is just take out the exact change for the price I wanted to pay for the item and handed it to them and said, “ok, done”. And it worked!

Walk away

Half the time, when you start to leave, they’ll call you back. Keep walking and wait for them to drop the price.
