I was recently reading an article about how to save money these days when shopping. Of course they went over the usual things like clipping coupons but there was a spin that reminded me of when I was out shopping recently.
Most people working in retail are not getting rich of working there and really could care less at what price you are getting the item for. Really. I was hooked on framing some autographed pictures awhile back and went to the same store that had a sale on frames pretty much everytime I was there. The one time I was there they didn't.
So I asked when the next sale was coming up. The clerk told me next week and that I could hold onto my receipt and bring it in for the difference next week. Which I did and saved about $20.
It never hurts to ask when you are in a store if there are any upcoming sales coming up and if so will they honour the price if you buy it today. Why pay full price when you don't have to. Especially these days, it seems there is a sale or deal of the day on almost everyday. It doesn't matter if you are making a large or small purchase, savings are savings. So ask next time before you buy.
