I have always been intimidated by negotiating-(I’m the one on the beach in Mexico paying $50 for a puka shell necklace) Only recently have I finally been asking for discounts because I find it more widely accepted in these economic times.

I think a lot of people are just intimidated by negotiating. A friend of mine negotiated a hospital bill down by offering to pay less in cash and the hospital took it. I would never have thought to negotiate like that with a hospital.

I learned long ago from a nurse who ran her physician-husband’s office that, if you don’t have medical insurance or a procedure is not covered, many doctors are willing to offer a 10-15% discount if you pay cash.

Getting a discount makes buying so much more fun. This won’t work for all, but being 65+, I never hesitate to ask, “Do you offer a senior discount?,” or, if I’m with my Marine, “Do you offer a Veteran’s discount?” 90% of the time, the answer is, yes! And sometimes, if it’s a food concessionnaire, free!
