Did you know you could ask for a discount to save money? This tip comes from Saving Toward A Better Life…
Sometimes saving money is as simple as asking! Once I was having my oil changed on a Monday evening. The place I was having it done at has Ladies Day on Tuesdays and ladies get $5 off their oil change. While normally, I would try to go on Ladies Day, I was waiting on a prescription to be filled at the pharmacy down the street and needed to kill some time. The manager came to my car and said, “Tuesday is Ladies’ Day and we give all the ladies that come in a rose. Here you can have one.” And he handed me a rose. I said, “Thanks and since I got the rose, can I get the discount too?” And you know what he said? He said yes! So, see, sometimes, it’s as simple as asking!
I’ve also asked DirecTV to match a competing companies price. While they didn’t match it completely, the did give me a discount, saving me about $60 over the course of a year.
Sometimes all you have to do is ask!

Yes. My mom and I took my daughter to the zoo a couple months back and my mom was buying my little girl a stuffed animal. She asked if they had a senior citizen discount which they didn’t but the young man working there said “I’m going to give you the nice lady discount. ” Which while o my 10% was something and then gave her a free tote bag too.
