I want to thank Joshua Rodriguez at CNA Finance for giving me the opportunity to guest post on his site. Please head over to CNA Finance and read How Haggling Saved Me $1,200.
Here’s an excerpt of the post.
Some people don’t like haggling or negotiating because they don’t want to come off as rude or disrespectful, but that’s because they haven’t mastered the art of haggling. Okay, haggling might not be an art, but there is a right way to haggle and a wrong way to haggle.
Before we get into the right way to haggle and why you should always do it, let me first tell you a little bit about myself.
I come from the Dominican Republic and like in any third world country, haggling is the norm. Granted, there are places where you just don’t haggle – restaurants and supermarkets – but everything else is up for negotiation.

I love haggling! I got $100 knocked off my rent that way! 🙂

I had no idea you can negotiate rent – I was always afraid of being turned down from an apartment I wanted if I tried. I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask next time!
