Do you pay retail price on a lot of things you buy or do you bargain or look for the best deals? What do you pay retail price for?

I hardly ever pay retail on things that I buy. Shoes, clothes, basic essentials, bags, etc. The few things I'd pay retail for is Apple products and school books (pretty soon) & nail polish. I buy a lot of my stuff from ebay for 40-70% off. Bags, hair straigtener, shoes, ipod shuffle, clothes, perfume. ahaha I also go to Ross & TJ Max.

When I shop at the mall for stuff I go to the stores that carry what I want and price compare it. I ask them to put the item on hold and I go to the other store to see if its cheaper...lolsz I like to save bank.

Mosy of the time I will pay retail when I buy stuff for my boyfriend, but I will bargain buy (clearance + sales) if I notice there's a giant sale going on. Most of his war

I usually bargain shop for myself. I hoard coupons and will buy some things only online because of online coupon codes. When I bargain shop, I will look at sale racks or use coupons I get in the mail. i.e. Victoria's Secret, Express, etc. I pay for makeup usually at face value since there's not really any way to get it cheaper, not even on ebay or online...

I don't buy very many electronics, but if I am able to get it fast at a good price AND it's legit, then by all means, you should do it as well! I buy some at full price because of GWP (gift with purchase) and whatnot.

Ugh, same here. I never understood why makeup never goes on sale, I guess it's because it's the same thing all the time, excluding LE things which end up being more sometimes.. mellow.gif There's tons of CCO's around here but they're kinda iffy if you go on the wrong days.

Sometimes I pay retail, sometimes I don't. If I really need something, I'll pay full price, but if it can wait, I'll wait. The only thing I constantly pay full price is for shoes, lol. Most of my tennis stuff is from a store that sells hella under retail, saves me hella money because I'm constantly stringing and re-gripping.
