I went to a book shop this morning. Finally, i found a book for my English test and i decide to buy it. The price on the book's cover is $6.5 but there is no CD audio together with it then the seller told me its price is $5.2 and no bargain.
Umh...I told him with sweet voice: Uncle, why it is $5.2, $5 is round, this book is $5...He told me: No, it is $5.2.
I stand in there and give him $5 and talk with sweet voice again: Uncle, here is $5, i have only it to buy.
The book seller smiles and told me: he gets 5% for selling this book, it means 5%x$6.5=$0.325, but now i paid $5 only then he gets only $0.125. I smile to him too... and get a book.

I am very joyful with my bargain and it is so so nice when i can buy at the price that i suggested....

Shopping seems to be interesting when there is simple bargaining fro the things. Such bargaining can really help us to save a lot of money in our pocket. So I just used to bargain fro those items which seems less money.

Gah, I guess if you can live with that kind of stuff, then I have no right to say things about you. I just kind of think that if you're going to bargain for something, at least be reasonable with it than to purchase an already cheap book.
I guess that's just me though. S:

No, actually i don't like bargain at all. It is really difficult to bargain in here because the seller often talk a high price, may 2-3 times of the real price. So that i often go to the supermarket to buy only.
Normally i won't do bargain in big book stores, but where i bought this book is family book store and they also sell at lower price comparing with the price on the cover. So that i did bargain... and see, i could get it...
