Deal or no deal?

One of my best girlfriends love priceline. She comes and visit me about once a year and she would always check priceline to book her hotels, car rentals, and sometimes even her flights! Priceline gives you the best and lowest price, BUT what sets them apart is that you can make bids and name your own price for even cheaper. And what Asian doesn't love to bargain?? I personally enjoy bargaining for my purchases. I learned the art of bargaining from my Asian mother (of course) and have practiced it quiet a bit on my frequent travels to Asia. I've experienced calculators being thrown at me, store owners yelling and kicking me out of their stores, and all sort of things for being a crazy bargainer. But at the end of the day, when you get the price you want for the item you want...pure happiness.

If you are a true bargainer and like to name your own price for the items you purchase, you would totally dig this: Gap, the clothing store, is now allowing their customers to make deals with them! I played around with it the other day and almost secured a $5 for a $30 scarf deal!! Unfortunately I didn't like it that much (yes, even for $5) to accept this deal. I mean, why spend money, even if it is cheap, on something you don't really like? I like bargains and deals and all but I don't like to waste money. So, play around with it! Start low and work your way up. Gap will ask you if you can bid higher but if you don't think it's worth that much, then of course don't make the deal. There are only 15 items being dealed at a time so be sure to check often. Who knows one of the items might be something you really like!! Have fun!!
