Day 490 and bargain shopping

Last night's FPU class was on bargain shopping. I really want to be one of those people that can negotiate for everything, but I'm not. We did okay on the car shopping on Saturday for Serenity, but I think if Tom or I either one were better at it, we could have done better.

What kinds of good bargains do you find? how do you find them? Do you negotiate? One of my bargains that came to mind was a:

KitchenAid stand mixer: Several years ago, I wanted one and a new one was almost $300. I found one at an online auction site, brand new in the box, for a little over $100. The seller had got it as a wedding gift and never used it!

I'm interested in hearing how other people find bargains!

I am terrible at it, but as you know Danny can wheel and deal like crazy. Mandy seems to have got a lot of that from her dad, because she does wonderful on line shopping for bargains!

Well, you have no idea how badly I wished we had Danny with us on Saturday. LOL.
