1. Bargain Smartly
Always negotiate but be polite. Vendors expect bargaining, so start lower than your target price.
If a seller won’t lower the price, try bundling multiple items for a discount.
Yes! Negotiation is key when street shopping, but keeping it friendly and respectful makes a big difference. Here are a few more bargaining tips to help you get the best deals
- If a vendor quotes $20, start at $10–$12 and work your way up.
- Avoid extremely low offers that may offend the seller.
- Smile and use a lighthearted approach—vendors are more likely to offer a discount if they like you.
- Instead of asking, “Can you lower the price?”, try “What’s your best price?”
- If the price seems too high, politely thank the seller and start walking away. Many vendors will call you back with a better offer!
- If you’re eyeing multiple items, ask for a bulk discount: “If I take two, what’s the best price?”
Vendors are more likely to agree to a discount if you can pay immediately with small bills.
