Check Out Outlets

Although I fell in love with the red couch at my local Crate and Barrel store, I ventured to a C&B outlet further away to see if they have better deals. They did have some great ones, but I decided to stick with the red sofa. The store samples that don't get sold are sent to the outlets and you can sometimes get a bigger discount. Be sure not to wait it out too long if you love an item, because chances are someone else loves it too.

Whoops, part of my comment accidentally got edited out! It meant to say "Haggling can be great," at the beginning.

Thank you so much for this line: "Haggling is an art, so do it with some grace..." Haggling can be, but trying to haggle with a cashier at your local department store or being rude about it will just make things frustrating. The last thing you want to do is come off rude or make the associates not look forward to having you in their store again. Ask what the associate can do for you and if it's not what you want, ASK politely (don't demand) if you can see their manager and thank the associate for their time. Having been the associate, I can say that nothing will burn somebody out faster than being made to feel like they're the bad guy because large price deductions are out of their control.
