Tips for a good buy! When purchasing goods from vendors make sure your energy is in store for a long session of bargaining. Always ask price of items around the item you’re interested in and pretend it is expensive for your budget, so when you arrive at the one of your choice the rate quoted is lower than otherwise stated. Remember, haggling is almost obligatory.
