You may be surprised how useful it can be to haggle for just about anything, from rent to furniture. In fact, we challenged you to do it, but if you need help, this graphic and video can help you get started.


From some tips you’ve heard before, like asking Live Chat agents on shopping web sites if they have coupon codes for free shipping or a few bucks off (and being okay if they don’t!) to putting items in your cart and leaving them for a while to see if the retailer actually reaches out with a discount (this has happened to me, it works!), there are even passive ways to get a better price without having to really go back and forth with someone the way you might think haggling works.

If you do feel more aggressive, reaching out to companies on social media for coupon codes is one way to get your toes into haggling, as is asking retailers to price match products instead of just give you a discount. The graphic is full of other methods too, so hit play on the video above, or scroll down to read more.
