10 Valuable Bargaining Tips
by Wanda on July 13, 2016
Sometimes a price is set and there’s really nothing you can do about it- if you want the item you have to shell out what the seller is asking. Other times there’s some wiggle room, and that is where the art of bargaining comes in. Successful bargaining requires a little bit of skill, but it’s worth it because: 1) you pay less in the end, and 2) scoring a bargain feels really great! Anyone can learn to be a good bargainer (is that a word?) and here are some bargaining tips to get you going.
- Do your research. Know what things are worth, and decide how much they’re worth to you.
- Be friendly. The expression “You catch more bees with honey” applies to bargaining. Being demanding and aggressive will turn the seller off. Be polite and friendly and you’ll get much better results.
- Don’t be too enthusiastic. Play it cool- don’t let the seller know how badly you want the item.
- Be willing to walk away. The seller might accept what you offer rather than lose a sale.
- Know the right time. The best times for bargaining are at the beginning or end of the day, the end of the month, and at the end of a season.
- Work with cash. In some situations that’s all a vendor accepts. And always ask for a discount for cash- this means a better price for you, and savings on credit card fees for the vendor.
- Know how to start negotiations. Open with an offer that’s 25% less than the asking price.
- Ask for a manager. Make sure you’re talking to the person who can authorize a deal.
- Look for small defects you can live with. Then bargain down from the asking price.
- Ask for a deal if you buy more. Sellers might give a discount for a bigger sale.
Remember that there’s no shame in bargaining- in some cases it’s even expected! And like with most things, the more you do it, the better you’ll get, so have confidence and get that price down! There’s nothing like a great deal!

12 Genius Uses For Zip Top Bags
by Wanda on July 6, 2016
I use zip top bags all the time. They’re great for packing snacks on the go and I like to use them for packing away leftovers and storing cookies in the freezer. I love that there is such a variety of sizes, so I always have what I need. There are so many brilliant ways to use them, beyond packing kids’ snacks! Here are a dozen unexpected, but fabulous ways to use zip top bags:
- Tablet or phone protector. I love this one! Slip your phone or tablet into the appropriate sized zip top bag and seal. Now it’s safe to while working in the kitchen or sitting at the pool or beach.
- Organizing. Use them to organize everything, from art supplies, to cords, to puzzle pieces.
- Kids’ change of clothes. Pack up a change of clothes to send to school or keep in a diaper bag and it’s safe from spills.
- Kneading dough. Put ingredients in the bag and your hands won’t get sticky.
- Pipe icing. Fill the bag and cut a hole in the corner to squeeze out the icing. When you’re done, there’s nothing to wash- just throw it away!
- Ice pack. Freeze a wet sponge or a bunch of ice cubes in a zip top bag and you’ll always have an ice pack handy.
- Marinate meat. I do this all the time and I love it because there’s no clean up and fewer worries about contaminating other surfaces. You might want to double the bag, though, to prevent messy leaks.
- Packing #1. Pack shampoo, sunblock, mouthwash containers, and other things that can leak in zip bags in your suitcase so spills won’t ruin your clothes.
- Packing #2. Pack socks and underwear in bags so they’ll stay neatly in one place in your suitcase.
- Keep a few in a diaper bag. For diaper disposal for the times you can’t get to a garbage right away.
- Store out of season clothes. There are really big sizes that are great for this.
- Freezer food storage. You can store almost anything in zip top bags, but this is especially great for freezing single portions of soup. Fill the bag, seal, and lay on its side in the freezer to save space, too. You can stack them up and your freezer stays neat.
And I’m just getting started here! There must be dozens more ways to use zip top bags that are just as clever and practical.
