Start asking, start saving !

Kids are good teachers.

Whenever my 3 years son is asking for something and I refuse, he will keep asking until I surround and give him whatever he wants. Am I weak? Maybe, but so are so many other people around us.

What children are doing is called persistence. They simply keep asking until they get what they want. Unfortunately, we loose this skill with age.

You should be wondering what all this has to do with IT products. In fact, 3 months ago, I have decided to apply my son's tactic with sales people on the ground. I started asking for a discount whenever I go shopping. It was scaring in the beginning but I got used to it with time. Today, I don't buy anything without asking and insisting to get a discount.

You will be surprised, but most of the stores can give between 5 to 10% discount on their IT products, or at least some free items. All you need to do is ask for it. This applies of course to all the other products and services, so don't buy anything blindly without asking.

You will see how much you can save if you get back your ''childish'' attitude.

Happy shopping !
