If you have Direct TV you just need to know the five magic words "I'm switching to Dish Network." Things will usually work out pretty well for ya.

Regarding Sirus XM just cancel your free subscription or don't buy a plan after your free trial. If you can go without for a couple of months they will just keep sweetening the deal. Don't even settle for $10 a month for a year, eventually it will go all the way down to $5.

Those little Cub Scouts that stop by your house and sell you popcorn are real pushovers. You throw a couple of Popsicles and sodas into the equation and next thing you know, you just became the top popcorn dealer in the neighborhood.

Rent, TV, washer and dryer, fridge, car, salary/benefits, XM, farmers markets at closing, flea market, butcher (real one, not a grocery store), watches, lumber yard, furniture, tires, gym membership, Craigslist items, men's warehouse, and xrays are all things/place I have haggled at/for.

EVERYTHING is negotiable to a certain extent.

Local dealers and smaller shops will deal better than Scheels. If you find it cheaper somewhere else I bet Scheels would match but I don't see them haggling a lot, could be wrong though. Whenever I have bought there it is already on sale and decently priced so I haven't seen the need to haggle.

Not exactly sure.
Im interested. Didnt go to mexico either did you?
The bigger companies own the laser and hire the doctors to perform the surgery. The doctor gets a flat fee for the weekend. So half price for someone who can fill an open spot is still more cash to pay the ills.

You haggle with a butcher? Like, over a string of sausages?

It takes stones to argue with a guy that has a large freezer, a set of sharp knives and is adept at cutting things up.

Not necessarily haggling, but I call and renegotiate my cable bill with Time Warner every year since they offer "promotions" all the time. I usually end up maintaining what I was paying or dropping it by a few bucks.

My internet and cable salesman actually told me to do this. They just give you a new promotion every year.

This one kills me. Directv offered me everything on earth to keep my subscription. We wanted out, so we didnt take them up on it, but if we wanted to use it as leverage, we would have made out like kings. They are desperate.

Interesting. When I left them, I told them I'm leaving for real, so offer me what you can offer me now, because when you call me with the offer a month from now, I'll tell you guys to go F yourselves. Guess who called a month later...?

I was getting a lot of calls from them for weeks from various numbers all over the country. I finally asked them to remove me from their list. The are unrelenting.
