Save More with Haggling

Sainsbury's reports that motorist are losing around £400 million annually for not haggling that could've save an estimated average of £1,468 per individual.

Nineteen percent of prospected car buyers between September up to February will not barter on the price while 60 percent are prepared to haggle hard just for a lower price.

This is one of the best time to haggle over the price you pay with the current economic situation, according to head of Sainsbury's loans, Steven Baillie.
