I’ve been doing a TON of shopping lately. I had it done in October last year due to an impending birth and loved it.
Recently, a toy I purchased on Amazon for $56 was on Zulily for $34. I got right on Amazon to ask about canceling my order. I missed the deadline but they told me to refuse the shipment.
In another case, I ordered a set of DVD’s. Three days later, I got a catalog from where I purchased them and asked for a credit. No answer yet, but it could save me $10. After all, it never hurts to ask!
Have you ever saved just by asking?

The cap has a defect in it. It leaks none stop and waste the creamer. I emailed them and they have had several complaints on this same issue. They are redesigning the cape. They are sending me a refund for the product.

So, it does not hurt to ask.Sears lost my business on a stove because they refused to price match to Lowe’s. Crazy right? I just didn’t want to drive across town to Lowe’s but as it turned out,Lowe’s was the best deal in the end.
