I don't bargain too as I lived and shopped in the west most of my adult life :) I have not mastered the fine art of bargaining and the few times I tried, I made a fool of myself;) Meera Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578893085543656099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860695810666667033.post-77436707643018226382013-09-22T11:32:01.002-04:002013-09-22T11:32:01.002-04:00Thank you Katherine:) I have proof that I always ...Thank you Katherine:) I have proof that I always pay more !!!! But then my sentiments are like yours and so far paying a little extra hasn't been a hardship - may be I will mind it if it hurts my pocket book more !

I'm always leery when I don't see a price tag, and I'm pretty sure I get charged more than others, but I don't mind at all, it IS a hard life to sell your wares like that. And paying for something the seller has made or grown with their own hands, is far better than just giving it to them out of charity.
