When you are at a restaurant you can ask, "Do you have any specials?" which sounds a lot better than, "Can I have a discount?" I agree that it doesn't hurt to ask, because many places will not advertise discounts so it is up to the customer to seek them out. There are some places that will offer discounts if you pay in cash instead of credit card. There are ways of asking for a discount without coming off rude.

I am a hardcore of travelling. Every time when I start to have a trip, I will always search online to see if there are some good deals. Then I SAVE a lot.

I wish it hadn't taken me so long to be smart about money. My husband and I are "almost" seniors and have agressively pursued our goal of a secure retirement. You rock! last summer I got a $30.00 a night reduction on a hotel just by going online and then calling the hotel to ask if there was a better deal. Don’t take this the wrong way, but I love you!
