Here is a tip that a lot of people don't use.
NEGOTIATE AND ASK FOR DISCOUNTS.
Americans have a cultural resistance to negotiating. We tend to accept that the listed price is the price you pay for something. But this isn't always the case, especially for higher ticket items like cars, houses or bigger ticket consumer purchases like mattresses or furniture. Also smaller sellers such as your Facebook marketplace contact or your local store manager often have more flexibility to work with you on pricing than people in larger bureaucractic organizations.
The great thing about negotiating is that the worse thing thats going to happen is the seller will say no. It literally costs you nothing to ask for a discount, so ask.
