Australians rarely pay full prices for goods, but many new arrivals seem happy to pay the asking price.
You need to learn to haggle, or pay higher than everyone else. Example:
BOSCH 6.5kg Front Load Washing Machine WAE18060AUW Normal price is $949.00 You may pay $835 with a little haggling, but, by working at it, how about paying $687.00.
Yes, as at December 2008, that's a price that the above model can be purchased for.
Goodguys, who sell electrical goods, can give at least 12% of their normal ticket price.
Harvey Norman will always negotiate on price, in fact, who won't ?
OK, I am not going to ask for a discount at Woolworths for my bag of frozen chips !
We went to the markets the other day, sunglasses were $25 a pair, we paid $25 for TWO pairs ($12.50 each)

Meeting after a 38-year period of separation, Lionel Hardcastle (Geoffrey Palmer) and Jean Pargeter (Judi Dench) enjoy rekindling their relationship in this affectionate BBC comedy. The couple took a promising stab at romance in 1953, until Lionel was swept away to Korea to assume military duties during the Second World War. As they coincidentally reconvene after Lionel unwittingly hires Jean's daughter to work for him, much laughter ensues in this family-oriented jaunt through their blossoming relationship. All nine seasons of the show are contained on this release. Best price seen is US$68
