Go to a food market in a developing country, and that is how it works. Everyone is haggling for everything all the time.

Except with haggling, I can talk the price down to keep it in my budget. That's stressful and unnecessary really, but at least there is an avenue to lower the price inherent in the system.

Try haggling at somewhere like wal mart. Go to a cashier, or hell, the store manager and try to get them to reduce the price.
