Haggling

In Phnom Penh, there are several large markets where you can buy almost anything found in the grocery store/supermarket. These markets are paradise for hagglers, frugal people, and bargainers. Now I love a good bargain as much as the next individual, but to get that bargain you have to be good at haggling. That is where my skills lack ALOT. When I try to haggle, the vendors always give this puppy eye face and then I feel guilty for trying to bargain. I know it is relatively cheap already...I mean 3 pieces of Tupperware is $2.00. That is a great deal, right? Apparently it is not a great deal because you can get those three pieces of Tupperware for half the price. 

Personally, I do not think it is a big deal that I cannot haggle. Clarification...I can haggle a little bit. If I try really hard, I can get it down fifty cents. That is right, a whole fifty cents which is like using a coupon. That is good enough for me! After all, I only recently started using coupons. :)
