Sunday Market Haggling – What to Know!

- If you plan on buying in bulk, say for example you want flowers for a wedding, then ask for a bulk discount. If you don’t ask you won’t receive!
- Be polite and know the etiquette. Some market traders will welcome haggling but others won’t engage. Try to find out before you insult someone!
