We went to our local market last night to grab a couple things after church and decided to get a couple cans tomato sauce to make chili. We usually get the big gallon can size. Well last night they were all dented, every one of them. I know this store and the owners and the cans looked ok so we got a couple anyway. When we got to the check out I asked the girl if they give a discount for dented cans. Guess what? I got then half price! My only mistake was not being smart enough to go get the rest. A gallon of tomato sauce for $1.69 is a very good deal.
So here are two tips, for this Frugal Friday.
- Always ask for a discount, ask nicely.
- When you get it, go back for more.

It is definitely always worth asking for a discount on an item! I have often gotten a nice discount on the deli rotisserie chickens or bakery items by shopping at night (right before closing) and asking if they would discount their leftover items. The worst they can do is say ‘no’! Great tip!
