Haggling is as old as the hills, yet in the UK, a quarter of us admit to being terrible at it*. Fear of feeling awkward, coming across as rude, and not knowing what an acceptable offer is are all cited as top reasons for not asking for a better price. However, if you can summon the courage, chances are it will pay off.

'Remember, the worst that can happen is you're told "no", adds Adam Bullock, UK director of TopCashback.
