Sometimes, but not always. The big stores can't do anything, but I've
gotten many discounts for cash. shoe store gives me 5%. appliance store
took $50 off the price of a dishwasher, $100 off the refrigerator.
Jewelry store saves me the tax. Plenty of small stores will give you a
break.

The more you pay the easier it is for me not to. I see no reason to
give a bank 2% of everything I buy. You don't have a choice buying on
line, but I do get 3% back from Amazon.
