Call You and Yours: Are we obsessed with getting the best deal?
Is it justified to expect something at the lowest price or do discounts and haggling come at a greater cost?
Is it absolutely necessary to get something for the lowest price? Is it justified when money is tight?
Expecting a bargain may make us smarter consumers, but has it stripped us of our decency?
Footage of people fighting in supermarkets for discounted TVs has served as a wake-up call for Christmas shoppers.
Perhaps you're someone who hates the idea of paying any more than necessary, and devotes time to researching the best price.
Maybe you're a business owner or trader, with experience on the receiving end of people who insist on a discount? Or someone who witnessed the chaos of Black Friday?
