Then I went to the car wash.  I asked if they had any coupons.The attendant told me about a special they were running on their coupon books. 然后我去洗车。我问他们是否有任何优惠券。服务员告诉我关于一个他们运行在优惠券的书的特价。
Since that is where I get my car washed regularly, I bought the coupon book and saved 40% on my car washes, which amounted to a total savings of $50. 因为这就是我经常洗我的车,我买了我洗车的赠券书并优惠了40%,这相当于50美元。

Next I stopped to buy a new pair of running shoes.  When checking out, I asked if they had any coupons. 接下来,我停下来买一双新跑鞋。付钱的时候,我问他们是否有任何优惠券。

But the cashier told me about their loyalty program: for every $350 a customer spends, he or she gets a $10 gift card, so I signed up. 但收银员告诉我关于他们的忠诚计划:为每个客户花350美元,他或她得到一个10美元的礼品卡,所以我注册了。
By doing nothing more than asking for a discount when checking out, I was able to save $81 that day. 在付钱时,只不过通过要求折扣,我能够节省81美元。
For years I had purchased many products at the listed price.  I never saved a penny because I never asked. 多年来,我购买了许多明码标价的产品。我从来没有攒过一分钱,因为我从来没有问。

He paused, did some calculations, and gave me $800 off!  That’s a substantial savings! 他停顿了一下,做了一些计算,给了我800美元优惠!那是一大笔钱!
