Abdul Is the Ultimate Haggler | Extreme Cheapskates

My name is Abdul and I am an

extreme

cheapskate. I love being cheap because I like zeros in my bank account. I basically run a successful business. I have a mobile food business with hot dog carts. This is my trusted friend Mr. Weiner, when I take out my sausage, that's when the magic happens, everyone wants to take a photo, everyone is going crazy for this, so if I'm a little slow, I take out my sausage and here goes, my husband bargains for anything, whether it is his need. or something that I might want or he just wants, he'll haggle over anything if you can do that right there 343 in the tank oh man, I don't know if we can do that, I mean 350. 350 okay, we gotta get it right, man, here I care, it's so embarrassing, let me buy two bigger burgers and two chocolate shakes, please, eleven sixty-four, I'm fresh in the window, thank you.

Hello, your total is eleven sixty-four eleven sixty-four correct, how about I get rid of the 64? let's make it 11 even if you wanted to take away a shake or a burger or not, no, let's leave it all right, well, um, yeah, it would be 11.64, so let's just take 50 cents off and call it 11 50. 50 cents, how ? "I throw a few extra packets of ketchup and salt in your bag. How about that? Oh my goodness. I'm never going to take you anywhere again when it comes to haggling. I'd say I probably have an 85 success rate when Abdul haggles, I think to myself.

This is one more store I can't go to again. You can't go into those stores again. Don't always look at the price tag. 25 is so much worse. that we are going somewhere. You have to do this, that's why I'm leaving you at home, let me see how much we have so far 135. don't embarrass me, okay, okay, you're ready to run, yes, we are. Excuse me, I just want to talk to you a little bit about pricing, so you know, let me go one by one here. Do we have any wiggle room with this jacket? You know, we try to price their stuff at a really good price, but what I could do is give you You're a ten dollar bob, how about another five dollars off each item?

Um, because you're new, I'll do twenty percent off, so we're going to take ten dollars off each item. No, I'll do a direct twenty percent that brings. we got it down to 327. so we started on what four four twenty two four twenty two three twenty seven okay thank you very much cat so it's not that I don't have money it's just that I don't want to spend it all it's my 10th anniversary is coming up and I want to do something special for my wife, but I don't really want to spend a lot of money, so I gave myself a budget of 25.

So I bring my good friend Rick, he wants to organize this anniversary for under 25. I'm like you're crazy, there's no way you can do this i know how much things cost it's not going to happen i don't think he can do it i know i could do it 25 it won't be very good it'll be a great party for 25 i guarantee we can make it rick has never really shot with me like this who never knew how to haggle or knew that I haggle at all, so I'm sure Rick will be surprised today, so one of my stops is the party store.

I have a strategy when I go to the store, you know, when you buy some things that are out of season, okay, you'll probably get a better deal for me, balloons or balloons so the guy had some discounted balloons, it's the idea that count ten to twelve dollars. Ten to twelve dollars. I can check if I have balloons on sale. I have a couple there. I can see if I have. something on clearance, oh look here, look Gary, it's an anniversary sale, hey, it's good, I'm sure your wife will like it, though no, it's okay, they're colorful, they get the job done, that price is a bit too high for me.

Do you have any other options that may not be as expensive as that? I'm totally embarrassed. We're there at the counter and it's this balloon that's 2.99 and he keeps haggling this guy and you fill it up. with helium, what if we like three quarters of the helium? Then it probably won't float, so air is cheaper than helium. Air is cheaper than helium. Well, if we made all the air in balloons, what? We are looking? You'd probably take off a couple of dollars, maybe make seven or eight dollars if you do something a little simpler, yeah, something with air, doesn't it contain oxygen?

We breathe oxygen every day, but I have to pay this guy for his oxygen. No, I'll use my own oxygen. I'm going to take these shots like this. Do you have any more discontinued ones or is it this one? Oh, I had, I had one more, but it's just a police car. It seems like oh no, that's great, no. It doesn't say anniversary, you don't want there to be no police cars there, right? It's all about laughs man, I'm sure this right here will get some laughs, let's throw that in there. 3.75 cents, we have a deal.

That, I can't do that, I'm just giving you a great deal with that two dollars and 25 cents, we got a deal, Gary, come on, Gary, how about 250? Gary, if you go fifth, we can go to 225. We have 270. we have 250. 245 let's get over the middle 245 245 we see all kinds of customers coming through the door, but I can't say if I've ever seen anyone that's been this cheap , so I walk into the store with a lot of confidence thinking that I'm going to get this cake for my wife. I don't know exactly how I'm going to do it.

I need a pastry maker. Okay, today, I have an anniversary party for my wife, about six people. Okay, we have our 10 inch round. Serves between 10 and 10.15. um and that's 29.99. I have a limited budget, you know? I'm not trying to raid your business or anything, but is there anything I can do to make that a little less than the 29.99 it costs? If you took the frosting off, but what cake would be just a naked cake? The frosting is included in that price, so it's like buying a car without wheels. Yeah, what I'm trying to do is cut this. it costs a lot more what's your budget what do you want to spend 25 25 okay let's see we have that's for the whole party the whole party let's see and I know this is weird what if I brought some of my own ingredients there's a code health in the sense that you can't, we have to buy everything, so I'm throwing all kinds of options at this lady and nothing works somehow, we need to make this cake for seven dollars, okay, I don't know if I can do that?

It is a 10 inch round cake. Can we make it 7 inches? If that's really a size, we don't do it right. How about this at the end of the day? I'm sure you guys don't use all your materials with your flour and stuff and I'm not picky, so what if you used some of the leftover ingredients and put them in the cake? You are killing me. Hey, we have another option, we have cake pops, cake pop, what? Does it look like a cake? It is a layered cake frosting cake. They are 1.50 pieces, so you could get six icing sprinkles.

You will get everything that a cake would have. It is made with leftover ingredients. Yeah, okay, could we get it? about 75 cents, but we're talking about leftover ingredients here, oh, they're fresh, you're going to throw them away anyway 85 cents on the dollar, fifty, okay, 95 cents, we have to do it, I have to keep a dollar, 98 cents, how about 99 cents? 99 cents I got a perfect deal I'll go get them for you it's still cake I mean it's unique everyone can have their own individual cake pop so I think I came out better than the cake so I left the store with eight Cake Pops.

I appreciate my wife, you know, most husbands don't even remember their anniversary, all these balloons, this is a lot of love, here I will tell you, oh, I have to stay up at least two three hours, well, the napkins say sixteen , but I'm sure we're going to celebrate 16 years of happy marriage, so hey, my guests come to this party and they walk in and their first reaction is good. I was a little surprised when I walked in, it was definitely different than what Rick would do. You've done it, you can't have a party like this for 25, I hope Sean is happy, why are the balloons hanging everywhere?

It's an interesting story. Here's the problem: They're short on helium, so each one of those balloons is hiding in blue. I know this might not be the way I would have done it for my wife, but it worked. My wife was a little surprised at first, but she calmed down and I realized that she knew that he really loved her and it is the thought of her that tells him about her. In the end, Abdul is a cheapskate, but I mean, most husbands forget anniversaries. Abdul, did you remember? He planned a party. He worked hard to get everything ready. 10 years, yes, 10 years.
