Helen is an Aussie so it’s in her DNA to haggle.

(It’s interesting to note in Helen’s bio that she admits her husband was shot in Argentina.)

Her tips on haggling will ensure that you never pay too much again. And she lists her top 10 favourite places to bag a bargain.

Just make sure the vendor isn’t packing heat before you start negotiations.
