Is that true? They are running a business and if they are receiving the supplies at an expensive price then you won't getting cheaper at all even if you ask.
I just bought something recently and it's my common necessity, so I know the price. It did increase but I never ask for a bargain because I know about the economic decline.
You should also consider that you might be cutting off the profits of those who are trying to survive from all this problem. If you have the money, then just buy it with the given price especially if it's locally produced.

It would be quite difficult fór one to bargain for everything including the landlord rent, seeing that the recession is affecting every gender and business altogether. For cases where the bargain for a certain goods is not feasible and the option of getting another is a big constraint, what would one do if not to succumb to the price or forgo such an expense at the moment.
I always try to bargain the prices of what I want to buy or pay for because it is after paying and I find out am broke or have bought what I could easily have delayed its gratification, the problem of how to survive onward is often what becomes the case.

The high cost of goods and services is everywhere. The world is experiencing bad economy as inflation continues to damage the standard of our living. You asking for cheaper prices from sellers is not bad but will they accept to reduce price since they too will claim they are also hit by the inflation. Everybody is looking for a way to make profit. Most landlords are even increasing rents and you are talking of begging yours to reduce it. You must have a good landlord if he agrees to reduce rent for you.
Prices are rising for everything due to inflation and it takes some time for everyone to get used to the new conditions, prices for products and services rise in the first place, and salaries will even out later, so you need to survive this difficult period and everything will work out. As for the rent, it is necessary to talk to the landlord, explain the situation and find a way out.

Maybe our local government can do something. They can give some cash assistance or goods but let us hope this doesn't make the situation worse. You know, extra printing of cash is also bad.
Governments are regulators and has an SRP to implement for most of our commodities and basic needs. They can subsidize those products that are increasing and like non stop price hikes that's happen.

They can apply this and work on it for the fuel prices. Oil products have been the worst in terms of price hikes because it has non stoply increasing and if it's going to roll back, they're lesser than what has been the increased price.

And the sad thing about this is that you can't do what OP is suggesting and to ask for a bargain price, it doesn't go like that for products like oil or petroleum.

Or the place he is renting is horrible and he is the only one who agrees to live there. That is why landlord gives him that discount. It will always be like that, that people wont be able to afford to buy their own place to live. There will be always those who rent. If I was his landlord, I would not give him that discount, but find another person who will rent it for full price. It is ok to ask for a better price once, maybe few times. But we are not on the market, and asking bargain every time and everywhere, I think is wrong or inacceptable.

it must be so, everything must adjust to the circumstances, so as to at least reduce one's burden in terms of economy.
because in an economic situation like this everyone must support and understand each other.
but what you rent is a house or an apartment, and how much rent do you spend for a month.
For us consumers we can easily say this but did this ever approved? No right? It's not that all retailers have no soul. They do also think of their consumers but if they will let their emotions consume them then they will also be the one that will suffer at the end because they are also buying their stocks at a not so friendly price.

We should only understand that this was normal and there are still times that the price are going to normalize again. We just need to wait and learn what we can do in order to survive. Maybe our local government can do something. They can give some cash assistance or goods but let us hope this doesn't make the situation worse. You know, extra printing of cash is also bad.

Bargaining for food and other things nowadays is difficult as they already come at a high price. Only a few landlords will lower their rent rather than increase it unless your landlord has a good heart and takes care of you. Simply approach your landlord and bargain with him; simply tell him the real reason; if he still refuses, we can't do anything because everyone is experiencing this, and we need more money because all of the foods are very expensive now. We can tighten our budgets more and try to work more, like getting side hustles, etc to earn more money.

Due to inflation, everything got expensive, prices are skyrocketing and the supplies are very low making the whole situation worst. Low quality products before are already expensive as well because of the inflation

This is important thing that you have touch on. The situation now is bringing to the market substandard goods and people buy because of good products are very expensive. Products going into the market don't really fit to be in the market because they are fake and people consume to their body and this is dangerous because it is going to have bad effect to the system. The situation is worse for the poor people who are not able providing adequate care for themselves and family so they consume just what they see.

Calling for cheap house rent from your landlord will only happen if your landlord is trying to consider the economic hardship on you. It's hard for landlords to reduce the house rent of their tenants rather they prefer increasing the house rent as time goes on. The best they can do is to give you some time for you to fix yourself or pack out of their house if you pay up your house rent. The reason why tenant's houses are built by landlords is to take care of them and their families in terms like this when there is economic inflation of goods

You are very correct, everybody wants to buy commodities at a very cheap rate but have you ever considered if the cost of production is cheap. We are in a period were there is inflation, high cost of power and fuel and everybody including manufacturers are also feeling the pains. The best thing to do for now is to seek for cheaper alternative of any product you consume. My children are now consuming locally produced food instead of expensive company manufactured baby-food/cereals.I had to move out of my bigger accommodation to a smaller place because I could no longer comfortably afford it. But this doesn't write-off the fact that we should bargain for the best prices. 

Due to inflation, everything got expensive, prices are skyrocketing and the supplies are very low making the whole situation worst. Low quality products before are already expensive as well because of the inflation, for those who doesn't have enough money, they have no choice but eat anything that they can afford, but if you have the money, always go for the nutritional foods and products.

You can never ask for cheap prices anyways even though the economy is down because businesses needs to make profits to ensure their businesses to keep on running. Making their products cheap because the economy is down doesn't make any sense at all.

This should always be the attitude we must have, we know better than anyone else how difficult it is for us to earn any money, so we need to do what we can to obtain the most we can out of it, now this does not necessarily mean that every single decision needs to optimal but at least we need to make an effort to take the best decision possible when a lot of money is on the line, as an example buying a car is an important financial decision, however new cars are very expensive, if you can get a car just a few years old with a low mileage for a low price this is way a better deal than to buy a new car.
In making decisions we need to consider many things and I think that is important,
basically making decisions is not easy and it might be wiser if we take the middle ground,
but what is clear is that everyone has their decision and they must be responsible

Not necessary to all of the things and also depends on your approach to them If you have a work, then your boss paid you less than you want your salary be, what would you feel? We are all fighting to survive, be fair. Indeed, if you would be able to buy something cheaper than thr amount it was introduced, it would be better but atleast, ask for it politely and don't demand them to decrease the price as if they are required to do so.

I disagree with the word anything because you can't, yes some places you can negotiate and reduce the price but most of the basic needs like groceries, veggies, meat are fixed price everywhere even if its a roadside shop the price is fixed.
Yes , and these fixed prices has something to do eith utilities, rent of the building where market is placed, electricity they are using to make customers comfortable, while they are busy bargaining. Things has state of appropriateness do let us all be mindful.

If you guys are not that needy, just buy that thing in particular as it is. Let those who are in need to bargain for it.

If I go to McDonalds and try to ask for a discount, they will first offer me an alternative (hamburger instead of bigmac), but then will simply say "next" and cancel my order. Try to bargain in supermarket. Even though store chain buy everything in bulk and giving you a discount wont make any significant different on their income, they wont give you a special price.

You know that your proposal can work in both directions? If you bargain everywhere, get ready that one day your boss will give a discount to his customer, but the difference in price will be reflected in your lower salary.

I did bargain asking and few other my friends and it worked becouse so many people allready did they had no way to refuse at the coffe i got 50 cent cheaper of coffe.
All together we got 3$ saved that 3$ Will be invested in btc.

You can bargain at the flea market and it's worth doing because the outdoor vendors often charge very high prices if we don't bargain, we might end up spending more than its actual price. But in the supermarket you can't bargain with them, the product is already listed and the price is fixed.

You feel you have difficulty in life due to the crisis, you should save and not spend on unnecessary things, if you want to save investment then you don't need to drink coffee and save maximum to invest bitcoin, than bargain to save a small amount that you deem worthy. Everything goes up in price because of the crisis and no one wants this to happen, don't think only for yourself but not for others.

You got a discount for a coffee in McDonalds ? Or in a local coffee shop? As McDonalds is a franchise and all the prices, menus, software is negotiated with head office, it is impossible to get a discount there. Their cash desk PC dont have a button for discount. If you have paid less than it is stated in a menu, then McDonalds employee has put his own money into cash desk. If it is a local coffee - the owner can afford to give a discount, he controls price policy himself.

What are the motives to give you a discount, to bargain? Why should people even do that? Only because you want to pay a lower price? If you bargain because you are short of money then this is one thing. But if you just want to pay less than others, then you are scrooge. Why you think you are special and have to pay less, while others pay full price?

I like your OP's suggestion, but it looks like a utopia. Based on your philosophy, when inflation rises, we have the right to bargain. At the same time, why are food prices rising? If there is no need to raise the prices of goods, why do they rise? I don't see the logic. In my country, prices can only go up. For whatever reason, they will always find an explanation for why goods have risen in price. If I go in and start haggling, explaining that I now have the right to do so, I will look like a crazy person to others.

While it is definitely a good idea to look out for bargains and try to see if there is any wiggle room on the price, you should be aware of the setting as well. If you're at a market stall and haggling over a little discount, that would seem appropriate, but if you're at a 3 star Michelin restaurant then they have carefully curated their menu and are paying a premium for every single part of the experience - you're likely to look a bit naive. However in most settings in life it makes sense to check for any discounts or even do advance research because there may be easily available vouchers that you might be able to redeem at an online store or similar perks for easy money off.

I don't see the logic in this one.

If everyone is already having a hard time financially, why would the merchants even accept your plea of bargaining anyway? This might even put their business in peril and may even affect their funds for their business. It just isn't making any logic at all to bargain when everything is turning to shit. You can always try, but do not expect that people will be so welcoming of how you try to bargain when they themselves aren't doing well enough even if they are supplying the goods.
When everyone is experiencing the same situation and struggling to survive, I guess asking for a bargain price will not be reasonable anymore. Although everyone has the freedom to ask, but never expect that it will be granted as much as you like. Business will always aim to prosper and grow, but if you always insist to bargain their prices, then how they can make profits out from their business? With the high rising inflation we have right now, everyone is affected so we should also be considerate too.

Does the owner of the house you rent agree to when you ask for the house rental price to be reduced to a lower price? Because in my place, no one ever wants to lower any rent, including houses, shops, and agricultural land. Even some people have started to raise the price a little from the usual, so that it makes some people move to find another house or shop for them to rent.

After all, no one here cares about the bad economy, so if anyone who doesn't prepare money in advance to continue their lease, they must immediately move to another place or leave the place they have rented before.
Business will always continue regardless if the economy is bad, so if one can’t afford the rental, then he should start to move and find cheaper place that he can afford, and not that he will ask a bargain price from his landlord because it’s his own problem and not with the landlord anymore. However, if we ask a bargain price, we should also first check if it’s reasonable to ask or not, sometimes it’s a case to case basis too.
