Great to see videos like this where they aren't ridiculous prices. Too many content creators are like 1.2 mill for a soccer jersey! "what a bargain" I think that if anything, that turns people off Bali. You can pay as much as you want but sometimes the store vendors can get greedy and used to charging ridiculous prices to first time travellers, causing them to lose sales. Your outro was great. 'Couple' of extra bucks is good advice, can help more people with $2 each person than 1 person with $10. A big part of Bali tourism is the prices and I always find it interesting when you go to Beach walk mall and its western prices but no one has bags full of shopping.
Off to Bali / Seminyak next week - first time in 20 yrs (did 3 trips in 3 months whilst working at Qantas) - these bag shops were everywhere then, and looks like nothing has changed. Shopping is not what i will be doing there - just relaxing and dining. (Noticing how much Poppies lanes have changed - and the increase in bike numbers !!!!
Hey guys, just a quick thank you for all the tips and information that you both have given us over the last couple of months. We have just returned back from our 6 nights in Seminyak and 5 nights in Sanua. We felt like we were regular visitors to Bali, knowing what we knew from all your videos. Thanks again, keep up the amazing work and it’s gonna be hard watching your new material because we now realise why you and a lot of people love Bali.
Hey guys , thanks for your videos , we are heading over in early January for the first time! It's going to be a much better experience thanks to the knowledge that I've managed to gather from you pair. Awesome stuff!
Bali store. It's a proper shop, and when I bought it, I think that there were only two stores in Bali. Now it has become a chain with new ones popping up all over the place (just like Mcdonalds). Shirts are $30 - I think that prices should come down now seeing that their stuff has become mass produced (still top quality though).
please keep an eye out and make sure you are subscribed as we are just about to release a video that shows great prices on bag after bag after bag at fixed price stores in Sanur.
Sabrinas is only slightly negotiable. But yes, we didn't get to haggle in that store because the owner recognised us and was really happy about some of the business last year's video brought her. As a result, she literally gave us the bag at cost, first time that has ever happened to us. it felt nice to be recognised for some of the hard work we put in.
You're better than me, been coming to Bali since 1990, 64 times and hate bargaining now I will pay extra at fixed price shops so I don't get frustrated...
I see people, time after time, including us - bargaining our backsides off to still end up paying more or the same as the fixed price stores. Everything about them is easier (and, if you want, they are still slightly negotiable). 64 times, that means that you are always in Bali, if you see us, be sure to say hi.
Ahhh, really, it's the first soccer top I have bought. It did feel really comfortable. They did have great quality in the first, just not the top I was after. Okay, Manchester united Ha Ha, LOL.
We are still paying way way less than the overwhelming majority of people. Eg: paying $8 to $9 for a dress, $5 for shorts and $5 for mediocre sunglasses ($10 for good ones) etc. Some see it as a game where driving the price down to a pittance is good practice which doesn't need to happen. What we pay in our videos (we have a few) is pretty spot on.
Hi i love watching your videos i always watching imyour video were here in bali now

There are no issues with bringing items back to Australia. Pack neatly in suitcase so they don't get crushed on the way home and HAPPY DAYS.
You both currently in Bali.

How much cost for the bags 🎒 you didn't show your haggling skills or you paid top price 🤔

The First Soccer shop was better quality ,I've bought heaps of Soccer ⚽️ tops from Bali, and Sam you don't say just Manchester 😅😅 you say United 😉
Ahhh, really, it's the first soccer top I have bought. It did feel really comfortable. They did have great quality in the first, just not the top I was after. Okay, Manchester united Ha Ha, LOL.
If youre happy to pay more than you should, youre pushing the prices up for everyone else. Bali is getting expensive fast.
