“it’s the thought that counts” is what you say when your kid brings you home an ugly necklace they won from the classroom treasure chest, or when an old relative you don’t really know gets you an ugly scarf for your graduation. that should NOT be the rule for making your significant other feel special on your TEN YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. how this couple lasted longer than even one year is beyond me.
Right!! My family doesn't extra money lying around but for my parents 20th anniversary my dad took a little money aside every paycheck so they could go to a cabin that they went to on their wedding night
Man I miss the classroom treasure chest that I’m pretty sure was just a plastic box of party favors but thank you for the memory, I’d totally forgotten about that :)

Honestly though. They're always like "I'm the smartest cheapskate" when they literally go into the most expensive stores, expensive restaurants, and try to buy as many things as possible just to even save a penny...
I feel such second hand embarrassment for everyone around this guy 😬 Dude - buy a $1.99 cake mix and MAKE YOUR OWN DANG CAKE! Do not treat service people like their work and talent are worthless 🤦🏼♀️
@@greatleader4841 You can mix the cake mix in the cooking pan to save on a dish (won't be pretty, but it's possible) and mix it with a single spoon and physical labor. As for cooking it, using the oven for 40 minutes would likely be cheaper than the amount of gas to go haggle, especially in this economy. And it saves the wife from being humiliated.
Apparently they got divorced, I’m glad If so because it was so sad hearing her say that. :( you could tell she wanted more but was settling for him because she loved him
@@robert1990robert It's a holdover from the Gen-X tendency to jokingly deprecate spouses in social settings. Later generations call it the "hate your spouse" generation, but later generations just don't understand self-deprecation due to an overall lack of resilience. TL;DR it was never more than an 80s sitcom setup. Most people who stay married remember anniversaries. If you're forgetting an anniversary it's not so much a catalyst for the end of a relationship than a symptom of one individual or the other losing interest.
This is just plain upsetting. He's not finding clever loopholes like the coupon people or finding areas to be self sufficient in. He just want everyone to make an exception for him because he can't be bothered to accept the rules of working economy or respect other people's work. It's sad that anyone bends to this, especially if it's only because of the cameras.
I know right lol, the coupon lady was cool, because that's more realistic to an extent. However this guy's idea of haggling is wait for them to give you something you didn't ask for that is already at a cheaper price lol. That's not haggling, that's literally just finding a cheaper option😂😂
I wouldn't care if there's cameras, I would sent that pseudo-man to hell!!! Like, dude, I have a business and employees to maintain, that's why everything has a certain cost, pay it entirely or leave!!
I think it's also cause he wears them out, at some point the time spent talking to him instead of doing their job costs more than just giving him the deal... but yeah, he's not being smart about it at all, if he went to the dollar store and made the cake himself (it's not that hard to buy a ready mix and just following the instructions so even if he doesn't know anything about cooking and baking he could have made it) he would have spent little as well without bothering so many people and making everyone cringe, probably would have saved up on gas as well going to one single store. I bet he made the friend pay for gas since he drove him around, even though he was there "to help" (did he do anything other than cringe though?)
@@0Onyx13 Yeah i can believe a lot of the stuff he gets 'deals' on is because the person is sick of him. In smaller shops theres less staff to deal with him, i expect he has no problem holding up other people in the queue while he goes on and on. Most people probably end up doing it to get him out of the shop
I was hosting one night at a restaurant I worked at and a guy got mad at me because I told him he still owed .36 cents out of his meal. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but the register was under my name, so guess who gets in trouble if it’s short. ME! If I let everyone walk away without paying the odd cents, especially if it’s a large group that pays separately, that will add up and could easily be $15 to $20 short by the end of the shift.
Man, this guy is a piece of work. The prices listed aren't "suggestions" and aren't "negotiable". Props to that fast food worker for not folding like the rest of the people in this video. Having worked in retail as a cashier, when I see people like this I'm like "You got a coupon? No? Then the price ain't changing. We don't haggle or negotiate. You want to do that, go find a yard sale or something."
@@gobshyteguru2695 um.... why? Because the company sets the price and the employees have no power to change it usually? It's so weird that you think it's that big of a deal that people would get angry about not getting a few dollars off 🤣🤣 try this shit at McDonald's or Walmart they'll just look at you like you're stupid 🤣 prices are not negotiable 😆😆 ESPECIALLY with the gas station, that would literally NEVER happen lmfao
Honestly, it's so much better to do nothing than to deliberately do something shitty for someone. Him just bringing her coffee and breakfast in bed and saying "happy anniversary, honey, I love you so much, you mean the world to me" would be so much more thoughtful than all this barely-not-literal-trash
Right? Massage her feet, make her a corny but often very effective "relationship coupon book" Plenty of free stuff that lots of people love and is sadly often overlooked
I think he’s just a shitty husband and tries to play it off with his cheapskate thing. They make it seem like if he wasn’t a cheapskate he would’ve done more but i think the same shitty amount of effort would’ve been put in even if he wasn’t one
@@kinley.-. my husband will wear underwear with holes in them for months (I secretly mend them most times lol) just to save money but will hand me his wallet the moment I say "I want...", without a question. This guy just sucks period lmao
The wild thing is if he'd just done like an intimate, romantic home-cooked dinner instead of inviting a bunch of people over he probably could've done something actually passable for $25.
For $25 he could have gotten decorations, candles, and an anniversary card from the dollar tree, and cooked a nice pasta dinner with garlic bread and dessert. 🤷🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️😂. I honestly think he does this more for the attention than actually being a "cheapskate".
I work at a clothing store. As employees, we get in trouble with the company when they know we did something like that. Loss Prevention would be all over that shit. Why would a haggler think I would risk MY job to save them money?
@@whyparkjiminnotridejimin well here they are VERY common, theres like 20 to 30 in my small city! So theres no excuse here. And there are even upscale ones that only take in name brand, perfect condition, really stylish clothes. Some still have original price tags on them and are under half the price! Yard and garage sales are really common and popular here too. If they are so worried about saving money then they should NEVER be shopping in an expensive retail store like that. I'm not nearly as cheap as him but I've NEVER had my retail bill come to $400! I cant believe he even let her go into that shop tbh...
"I AM looking at what you've done." The contempt for this man in her voice, I was done. Laughing too hard. She gave him divorce papers right after the episode was filmed lol
Don't go into a local/family owned business and haggle their prices - bakery, restaurant, store, whatever, it's so disrespectful. You could go to the Dollar Tree and buy a PACKAGE of plain balloons, and even occasion balloons, a box of cake mix, chips, dip, ice cream even sparkling cider. With money to spare. You could even use that extra money to go to Walmart for a plain basic cake for like $5. I know this is for the cameras but the baker caving is so upsetting🤦🏻♀️
exactly, like I hate how these people are always shown going into super expensive stores or privately owned businesses when there's stores like antique shops, dollar stores...they're made for a reason
@@jackrabbit. I've never lived anywhere that I've been able to buy something 'cheap' at an antique store - they are selling old, high quality, often handcrafted items that aren't produced anymore. Where are these cheap antique stores?
"Some husbands forget :)" has such "well at least he doesn't hit me" energy. I really hate this dude. She is far too patient with him. She deserves better
Why did he need to go with the “child’s birthday party” theme?? Just get a grocery store cake, grocery store wine, dollar store electric candles (so you can use them for more than one occasion), hand write a card, turn down the lights, put on some music, and pick some flowers on your way home. Bam, it’s much more romantic and also not expensive! Getting balloons that say “happy birthday” just draws attention to the fact that you’re not even trying.
He could even do all of that under $25 if he got the $5 cake from Walmart or Kroger’s. This is him truly being lazy, or the show wanted some more dramatics. Either way, I would’ve left this dude so fast.
For real! Just skip the balloons! They are a waste of money! They are just gonna end up in the trash, plus I'm a grown woman! I dont want stupid balloons lol
Fr can even make it cheaper by getting plain balloons and writing happy anniversary or just a heart on them. Idk why all these "cheapskates" shop at pricier places, just makes the show seem more fake imo.
He’s got his own business. So he obviously has to PAY taxes to the IRS every year. So you think he tries to haggle with the IRS? IRS: “you gotta pay us 4500” Abdul: “what about 300?” IRS: “how about you pay us before we take you to jail?!” Abdul: “500 and we have a deal!”
If a man stopped working and wanted his wife to pamper him, people would call him a leech and a loser. How would this woman be any different if she didn't work again?
@@randichatelainmiller6606 He probably over charges. He comes off as greedy and really selfish to do this to his wife and these locally owned businesses. I would have told him to leave my store. Maybe the cameras make them feel guilty into caving in but i would have kicked him out my store...lol
@@randichatelainmiller6606 It really isnt. Hopefully this guy owns this gas station bc if he didnt u can bet he got fired..bc of a greedy little man...smh. OR this show is fake bc i dont see half of these ppl caving in like they did. The only guy who didnt give in was the drive thru guy...he gave him ketchup packets that are free anyway😂😂
I worked in a cheese packaging factory in North Mississippi. When we would complete the kraft shredded cheese order, only thing we would do is swap to the great value packaging and run the EXACT same cheese. It was the exact same same additives, same blocks of cheese cut up and everything
Me too. How does he not know that he can get balloons, food, gift wrapping, gifts, etc for a dollar? That’s got to be one of the first things you find out in life
Any man that goes with a women and she buys $300-400 worth of clothes and accessories cannot be a cheapskate. Help her find $50-100 worth of clothes at a thrift store or garage sale then take the rest of that and spend on your anniversary. You can't haggle for change at a fast food restaurant and then spend hundreds on clothes.
Who invites friends over on a 10 year anniversary day? That’s the weirdest shit I’ve ever heard of 😂👏🏽 come on bruh I didn’t marry your friends with you LMFAO
The restaurant worker is an everyday hero for all of us who have at one time or another had to deal with completely irrational and unreasonable customers.
"Let's short-change the cashier's drawer and get them in trouble because I don't understand economics" The gas station was him using his Rewards card! 🤣😂
Sick relative: I've been injured and need a pint of blood now else I'll die, you're the only match! Abdul: How about 250ml of blood? Can they live off that if we mixed it with water? Water's free! No? Okay, do 530ml and we have a deal, I'll even throw in some CPR
What she said about most men forgetting is how women are seemingly trained to settle. You don't need to spend a whole lot of money if you don't have it but more than usual for a special event is important. For all those good men and husbands out there really showing how much they care about their significant other... keep it up, guys... much appreciation.❤️
I dont even think you gotta go all out. Just do something that shows you genuinely care, like take her out for dinner or a movie. Something the 2 of you could enjoy doing in each others company that isnt the usual.
Hubby and I are planning our church wedding, A LOT of stuff is coming out of the Dollar Tree. I'm just making a lot of the centerpieces and other stuff myself. We're not cheap, just don't have that much money. So far we've spent $2,500 and that's including the venue. Which is at a yacht marina. That has been the most expensive thing. Hope it comes out awesome! July 3, 2021!
Wonder how he would like people coming to his hotdog stand and trying to haggle the prices, lol. Used to deal with people like this in retail all the time and after turning them down 4-5 times they'd ask for the manager who would tell them the same thing. Honestly not sure where they get this idea that they get to bargain for the price of the item, it isn't ebay. Dude could literally go to any grocery deli and get a decent pre-made cake for $5 and put candles or something on it and instead is trying to haggle over a $20 cake, he's not nearly as savvy as he thinks he is, lol. Glad his wife left him, hope she took half the zeroes.
*Just a quick little update for y'all!! They did in fact get divorced after filming this episode! Kudos to the wife, most of us wouldn't have even lasted as long as she did!!* 😂😂😂😂
If my husband of 10 years had this addiction to hagglin', me constantly begging him to stop, and then expecting he might have a surprise for our 10 year anniversary, only for him to have done THIS?!?!? I would cry my eyes out and go stay at my sisters house for a while. That man has a problem
I will NEVER understand these people. Especially when they actually have decent paying jobs? Like you’re “saving” money so you can then never spend any money? I think it gets to a point where it’s just the principle of it, not even about having a budget.
Yeah it's just not wanting to spend money and see big numbers on the account, it's ironic living badly to save the resources that you could just use to live better lol like most people
Dude if I'm in the car with even my best friend, and he starts trying to haggle for a burger at Wendy's, I'm stepping out of the car, walking home, and never talking to him again. lol
employees will do anything to get a crazy person tf away from them, much easier for me to input a discount rather than listen to them bitch and moan over the price
this guy is a fake cheapskate. A real cheapskate wouldn't need to haggle on fast food, they'd make their own burgers. They wouldn't use their cars unless absolutely necessary, they could bike and save on gas. They'd buy cake mix and frosting for that anniversary cake (like $5 max) and a pack of balloons at Walmart. Make the cheese tray yourself and fold some paper towels for napkins. smh
This guy is cheap by choice and selectively lazy. He doesn't want to save time, particularly, because haggling takes time. He seems more concerned with saving physical effort. However, I'm certain he's just psychologically addicted to haggling.
You can even make your own cake pops. Bake a box cake. Crumble it and mix with frosting and form balls. Pop them on sticks and frost. People like this guy want to live beyond their means to appear better than others and make it the everyone else’s problem.
Pre-made cake pops are almost always over priced and used as an impulse buy type of thing. Never buy cake pops pre-made from a store if you want to save money.
People like this man are so rude. He's walking into business some of them independently run and trying to catch a deal. How does he not see that these people are trying to make a living too. It's just rude.
*He could have printed out pictures of them or something and taped them to the balloons. Like there's so much he could have actually done to still make it nicer than that.* 🤦♀️🙄
Fast food worker: “Alright sir your total comes out to $7.99.” Abdul: “How about we do $Free.99 instead?” Fast food worker: “Sir I’ll give you 9 bbq sauces to get out of my face” 🤣
These ppl try to save money on special events and they end up buying the things that no body even wants! I dont want balloons! I'm a grown ass woman, skip the balloons and flowers that are gonna die and end up in the trash anyway and actually get something useful!!! $25 could go towards food and drinks for a backyard cookout with all our friends! That would actually be a memorable and fun event. I'm not gonna remember the stupid balloons and flowers anyway 🤦♀️
I doubt you are going to forget "happy retirement" and "happy birthday" balloons on your anniversary. It will probably remain in your mind as one of those "wtf, this is embarrassing and annoying" moments that pop up at random in your mind even decades after the fact.
"Most husbands forget about anniversaries Abdul didn't, he remembered, he planned a party and he went through alot" GIRL! Your standards should not be this low regardless! Leave him!
Her standards? Seems like he's the one with the low standards. Anyone who tries to haggle the price at a thrift store where prices are already as low as they can get, isn't someone with any standards at all. He literally says he has the money, he just doesn't wanna spend it. On your wife, one day a year? He's a loser.
I wonder how much she has on his life insurance policy. I also think it's kind of sweet I can't even remember how long me in my husband have been dating let alone the anniversary date
Oh she a gold digger... I like a women that gets her own damn money and pays for her damn self.. If you out there spending my money then you deal with my cheapskate ways... if you dont like it then pay for it yourself but dont forget bills are coming at the end of the month and I have no problem letting shit get turned off because you didnt spend your money frugally because our economy is in a shit tank and the cost of living is higher now days and it isnt the 60's women wanted equal rights... you have the equal right to go bust your ass every day at work like your man otherwise you just complaining and want everything without the effort.
@@Flowhirls equal rights to make that choice. Choice to be a housewife/husband/spouse or a worker. So long as both parties are happy with the arrangement, all is fine. Also, just get with a frugal person. Break up with someone who's lifestyle doesn't complement or align with yours. Stop complaining about this theoretical woman you're not with.
this man coulda gone to walmart and bought a premade cake, got one of those little frosting pipe things from walmart, and wrote happy anniversary on it for $8
@@10feralratsinacoat76 No no I disagree with both theories. He doesn't avoid spending outright, he seems LOVE the thrill of haggling. I would bet he's one of those people who eats the whole meal, then tries to say there was something wrong with it and demands a refund.
3:30 As someone that had worked at a gas station for a few years you CAN NOT just change the price of gas for someone. 1. you are competing / comparing the prices of the surrounding area. 2. HR has to approve the change. 3. if you change it for one, either you are losing your job, or everyone else that comes in wants it cheaper. Also contrary to popular belief, gas stations do not make much off gas sales, its the candy, dinks, alcohol, and Tabaco that bring the money. So when we say we do not need you to get gas because you wanna be cheap or a ass hat about the price, we mean it. Gas station employees do not get paid to enough to deal with this shit.
My husband likes to claim he's cheap but when it comes to me he'd spend our entire savings on something I'd want without missing a beat. In the amount of time this dude haggles for that 30 cents he could be making more collecting bottles to recycle. This goes beyond cheap, he knows that it reflects badly on him and his wife but yet he still does it. I'm hoping that most of this was exaggerated for the show because as a business owner I'd likely 86 this dude from my store and ask him to not come back.
Imagine feeling less to someone, cause they care more about money then you. Saving money is great but you could of at least get her a card and fresh flowers. Without haggling. I'm sure she would appreciate that.
I worked in a jewellers for like 5 years and we had quite high profit margins on sales, so we could afford leeway on the price. I always refused to budge with people like this though. If you were a return customer I'd do my best to sort you out with a discount, but if you were a dude like this I wouldn't take a single penny off. I'd have people come in to buy a £20 watch and they would haggle with you over the price. Literally to the point were some people would even ask for 50p off... absolute madness. Then you wouldn't see them again. Then we had customers who'd spend 40k a year in the store and not once ask for a penny off. I absolutely detested people like Abdul. Another story- in my first month I had a guy come in and buy a watch for like £20. 4 years later same guy comes in complaining that his watch isn't working... I honestly couldn't believe he was serious. I nearly laughed in his face. The battery had died which is natural for cheap watches especially over that timeframe... guy REFUSED to pay for me to change the battery and sat and argued with me for nearly an hour about how it was our responsibility to cover the cost. Did he think batteries have an infinite lifespan? The cost for an in-store battery change was £10 and he sat and argued about not paying but was refusing to leave the store until his battery was changed. I had like 10 other customers waiting to be served so eventually I had to cave in and do it for him. I fixed it and just handed it to him with no charge and told him never to come back to the store again. Admittedly, it was slightly unprofessional on my part but I had so much more important work to do and I couldn't get rid of the guy. He threatened to complain about it on Facebook but nothing ever seemed to come of it... I looked up his account details on the computer and in 10 years the man had spent a grand total of £50. For comparison, one of the better customers had spent over a million in that same time period and never once asked for discount. Madness. Again, I didn't mind doing discount even if you weren't spending millions. Like, if a one off customer came in to spend a few hundred/thousand on a watch or jewellery for a special occasion I'd always work with them. Haggling over pennies is another level of insanity.
@@kourtneymelton1282 seriously.. the balloons were so dumb. like wtf? that was a complete waste of money. I know I would be totally happy if I just got some candy and a single rose. or just get some fast food or something. less than 25$ and less stupid. lol
Lighter - $1.50 2 Candles - $3 Cake mix - $1.50 Egg - .25 Oil - .30 Any steaks on sale - $5 each Asparagus - $3 Lemon juice - $1 Parmesan cheese - .50 Hell, throw some pasta in!

Same with the small town I went to ceilo in the Dominican republic. I went on a mission trip and when we went to the market they wanted to haggle, I'm not comfortable with doing that as a child or a small business owner lol
"I'm gonna give you a deal just so you'll leave me alone" is actually how most cheap people manage to get discounts, the seller isn't that desperate to make a sell, they just get worn down and in the end the time they waste with the haggler is worth more than the discount cause they could be doing more job in the meanwhile, and also just to make them leave they're like "fine, whatever" ughhhh I'm cringing so hard, if I was the friend there I would have run out of the first store already... bet he made him pay for gas since he drove him around? 😂
@@smmacktalk lol there is nothing wrong with the dollar store put appreciation to what he is doing that’s all he..... he didn’t need balloons..... he could have gotten a card from the dollar store that said happy anniversary not happy retirement lol for the same $1
His "haggling" is so disrespectful I cant stand it. The fact that he always has to have the last bid even if by a few cents. If I was at that cake shop and he tried to low ball me again by a cent after already dropping the price 50 cents I'd kick him out. Good lord. This is not how negotiations should work, this is just him being a bulldozer.
I’ve actually heard from a psychiatrist that this type of behavior is a form of abuse because he does it even tho he knows he’s humiliating those around him. I forget what type of abuse it is.
Has this guy heard of the dollar tree? Why try to haggle with local or small businesses? When the dollar store has everything you need for a party. He might have change left over.

My mom is extremely good at haggling when it comes to large purchases. She works in like the field of financial aid (just to set a spectrum she’s done a lot of different jobs involving that). Car dealerships dread her. We call her the “red pen” when we talk about our experiences buying cars with her there to help us not get scammed by car dealerships. This is because she literally brings a red pen and marks everything that is wrong and has them do it again. Ultimately she has saved us several thousand dollars over the last 2 decades.

I wouldn't care if there's cameras, I would sent that pseudo-man to hell!!! Like, dude, I have a business and employees to maintain, that's why everything has a certain cost, pay it entirely or leave!!
I think it's also cause he wears them out, at some point the time spent talking to him instead of doing their job costs more than just giving him the deal... but yeah, he's not being smart about it at all, if he went to the dollar store and made the cake himself (it's not that hard to buy a ready mix and just following the instructions so even if he doesn't know anything about cooking and baking he could have made it) he would have spent little as well without bothering so many people and making everyone cringe, probably would have saved up on gas as well going to one single store. I bet he made the friend pay for gas since he drove him around, even though he was there "to help" (did he do anything other than cringe though?)
@@0Onyx13 Yeah i can believe a lot of the stuff he gets 'deals' on is because the person is sick of him.
In smaller shops theres less staff to deal with him, i expect he has no problem holding up other people in the queue while he goes on and on. Most people probably end up doing it to get him out of the shop
I was hosting one night at a restaurant I worked at and a guy got mad at me because I told him he still owed .36 cents out of his meal. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but the register was under my name, so guess who gets in trouble if it’s short. ME! If I let everyone walk away without paying the odd cents, especially if it’s a large group that pays separately, that will add up and could easily be $15 to $20 short by the end of the shift.
Man, this guy is a piece of work. The prices listed aren't "suggestions" and aren't "negotiable". Props to that fast food worker for not folding like the rest of the people in this video. Having worked in retail as a cashier, when I see people like this I'm like "You got a coupon? No? Then the price ain't changing. We don't haggle or negotiate. You want to do that, go find a yard sale or something."

@@gobshyteguru2695 Pay full price and don't be cheap kid.
@@gobshyteguru2695 um.... why? Because the company sets the price and the employees have no power to change it usually?

Honestly, it's so much better to do nothing than to deliberately do something shitty for someone.

The wild thing is if he'd just done like an intimate, romantic home-cooked dinner instead of inviting a bunch of people over he probably could've done something actually passable for $25.
He could buy 2 nice steaks to cook, some veggies and potatoes for nice side dishes. He's not even trying
For $25 he could have gotten decorations, candles, and an anniversary card from the dollar tree, and cooked a nice pasta dinner with garlic bread and dessert. 🤷🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️😂. I honestly think he does this more for the attention than actually being a "cheapskate".

Don't go into a local/family owned business and haggle their prices - bakery, restaurant, store, whatever, it's so disrespectful. You could go to the Dollar Tree and buy a PACKAGE of plain balloons, and even occasion balloons, a box of cake mix, chips, dip, ice cream even sparkling cider. With money to spare. You could even use that extra money to go to Walmart for a plain basic cake for like $5. I know this is for the cameras but the baker caving is so upsetting🤦🏻♀️
Yup, it surprises me how you can get everything at the dollar tree for small parties
Probably thought it would be decent&free advertising.
exactly, like I hate how these people are always shown going into super expensive stores or privately owned businesses when there's stores like antique shops, dollar stores...they're made for a reason
He’s probably the reason why for inflation 😂
@@jackrabbit. I've never lived anywhere that I've been able to buy something 'cheap' at an antique store - they are selling old, high quality, often handcrafted items that aren't produced anymore. Where are these cheap antique stores?

Like Ken said, she Probably folded just because of the cameras. I guarantee if he was alone she'd show him where the door is
What are those cake pops? Those looked amazing lol
"Some husbands forget :)" has such "well at least he doesn't hit me" energy. I really hate this dude. She is far too patient with him. She deserves better
Why did he need to go with the “child’s birthday party” theme?? Just get a grocery store cake, grocery store wine, dollar store electric candles (so you can use them for more than one occasion), hand write a card, turn down the lights, put on some music, and pick some flowers on your way home. Bam, it’s much more romantic and also not expensive! Getting balloons that say “happy birthday” just draws attention to the fact that you’re not even trying.
He could even do all of that under $25 if he got the $5 cake from Walmart or Kroger’s. This is him truly being lazy, or the show wanted some more dramatics. Either way, I would’ve left this dude so fast.

Fr can even make it cheaper by getting plain balloons and writing happy anniversary or just a heart on them. Idk why all these "cheapskates" shop at pricier places, just makes the show seem more fake imo.
He’s got his own business. So he obviously has to PAY taxes to the IRS every year. So you think he tries to haggle with the IRS?
IRS: “you gotta pay us 4500”
Abdul: “what about 300?”
IRS: “how about you pay us before we take you to jail?!”
Abdul: “500 and we have a deal!”
Im SURE he's thoroughly researched every possible deduction & drives his tax person crazy.

Any man that goes with a women and she buys $300-400 worth of clothes and accessories cannot be a cheapskate. Help her find $50-100 worth of clothes at a thrift store or garage sale then take the rest of that and spend on your anniversary. You can't haggle for change at a fast food restaurant and then spend hundreds on clothes.

As someone that had worked at a gas station for a few years you CAN NOT just change the price of gas for someone.
1. you are competing / comparing the prices of the surrounding area.
2. HR has to approve the change.
3. if you change it for one, either you are losing your job, or everyone else that comes in wants it cheaper.
Also contrary to popular belief, gas stations do not make much off gas sales, its the candy, dinks, alcohol, and Tabaco that bring the money. So when we say we do not need you to get gas because you wanna be cheap or a ass hat about the price, we mean it. Gas station employees do not get paid to enough to deal with this shit.
My husband likes to claim he's cheap but when it comes to me he'd spend our entire savings on something I'd want without missing a beat. In the amount of time this dude haggles for that 30 cents he could be making more collecting bottles to recycle. This goes beyond cheap, he knows that it reflects badly on him and his wife but yet he still does it. I'm hoping that most of this was exaggerated for the show because as a business owner I'd likely 86 this dude from my store and ask him to not come back.
Imagine feeling less to someone, cause they care more about money then you. Saving money is great but you could of at least get her a card and fresh flowers. Without haggling. I'm sure she would appreciate that.
I worked in a jewellers for like 5 years and we had quite high profit margins on sales, so we could afford leeway on the price. I always refused to budge with people like this though. If you were a return customer I'd do my best to sort you out with a discount, but if you were a dude like this I wouldn't take a single penny off. I'd have people come in to buy a £20 watch and they would haggle with you over the price. Literally to the point were some people would even ask for 50p off... absolute madness. Then you wouldn't see them again. Then we had customers who'd spend 40k a year in the store and not once ask for a penny off. I absolutely detested people like Abdul. Another story- in my first month I had a guy come in and buy a watch for like £20. 4 years later same guy comes in complaining that his watch isn't working... I honestly couldn't believe he was serious. I nearly laughed in his face. The battery had died which is natural for cheap watches especially over that timeframe... guy REFUSED to pay for me to change the battery and sat and argued with me for nearly an hour about how it was our responsibility to cover the cost. Did he think batteries have an infinite lifespan? The cost for an in-store battery change was £10 and he sat and argued about not paying but was refusing to leave the store until his battery was changed. I had like 10 other customers waiting to be served so eventually I had to cave in and do it for him. I fixed it and just handed it to him with no charge and told him never to come back to the store again. Admittedly, it was slightly unprofessional on my part but I had so much more important work to do and I couldn't get rid of the guy. He threatened to complain about it on Facebook but nothing ever seemed to come of it... I looked up his account details on the computer and in 10 years the man had spent a grand total of £50. For comparison, one of the better customers had spent over a million in that same time period and never once asked for discount. Madness. Again, I didn't mind doing discount even if you weren't spending millions. Like, if a one off customer came in to spend a few hundred/thousand on a watch or jewellery for a special occasion I'd always work with them. Haggling over pennies is another level of insanity.
kens smile is so precious
Him and his wife got divorced after the show 💀 and I don’t blame her
Yeah I remember this. I bet she's much happier. Hopefully with a husband who actually does something nice for her for their anniversary.
He probably tried to haggle with the lawyers with the cost of the divorce.
Did he ask his lawyer for a discount 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kourtneymelton1282 seriously.. the balloons were so dumb. like wtf? that was a complete waste of money. I know I would be totally happy if I just got some candy and a single rose. or just get some fast food or something. less than 25$ and less stupid. lol
Did they?

Hell, throw some pasta in! You got another $8.90 leftover to buy her a gift basket for her favorite bath soaps! It can be done! 5 & below and the dollar store!
You got 2 hours to prep work.
Would make a marvelous evening.
This guy is an idiot.
These people would love Guatemala. You haggle prices for everything and can even trade items in place of cash for other things.
Man I love gutemala but I’ll never forget when a dude tried to sell me something worth 40 consallas, for 40 dollars
@@samuelsmith5400 tried to hustle you my guy! Glad you caught on!
@@samuelsmith5400 Their money isn’t Quetzales anymore?
Same with the small town I went to ceilo in the Dominican republic. I went on a mission trip and when we went to the market they wanted to haggle, I'm not comfortable with doing that as a child or a small business owner lol
Looking at the guy he'd get so fired up, he'd trade his wife and won't notice
Should have just had a pot luck/dinner party. His and her "friends" could have just brought the food themselves and he could have saved money
He probably would have told them to pay him to bring their own food
"I'm gonna give you a deal just so you'll leave me alone" is actually how most cheap people manage to get discounts, the seller isn't that desperate to make a sell, they just get worn down and in the end the time they waste with the haggler is worth more than the discount cause they could be doing more job in the meanwhile, and also just to make them leave they're like "fine, whatever" ughhhh I'm cringing so hard, if I was the friend there I would have run out of the first store already... bet he made him pay for gas since he drove him around? 😂
He said a lot of husbands don’t remember their anniversary...... I rather you not remember than doing all this haggling! SMH
Cool you’re materialistic then 😂 buddy just needs to learn about the dollar store
@@smmacktalk lol there is nothing wrong with the dollar store put appreciation to what he is doing that’s all he..... he didn’t need balloons..... he could have gotten a card from the dollar store that said happy anniversary not happy retirement lol for the same $1
I wonder how open he is to the idea of all his customers haggling for his hotdogs
His "haggling" is so disrespectful I cant stand it. The fact that he always has to have the last bid even if by a few cents. If I was at that cake shop and he tried to low ball me again by a cent after already dropping the price 50 cents I'd kick him out. Good lord. This is not how negotiations should work, this is just him being a bulldozer.
Buff: he's probably gonna get some wine, right?
Me: maybe some grape juice... diluted.
Like that mom who cut the family's juice with water! 🤣
How on earth did she even marry him? 🤯 The second hand embarrassment is killing me 😳
I’ve actually heard from a psychiatrist that this type of behavior is a form of abuse because he does it even tho he knows he’s humiliating those around him. I forget what type of abuse it is.
Has this guy heard of the dollar tree? Why try to haggle with local or small businesses? When the dollar store has everything you need for a party. He might have change left over.
*Okay first of all, those are not cake pops. Those are little parfait things. And second of all, they look freakin delicious!!* 😂😂🤷♀️🤷♀️
Yes! Thank you! He got more than a cake pop for a dollar tho! That's a great deal!
they really did though im about to hit up a cake store for leftover ingredients😂
Lol you ain't wrong,
No wonder the baker is like the left overs still fresh wth
Did he just pay 99 cents for all of them or was it 99 cents per unit?
I’m shocked!
@@crisnergutierrez9191 I .....THINK per cake thing ?
I'm not sure
Either way the only thing that he bought that was cool were the cake things
Edit: and they still themed kinda weirdly thrown in there for a wedding anniversary
My mom is extremely good at haggling when it comes to large purchases. She works in like the field of financial aid (just to set a spectrum she’s done a lot of different jobs involving that). Car dealerships dread her. We call her the “red pen” when we talk about our experiences buying cars with her there to help us not get scammed by car dealerships. This is because she literally brings a red pen and marks everything that is wrong and has them do it again. Ultimately she has saved us several thousand dollars over the last 2 decades.
"Let's leave that for the Nintendo" hahaha premium joke
According to what I looked up they did actually get divorced after this disastrous party, can’t say I’m surprised but it’s still kinda sad :/
That actually makes me happy to know .
As I'm not even to the end of the video yet this video was so cringe
@@ViktorErikFade same I was screaming run for the hills for like 90% of this video
@@SallySue9725 ikr,
People that don't want to put on the effort for a personal event like that
Kinda red flag territory
@@ViktorErikFade oh heck ya! I mean I totally agree that it’s the thought that counts but come on Abdul you were not thinking about her when you did everything for the party you were thinking about haggling and saving money
@@SallySue9725 the man literally got *every* other holiday except anniversary up in there 😂🤣
Guess he was right on getting a "sale" balloon though because she was sold on a ticket out of that relationship
I used to work in a meat packing plant a long time ago. When we packed sliced ham, the lunch meat, they literally just change the top film on the machine which has the brand names. So... the stuff either cost around 7 bucks a pack or 3 depending on the brand. Same stuff.
There are certain things you can haggle; a car, a house, at a garage sale, and maybe your hot dog supplier
Not a freakin cake shop! She was so polite and friendly that entire time and he kept insulting her craft by asking for 'leftover scrap' as if she'd gather up crumbs and slap some butter on top
