My most used trick is to wait a couple of months and then ask for some thing, example I just bought a bear recurved, she will ask how much it cost and I to use the "it last years model or it on sale" so I said $200, she said OK and we went down and bought it. While at the shop I was asked if I needed a glove. I said yea, need arrows to I said yea, need a quiver, you guessed it I said yea, need a piece of seal for the rest yep. need a string save, bush buttons, beaver balls, bow stringer. yep,yep,yep and yep, oh yeah lets make it a dozen arrows. So then the total ends up being $436 and she looks at me and I tell her the bow was only $200 but if I don't get the rest of this the bows no good and wont work. She says Kay and I don't try anything for another couple of months.
My second favorite may not be suitable for all, Iam fortunate that the local pro shop(fly fishing/bow), is located in the same building as a flower shop and when I by something the billing statement say the flower shops name on it so I go in and buy couple flies or what have ya, and grab a rose or a card for her. The only thing is she thinks a rose costs $10 each. Also a couple weeks a go she got a billing statement with the flower shop on it and asked what I bought I had forgot all about it and I had already had approval for my purchase. so I was standing in the kitchen looking guilty as hell because I couldn't remember buying any thing there. So I told her the fly shops machine was down and thats why.
And as a last resort I just purchase or go where I want. then I come home take my licks and walk around the house like a beat dog for a week and due it all over again. FYI this to may not be safe for all to try.
