With the UK set to see a VAT rise, consumer website teams up with training specialist Pareto to help shoppers.

SURREY, ENGLAND, August 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dedicated retail deals website DiscountVouchers.co.uk has partnered with one of the best-known training companies in the UK, Pareto, to help UK shoppers enjoy tips and hints on negotiating the best value deals when shopping both on and offline.

The booklet, which is named 'Top 10 Tips - How to Bag a Bargain', is available for download from the DiscountVouchers.co.uk website and is designed to teach people how to get the best value in retail by negotiating and haggling the best deals for them on things like cars, holidays or homeware.

Simon Terry, managing director of DiscountVouchers.co.uk, says: "The UK is set to see a rise in VAT which will hurt family budgets in the new year, so it's a good time to learn some new negotiating skills which can help people to save money on all kinds of things".

"It's not that common a practice in the UK but people are learning how to get better at it as they go along, knowing that they can make their household budgets stretch that bit further. Our new guide with Pareto can teach people to negotiate better with new bargaining skills."

Pareto's Top Tips feature -

*Do your research
Read up on the latest tips and hints to gather knowledge for haggling. Investigate the genuine price you should pay for something as well as alternative solutions. Research other suppliers as well, and when you are bargaining be sure that the supplier knows that you have done your research.

*Negotiation isn't just about price
The seller or shop assistant themselves may not be qualified to discount an item for you, but they might be able to offer you different things. Always ask if you can have some extra items or additional accessories rather than some money off. You could find you get something you use as a present for a friend or loved one.

*Don't be pressured into accepting the deal
Sometimes sellers or sales assistants can pressure a shopper into doing something they probably don't want to do, so look out for the pressuring tactics. Do not be forced into accepting something that you don't want, remember that it's your money and bargain for a deal or some extras.

DiscountVouchers.co.uk features money saving offers from both major high street brands and specialist retailers, including stores such as Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Travelodge, First Choice, Lastminute.com and Boden.
