Back in 2000 coroporate Radioshacks had 10% off everything except computers.
McDonalds gives 50% off.
Small pizza places give stuff free, just have to make it yourself.

I assume you mean from like tirerack? hrm, good to know though, especially if I go to a good year store, I'll befriend the employee.
Huh? I just said that it is cheaper to buy online than it is to get employee price and use coupons and junk. Trying to become friends with an employee is just gonna annoy them.
I reckon I should add I gets discounts from a bunch of other places.
20% of my verizon bill ,, similar from other providers.
Discounts from the big 3.
Discounts from Dell and probably a lotta other places. They never tell us what we have discounts with, we have to ask the manager to look it up. Goodyear is the suck.

Now that you mention banks, I guess i'll mention mine. As a CIBC family employee (everyone practically in my family has a job conneciton to CIBC) I get approved for a line of credit faster, interest free loans for mid level purchases such as appliances or laptops/televisions.

My company just subscribes each employee to www.corporateperks.com. Meaning I basically have tons of companies fighting to give me better deals on things, and discounts anywhere and everywhere. I'm pricing out smartphones right now and think I'm going to go with the T-Mobile MDA or SDA - both are $75 cash back after rebates (plus a free Bluetooth headset). I'll use the spare money toward the phone I really want to get - a USA-spec Nokia 9300i (not available through a provider yet).

Now it's 10% off brand name, and 30% off RadioShack branded products (and a few others like Igo)
BestBuy is 5% over cost here in their Sherman, TX store for most people. New people are 10% over cost. They by far have the best employee discount I have seen.

Walmart - 10% off all products, and special pricing on Ford cars. for example I can get X plan on a mustang, but S plan on a mazda 6. So it matters on the car.

Just FYI, these are exactly the same thing. Mazda just calls theirs something different than Ford.

i think the idea here is to put what kind of price you are paying, not just write down what you can get discounted....or are people supposed to PM people for detailed info?
Good info so far guys, but please try to organize it a little bit more and just list the dollar or percentage value. Be very straight forward with it, once I've collected everything, I'm going to reorganize it and have it stickied if possible.

I'm not sure what the exact purpose of this thread is, but I'll go ahead and post here anyway. I'm getting close to buying a computer monitor, and perhaps a DLP HDTV. Is there anyone here who can help me out with a discount? I've been looking at Best Buy stuff, I've found a few things I'd be interested in there. So, I'm not sure how this thread works, but a hookup would be greatly appreciated!
