A lot of
businesses and stores will offer
discount pricing on items, especially if you order large amounts at the same time. Also,
clients with potentially large orders in the
future often get special discounts.
You can take advantage of this too, if you want. If you can convince a manager that you are interested in evaluating a product, and that you are part of a purchasing / evaluation group for a company, you'll often get things for free or for very low prices.
