Abdul Is the Ultimate Haggler | Extreme Cheapskates

[Music] my name is abdul and i am an extreme cheapskate i love being cheap because i like the zeros in my bank account i basically run a successful business i have a mobile food business with the hot dog carts this is my trusty friend here mr weiner when i pull out my wiener that's when the magic happens everybody wants to take a picture everyone's going bananas over this thing so if i'm a little slow i pull my wiener out and there he goes my husband would haggle anything anything and everything whether it's his necessity or something that i may want or he just wants he haggles anything if you can make that right there 343 in the tank oh man i don't know if we can do that i mean 350. 350 okay we gotta do it all right man take care so embarrassing let me get uh two bigger burgers and uh two chocolate shakes please eleven sixty four i'm fresh the window thank you hi there your total is eleven sixty four eleven sixty four correct let's just how about i just get rid of the 64 let's just make it 11 even did you want to take off a shake or a burger or no no let's keep everything on okay well um yep it would be 11.64 then let's just take 50 cent off and let's just call it 11 50. 50 cents how about i throw in some extra ketchup and salt packets in your bag how about that my god i am never taking you out anywhere ever again when it comes to haggling i would say i have a probably a 85 success rate when abdul haggles i think to myself this is one more store that yet again i cannot go on you can't go in those stores again right here don't always look at the price tag 25 is a lot more bad just stop doing this every time we go somewhere you have to do this this is why i leave you at home let me just see how much we have so far 135. don't embarrass me all right all right you ready to be running off yep we are um excuse me just want to talk to you a little bit about the prices so you know let me just go one by one here um do we have any wiggle room with this uh this jacket here you know we do try to price her things at a really good price but what i could do is give you a ten dollar bob how about another five dollars off of each item um because you are new i will do twenty percent off so that's so we're doing the ten dollars off of each item no i'll do a straight twenty percent that brings it down to 327. so we we started at what four four twenty two four twenty two three twenty seven okay thanks a lot cat so it's not that i don't have money it's just that i don't want to spend it all [Music] it's my 10-year anniversary it's coming up and i want to do something special for my wife but i really don't want to spend a lot of money so i gave myself a budget of 25. so i bring my good friend rick along he wants to put this anniversary together for under 25 i'm like you're crazy there's no way you're going to be able to do this i know what stuff cost it's not gonna happen i don't think he can do it i know i could do it 25 it's not gonna be a very good one it's gonna be a great party for 25 i guarantee we can pull this off rick really has never shot with me so he never knew how i haggle or knew that i haggle at all so i'm sure rick is gonna be surprised today so one of my stops is the party store i have a strategy when i go in the store you know when you get some stuff that's like out of season okay you probably get a better deal to me balloons or balloons so the guy had some discounted balloons it's the thought that counts ten to twelve dollars ten to twelve dollars i i can check and see if i've got any clearance balloons i've got a couple laying around i can see if i've got something clearance oh look at here see gary that's an anniversary sale hey that's a good one sure your wife's gonna like that though no that's fine they're colorful they do the job that price right there is just a little bit too too too high for me there uh do you have any any other options that may not be as costly as that one i'm just totally embarrassed we're up there at the counter and it's this balloon is 2.99 and he keeps haggling this guy down and you fill it up with helium right is that what you do okay what if we did like three-fourths of helium well then it's probably not gonna float um so air is cheaper than helium air is cheaper than helium okay now if we we did all air in the balloons what are we looking at you'd probably knock a couple dollars off maybe make it seven or eight dollars if you do something a little simpler yeah something with air is it oxygen free we breathe oxygen every day but i have to pay this guy for his oxygen no i'll use my own oxygen i'm gonna take these flat like this uh do you have any more discontinued or is this this oh i had i had one more but it's just a police car it looks like oh no that's cool it doesn't it doesn't say an anniversary you don't want no police cars on there do you it's all about laughter man i'm sure this right here will strike a few laughs let's throw that in there 3.75 cents we got a deal on that uh i can't do that i just give you a heck of a deal on those two dollars and 25 cents we got a deal gary come on gary how about 250. gary if you go to fifth we can go 225. we got 270 we got 250. 245 let's beat the middle 245 245 we see all kinds of customers coming in the door but i can't say is i've ever seen anybody that's been that cheap so i walk into the store very confident thinking i'm gonna get this cake for my wife i don't know exactly how i'm gonna do it i need a cake maid okay today uh having an anniversary party for my wife about six people okay we have our 10 inch round it serves between 10 and 15. um and that's 29.99 whoa i'm kind of on a budget here okay you know and i'm not trying to assault your business or anything but is there anything i could do to probably make that a little bit less than the 29.99 what if you were to take that frosting off but what the cake what would it be just a bare cake the frosting is all included in that price so it's kind of like buying a car without the wheels yeah what i'm trying to do is cut this costs out a lot more what is your budget what are you looking to spend 25 25 okay um let's see we do have that's for the whole party the whole party like let's see and i know this is strange what if i were to bring some of my own ingredients there's health code in that you can't we have to purchase everything so i'm throwing all kinds of options into this lady and just nothing's working somehow we need to make this cake seven dollars okay um i don't know that we can do that it's a 10 inch round cake can we make it at 7 inches we if that's really a size we don't do okay so how about this at the end of the day i'm sure you guys don't use all your materials with your flour and things like that and i'm not picky so what if you use some of the leftover ingredients and put that in the cake you're killing me here hey we do have another option we have cake pops cake pop what what does it look like what is a cake it's layered cake frosting cake those are 1.50 piece so you could get six of them frosting sprinkles you're gonna get everything that a cake would have is that made with leftover ingredients yes okay could we get that to about 75 cents but we're talking leftover ingredients here oh they're fresh you're going to throw them away anyway 85 cents a dollar fifty okay 95 cents we got to do i i have to stick with a dollar 98 cents how about 99 cents 99 cents got a deal perfect i'll go get those for you all right it's still cake i mean it's unique everybody can have their own individual cake pop so i think i came out better than the cake so i left the store with eight cake pops [Music] i appreciate my wife you know most husbands don't even remember their anniversary all these balloons this is a lot of love right here i'll tell you [Music] oh gotta stay up for at least two three hours [Music] well the napkins say sixteen but i'm sure we're gonna make it to 16 years of blissful marriage so hey so my guests arrive at this party and they walk in and their first reaction is okay i was a little bit surprised when i came in it was definitely different than what rick would have done you can't do a party like this for 25 hopefully sean is happy [Music] why are the balloons kind of hanging from everywhere that's an interesting story here's the deal with that they have a shortage on helium so each one of those balloons hide blue you know this might not be the way i would have did it for my wife but it worked out my wife was a little surprised at first but she settled in and i could tell that she knew that i really loved her and it's the thought that counts in the end abdul is a cheapskate but i mean most husbands forget anniversaries abdul did he remembered it he planned a party he went through a lot of work to get everything all put together 10 years yes 10 years
