The survey of 3,000 people in Britain, commissioned by the discount Web site promocodes.co.uk, indicates on average, the women say they save nearly almost 150 pounds, or $250, a year by flirting with store staff until they get a discount.

Women also admit they get embarrassed if they get flatly turned down by a sales person. However, the survey indicates men save more money by offering to pay for things in cash and haggling to get a better deal. The survey indicates Britons save about 18.82 pounds a month, or $30, by using vouchers and discount codes, while about they say they save about 17.91 pounds a month, or $29, by haggling and 11.38 pounds, or about $18 a month by flirting.

Especially in the current economic climate," Alex Attinger of promocodes.co.uk says in a statement. "But maybe women should stick to getting promotional codes online instead of flirting if they are shopping with their other half." No survey details were provided.
