Shopping is an art form in Bali, and unless there are set prices half the fun is the negotiating. Try not to accept the first price that you are given as it is normal to bargain in Bali, unless the product is price-tagged. Although tempting, try not to make any major purchases for the first few days. Look around, take your time, bargain and then buy at the right price.
