Shopping is good because of the fixed prices in recent years. However, there are also smaller shops that offer you things at prices that need to be bargained, do not give whatever price they ask.
Just like the street vendors, they may ask for too much so you have to bargain. You should bring them down as low as 25% of the asking price, but to settle at 35 to 40 % of what they ask is considered good. The things you can in Bali include: clothing and textiles, leather goods, swim wear, summer wear, jewelry from sea shells and silver with stones, local fabrics and sarongs, artworks, woodcarvings and handicrafts.
