haggler

Seeks better deals

A haggler is someone who negotiates persistently over price or terms, typically trying to get a better deal.

The word carries a mildly negative connotation—suggesting someone tedious or penny-pinching rather than admirably thrifty: The vendor sighed when she saw the haggler approaching her stall again.
