We all try to save a few extra bucks where we can. But there are some things your family could be getting a better deal on.

That's right--there are several items we regularly pay full price for that we shouldn't. Of course there are coupons for everything from groceries to clothes, but we found some bargain busters that don't require any clipping.

Home improvement stores often price match, and that rarely talked about savings secret could save hundreds off your next remodel or landscaping project.

Home Depot employees and managers are allowed to take between $50 and $1,000 off your tab, depending on what you're buying. Just ask for it. It's almost like a negotiation.

The cost of doctor and dentist visits can be enough to make your family sick. But if you're willing to pay out of pocket instead of filing a claim, some offices will take 10 to 50 percent off the bill.

Shopping for glasses just got easier and cheaper. Websites like EyeBuyDirect.com offer eye-popping discounts on specs.

And forget hitting every store in town to find the best deals on a 12-pack. SaveOnBrew.com has done the leg work for us. Just put in your address and the site will show the beer bargains in your neighborhood

That's just the start.

More Things To Never Pay Full Price:

* Health & Beauty Products - Between coupons printed from the register at drugstores and online and ad coupons, we can save on all our personal care items.

* Groceries - Store specials,rebates and coupons make it easy to slash our grocery bills.

* Restaurants - There are so many websites out there offering deals like $25 in food for $10, there's no reason to pay full price at a restaurant again

* Clothes & Shoes - Online deals and discounts are everywhere so take advantage.

* Books & Music - Shop used at amazon.com or half.com. Even better, borrow from the library for free!

* Cell Phones - Before getting inline for the next new phone, check with your provider to see when you're eligible for an upgrade that's typically not full price.

* Insurance - Bundle car and home policies for a discount and don't be afraid to haggle a cheaper price on those premiums.

* Vacations - Websites like cheapflights.com and Priceline allow us to search for bargain basement getaways.
