Bargaining
Bargaining is the way to cheap deals. In many countries it's mostly frowned upon, but even in a place like Amsterdam there are many situations where bargaining can work.
Open air markets are a good bet.
When no price is indicated, as is common in the Middle East, you're usually supposed to bargain.
