Please DO NOT haggle in Mexico.
No, it isn't commonly done. And it can be a bit insulting to the artisan. If you think something is too expensive, don't purchase it. But remember that all artisans in Mexico selling their goods don't usually bring home large amounts of money... this is their livelihood
So despite what you may have heard, haggling is not normal. And you should really not do it. Unless the artisan offers you a better price because he/she really needs your business.
This also applies to the people selling gelatinas, cookies or other goods on the streets. Again, it is not common to haggle down the prices of their goods.
