选项 A、bargains
B、pricings
C、sales
D、promotions
答案 A
解析 名词辨义。联系上下文，本句意为“旅游业受到冲击，小贩和旅店老板都愿意协商价格，他们到处都能以便宜的价格买到好货”。A)bargains意为“特价商品”，表示这对夫妇利用旅游业低迷时期，靠讨价还价花很少的钱买到好东西，符合题意，故为答案。C)sales意为“销售额”，不符合题意，排除；B)pricings意为“定价；标价”，D)promotions意为“促销(活动)”，结合下文，他们能这样做的原因是“小贩和旅店老板都愿意接受砍价”，可知一开始的标价并不是很低，小贩和旅店也没有在做促销，故均排除。
