You should tip on the prices BEFORE the discount... so let's for instance that the total cost was going to be $100 -- tip off of $100... your friend will thing you're very generous, and will continue to hook you up.Enjoy!xoxox

Tip her $5.00.What does she make? Keep that in mind. If she makes close to minimum wage then give her a good tip at least.
