Tips for Comparison Shopping
The best way to get good prices is to shop around. Before you leave
for the store, find out what the price should be for the items you
want. You can do this by checking several of the better online
merchants. I suggest checking Amazon.com
and
Buy.Com
as a good place to start, whether you are looking for Books,
CD's, Software, Electronics, Audio/Visual, Clothing, and even Gourmet
Food. Type in a description of the item in the search on the main
page, select a category, and note the price. Then go to the local
stores armed with the knowledge that will keep you from paying too
much. If the price is too high, go home and order online. Keep in
mind that you may have to pay shipping to oder online, but for many
items on these sites, if the total amount of your order is over a
certain threshold, the shipping may be free.
