Do you compare prices before you buy something ?

I always do since almost ALL stores have a "Lowest Price" policy.
So I take advantage out of it.
Let me explain :
I recently purchased a laptop.
FutureShop was selling it for $699
Staples was selling it for $799
I went to Staples and told them FutureShop was selling the same laptop for $100 less.
After they verified, they agree to sell me the laptop at $699 + 10% of the difference according to their Lowest Price policy.
Result : I got the laptop for $689 !
Many of you could say : $10... that's nothing...
I would answer them : $10 less for them is $10 more for me.
Then, with the $10, I bought a mouse for my laptop.
Conclusion:
I got a laptop + a mouse for the price of a laptop only.
Not bad huh ?
Do you have similar situations where you saved money this way ?

I always shop around before I make a final purchase. I had the same situation when buying my laptop. I found the one I wanted for £700, but after shopping around a bit, found one with a better spec, for £600. I always check prices online before going into the shops too.
