for the best price? or do you just see what you want & buy it? If I'm at home, I will research the price for what I want online but if I'm out in a shopping center, I will check the prices at a few shops & buy nwhat I want from the shop that sells the item cheaper...sometimes it does take a little time to do this but it's all good if I can save a few bucks...
What about you?

Which online shopping sites do you use? Please no links or ref links, just names as I don't want this discussion deleted.

I rarely check the price.I usually shop at vintage stores and secondhand shops.what I consider when shopping is the quality.I would like to get clothes that are unique,worth the price,and has great quality.I look around different stores first before deciding which items to buy.

I love shopping at second hand/op-shops too...but when it comes to more expensive items, I have found that it pays to shop around.

I have a hard time shopping around off line because of transportation and mobilitiy issues, so if I want to find something inexpensive I'll look for it on line and order it, or figure out where in advance I can get it locally, and then I will just go to the cheapest place first.

Maybe I should look into doing that too - one of my friends is legally blind & i used to help her shop when we lived & worked together..by help I just mean drive her to the shops...You definately have it sorted & maybe your way of doing it would help me coz then I wouldn't be dragging my 2.5 year old daughter from shop to shop

Hi moonchild.
Well, I like window shopping.
I will go to shopping complex and make a survey for the price of the products that I want to buy.
Normally I like to look the price for the cell phone, laptop, and other gadgets.
For the groceries and goods that I need at home I will look first at the price catalog.
I think its safe more time than search one by one and compare.

I do the same thing when I have the time...but when it comes to groceries, I usually only shop at the one store so I just look for the specials of the products I want & most of the time i don't worry about the brand name

Hi Moonchild,
Like you, I try to check on the price of an item from different stores first before actually buying. I'd schedule a visit to the malls and get the best price, specially if it's a major purchase like appliances or expensive gadgets for my kids. However small the savings is, it is still money that can be used to buy other things so I don't mind the extra effort.

I agree, the savings are better off in our pockets rather than the stores...sometimes it's a pain to shop around but well worth it.
