Let These Sites Find the Best Deal for You

If you’re shopping for a particular item, you might want to try a price comparison site prior to making your purchase. Although these sites are geared toward online purchases, you can also use the sites to help you understand what the going rate is prior to shopping at a brick-and-mortar store.

I recently used Shopzilla to find the best deal on an all-in-one printer. I found the best deal on the Amazon Marketplace (an individual seller listing products on Amazon). The price (including tax and shipping fees) was the lowest compared to many other online retailers. I was especially pleased with the shipping time — I received the printer at my door within 2 days of my order!

Smart Money has a good article (http://www.smartmoney.com/spending/deals/which-comparison-shopping-site-is-best/) comparing a number of price comparison sites. Shopzilla didn’t rate as well as I would have expected, but my experience with the site was positive.  I haven’t tried other price comparison sites, but I definitely will going forward. It beats searching through all the major shopping sites myself to find the best price!

If you have had good luck (or bad luck) with any of the pricing comparison sites, leave a comment below and let us know what your experience was.
