Best Sites for Online Comparison Shopping

Don't you just hate it when you go to a store to buy something, then a couple days later find out that you could have bought the same thing at another store close by a lot cheaper? I know I do, that's why now when I get ready to buy a certain present or just a gift for myself, I always go on the Internet to compare the prices at different stores! I have gathered a list of top sites for Comparison Shopping. I hope this helps you as much as it does me!

BizRate

http://www.bizrate.com/

This is probably the site I use the most when comparing prices. Over one million shoppers visit the BizRate page a day! You can shop by department that ranges from babies and kids, electronics, furniture, toys and much more. If you have a specific item you are looking to buy then you can use there search engine to find that perfect present. When using the search engine, after u type in what you would like to see, you will be brought to a page that gives you a list of all the stores and its price at that store. When you have decided on which store you would like to get your product from then there is a link on the page that will take you directly to the store you chose to learn more about your product. This site offers a rating and reviews of all products, also you can see what are the most popular products being searched right now in a certain city. All you have to do to sign up for this site to get the newsletter, to rate and review products and stores, and to receive messages is simply to fill in a very short registration page.

PriceGrabber

http://www.pricegrabber.com

Here is another great site for comparing product prices. Like BizRate you will find a variety of categories to choose from or you could use the search engine for a specific product. You can see what the highest rated products are and the most shopped for products. To sign up for this site all you have to have is a user name, password, and e-mail address. The benefits of signing up for this site is you get to save your product lists, which means if your in a hurry but you think of something that you want to buy and you don't want to forget it, just click on the product and save it, then you can compare the prices when you have more time. Another feature they have to offer is to sell your product. If your a merchant then you can list your product on PriceGrabber. This site has over 26 million visitors a month!! A perfect opportunity to get your products sold!! A few other services you might like that this site offers is merchant coupons, which is coupons from a variety of stores that you can claim, rebates, and shop green.

YAHOO! Shopping

http://www.shopping.yahoo.com/

This is a great site to check out especially if you already have a yahoo account then there is no registration form for you to do! As always you will find the search engine and a variety of categories to choose from for any product you are looking for which includes the green center for all of your Eco friendly needs. If you find something that you have been wanting and you don't want to forget it (again!) then you can save it on a wish list! You can also save that great product that you just bought on a pick list, which is where others can look and see what you reviewed or you can go into the shoposphere and see what others have said about their products. Some other features this site has are the coupons (who doesn't love coupons!) from different merchants, a deal of the day, and of course ratings and reviews.

NexTag

http://www.nextag.com/

This site is a little different from the others. It still has all the great variety of categories along with the search engine. After you enter your search you can narrow it by store, price, and brand. Then save it to your list! You can see what the product spotlight is and the popular searches. Another great feature of this site is the saved search information. This is great for those forgetful people like me who cant remember what they searched for ten minutes before! What makes this site different from the others is you can compare travel rates, mortgage loans, degrees, and home prices! No more using the phone book and calling a lot of different places to find the best price!
