Comparative shopping

I do my best to compative shop before making purchases; there are a number of sites out there that help you do this…from CNET to Google Shopping. My preference in the past has been PriceGrabber, which shows you how much several different online sites are selling a particular item for, and where you can get it the cheapest.

Recently, I found another site that promises to go one step further by showing you how much an item sold for in recent months (that way you can see if the price is falling, staying the same, or even goin up, which I imagine happens near the holidays). It’s called Mpire. I’m not a big fan of of how it helps you comparative shop, but I do like the graphs (who isn’t a sucker for graphs?)
