COMPARISON SHOPPING IS THE WAY TO GO

mousiegirl · ‎03-09-2010

I think most of us comparison shop. I recently bought an item at TJ Max for $24.99. It is offered today at zulily for $44.99, stating that it sells for $96 elsewhere, that I can't believe because it is nowhere near worth $96.00. So though zulily is marked down, it obviously isn't everything, or zulily is buying from the wrong companies paying more than necessary, at least on some items.

Yes, buyer beware. I have seen a pair of Totes waterproof boots on line for $56. I got lucky and at Marshall's the same boots were $25. Fortunately, they had my size so I'm a happy camper. It does pay to shop around and not be "desperate" for a particular item. I'm currently waiting for a Baggallini crossbody that was cheaper on their website than anywhere else including Amazon.

Really hard to beat prices of TJX stores. My go-to for most everything.

The best thing I've found is to not be too anxious to get anything. Seems the longer I wait, the more I see of something or similar things, and the more choices there really are out there. I get time to price shop, and I get time to 'tire' of it, which lets me know I really didn't need or want it in the first place! Saves money in more ways than one.

@Mominohio You are so right about not being too anxious and when I stay calm I find out sometimes an item is a "want" and not a "need" and find something better if it is meant to belong to me.

A lot of the fun is in the pursuit of a good deal anyway. But every once in a while I have jumped on something because I was certain it was a unique purchase that I won't be able to find at a particular price point or because it truly is a "one of a kind" item.

Your, mine, and a lot of peoples go to store......they recently released their 3rd quarter results which were excellent....Those that say B&M stores are a thing of the past need to talk to TJ' companies CEO
