Internet Shopping

Before you buy anything on the internet, have a look for it first on Pricerunner:

http://www.pricerunner.co.uk

You will almost certainly find what you are looking for at another site cheaper than where you first found it.

Google Shopping search (aka Froogle) will sometimes also locate some bargains:

but it's a bit more inconsistent in what it turns up than Pricerunner.

There's a wide range of other specialist price comparison sites. See our list of them here:

For consumer electronics ebuyer is often the cheapest. It used to be Dabs (until BT bought them), and still is occasionally. Pcnextday is also worth a look, particularly for things like computer monitors. Novatech offers very keenly priced computers, with the option of no operating system, which is perfect for installing Linux (see free stuff). Argos is actually difficult to beat for small appliances.

Whatever you're going to buy though, do use the price comparison sites first.

Revoo is very good for seeing what other people think of the product, or service, before you buy it.
