'Shopthrifting'

Sometimes I like to believe that I'll get things as close to free as I can without walking out of the store with it, getting frisked by security and being banned from the store. I'm sure most of us like to get a good deal. One of my last stops online when hunting for good prices is a neat little Web site named Pricegrabber. Sure, you have tons of sites out there to shop from but it's nice to see one giving a list of the current prices for a particular item like... Piers Anthony's A Spell For Chameleon in paperback. What I like about this is that you can see the varied prices for each place, how much shipping will cost you and an overall cheapest price. I've done this for several DVDs which would have cost me $19.99 + tax and instead paid only $17.99. If I buy 1,000 of those, I'll be ric... no I'll be poor and run out of shelf space. But, saving money is good and not going to jail trying... priceless.

Cool. I did a search for a 512MB USB Flash Drive; I found some pretty decent prices, including shipping. Thanks for the tip!

Hmm... I've been doing a bit more online shopping here lately, I'll have to keep that in mind the next time.

Thanks Martin!

I really like the fact they include the amount it will cost for shipping. Btw, I love that book, one of my favorites of Piers Anthony.

By the way A spell for Chameleon is excellently fun reading.
