Today I was looking for some rolled gauze bandages where I don\u2019t exactly buy it all the time and so price wise I wasn\u2019t too sure what the best deal would be. Usually in these cases I actually try and compare about three different stores to get a feel for what the best value would be. The first store I went to had this value pack listed at about $9.99 which seemed like a lot. Funny enough, at another store it listed the exact same item for about $14.99.<\/p>\n

Crazy difference in price huh? So that was making the $9.99 deal seem like the best. But then I went to a third store which again had the exact same item for about $8.99. I guess that would finalize where I should buy it from right? But that\u2019s when I noticed this store had more variety of options.<\/p>\n

While it wasn\u2019t the exact same brand, there appeared to be a similar item which had a similar amount of product inside. But in this case it was $5.49. That one indeed won the pricing war and I ended up getting that. I couldn\u2019t really tell quality wise if the other brand was really worth almost double the price. But it shows the importance on how shopping at multiple stores can help you save a lot of money while providing you with some important market value pricing to find the best deals.<\/p>\n

Of course travel is a factor, but in this case it was around a mall which has a bunch of stores within walking distance of each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
