Tip #1. Do a Google search. Don't be to general in your search, type
in exactly what your looking for. Try putting the words you
type in quotes to narrow the search.
Tip #2. Go shopping at the office supplies and discount clubs. You
may find some discount clubs like Costco & Sams have a 6
month return policy, check your location. California stores
have a 6 month no questions asked policy, and yes, this means
Computers and Software too, even if the package is open and
you have used it. Just make sure you can put it back in the box
and you have the receipt.
Tip #3. Don't forget to check eBay.
Tip #4. Try other stores like Fry's, Best Buy, Circuit City, Dell, Gateway,
CompUSA.
Tip #5. If your looking for used try craigslist.org, eBay.com,
http://auctions.yahoo.com
Tip #6. Compare prices at pricescan.com, pricewatch.com,
pricegrabber.com, price.com, epinions.com, shopper.cnet.com,
streetprices.com & bizrate.com
Tip #7. Check the Sunday newspaper.
Tip #8. Staples, Office Max and Office Depot have price matching. So
If one of them has a sales you can take the sale ad to any one
of them and they will honor it. Helpful if the store having the
sale is not to close to you.
