Comparison shopping saves money on everything from groceries to insurance – but don’t let it consume all your time.
Focus your energy on comparing prices for expensive purchases where savings will be significant.
Use apps and websites that collect and compare prices to make shopping easier and faster.
For routine purchases, establish a few trusted sources rather than searching everywhere every time.
Consider total cost of ownership, not just purchase price – cheaper items that break quickly aren’t good value.
Factor in shipping costs, return policies, and customer service when comparing options.
The goal is to get good value for your money without spending hours researching every purchase.
