COMPARISON SHOPPING
Comparison shopping is shopping for bargains by comparing the prices of similar items or brands or comparing the prices at different stores. To get a bargain, or get the best value, you must compare not only price, but quality as well.
To compare price, if you are comparing a single item at two different stores, then it is simple: the item with the lower price is likely the better deal (don't forget to compare store return policies, etc). More difficult is if the price is different depending on the number of items you purchase:

Example:

Which is the better bargain?
2 pounds of bananas for $1.00 OR 3 pounds of bananas for $2.00?
To find the answer, divide the cost by the amount to find the price per unit:

$1.00 divided by 2 = .50 per Pound This is the better bargain!
$2.00 divided by 3 = .67 per Pound


Besides price, you also need to compare quality. If something is priced less, but the quality is not good, then the saying "you get what you pay for" may apply. Unless you have someone that can give you advice, you need to make your own decisions if the item with lesser quality is a better deal than the item at a higher price. For example, if two shirts are priced at $20 and $10, but the $10 shirt shrinks and falls apart, then the $10 shirt may actually be worthless.
