Comparing the best options for shopping, like groceries or that engagement ring you can’t wait to pop the question with, means sitting down and doing your research. There’s a number of factors to consider that are more general or relevant to your personal situation.
- Is this shopping purchase better online or in-store?
- Which place is offering you the best deal? Why is it better?
- Consider not only the cost but your time and stress that may come from deciding on a major shopping purchase.
- Are there available sign-up offers, coupons, or promotional discounts with one shopping option over another? There likely is.
- What are the alternatives?
These are just a few types of questions and relevant things you should consider before and as you’re shopping. You don’t want to regret your shopping decision after the fact even if there’s a refund policy.
