77 Resources to Make Sure you Pay As Little As Possible
30 Comments »Posted in HardwareFeb 23, 2009
Everyone loves a good bargain. But when you waltz right into Future Shop or Best Buy, you’re probably paying a bit more than you should be. Here are 100 web sites that will compare shopping prices for you in your region. Make sure you only pay as much as you should! For those with strained eyes (I know I got lazy), the Find function in your browser should come in handy (CTRL+F makes the Find function appear — just type in your country (i.e. Canada), and your browser will immediately filter out only those keywords. Then you’ll find the respective listing right next to it.
Many of these sites offer international stores, which I tried my best to include in the listings. Usually I was able to find the international variants of these stores at the bottom (or footer) of the page.

77 sites, from as many countries as I could find (hey, China and Japan are a lot more rare than you think). Hope that they work well for you, and never, ever, again, make you pay full price for that iPod.
Update [2/24/2009]: I know I’ve got up to 80 now, I originally didn’t find the Streetprices.com International sites.
Really like Twenga nice website !
Thanks for sharing! You gave me an awesome list. I know that it is rare to find sites in other countries that are not the US or Canada. Great work though!
oh my, this is some goooooood work holmes. props? haha
Hi,
Would you consider adding icoste.com to that list? Icoste is a UK price comparison site and can save consumers money.
Many thanks
Mike

hey guys, just came here when i did an quick yahoo search. Fine post you have here! Keep it up!
Hi,
I’d add the whole idealo family. Biggest in Germany and growing from day to day in France, Austria and UK.

Thanks for compiling this detailed list of shopping sites, there is quite a lot to go through there.. I would suggest adding this UK price comparison site for your list as my own preference. I noticed that your list is mostly price comparison type of sites, there could also be some mention of sites that have coupon codes which provide further discounts and help you save even more.
Great tips! I totally agree with removing barriers to comments – I will not register to comment unless it is a blog I visit frequently.
Agreed, borders.
Thanks for commenting.
Great, if You need prices on anything please look up our website in Denmark http://www.findpriser.dk – well anyway, if You are in Denmark..
Nice work on compiling this shopping site list, though this might be because of the timing but I think you’re missing one of the main price comparison sites in the UK.
I would also recommend looking at discount voucher codes after the initial price comparison, as often times you can save a bit further with an average of 10% off the order.
Great list which has proven very useful. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment!
one of the most famous price comparison websites in Japan is kakaku.com
Will give it a look, Ken. Thanks!
Hi Herbert,
There’s another price comparison website in the UK that is proving pretty popular now called Less Lettuce –
http://www.lesslettuce.co.uk Searches over some 6 million products and is bound to have stockist information and pricing on virtually any product that is searched.
Thanks
Hey Nigel,
Thanks for the input. Good to hear from the other side of the globe! Hope you are well.
From,
Herbert
