Price Matching
Savvy shoppers know that many retailers have either formal or informal price-matching policies, so it pays to do some comparison-shopping. For example, at Circuit City, if you find a lower advertised price at another local store, the retailer promises to beat the price by 10 percent of the difference. Or, if you buy something from Circuit City and then find a lower advertised price within 30 days, the retailer will refund the difference. At Home Depot, if you find a current lower price on an identical in-stock item from any retailer, the store will beat that price by 10 percent.
Matt's View
Some retailers will match or beat prices found on the Internet, so use price comparison web sites like PriceGrabber.com or Shopping.com . Others will only consider prices from another local retailer, so check prices at ShopLocal .
