So today I saw some New Balance running shoes advertised for $40 that seemed decent, so I went to the store to try them on and they were crap. Found a nice pair of Asics that felt incredible to jog around in, but they were $90 + tax = $97. I wanted to buy them but also thought I'd check to see if I could find a better price, as ~$100 is a lot for a pair of shoes. I went home and found the exact pair online for $67 and free shipping, plus no tax. A couple of weeks back I wanted to get a Google Nexus 7, 2012 model, as it's always such a waste paying top dollar for the newest computer hardware. I always like to buy something one year removed from top of the line so I get 90-95% of the performance for 40-60% of the price. So at Best Buy it was $200+tax = $216.50 for the 16GB version, whereas online I bought it from Newegg for $170 for the 32GB model. I wanted to buy a nice book on electricity and magnetism since I dropped out of a physics major in college but still love the subject (wanted to add a computer science major instead then though). $115 American edition new in the bookstore, but imported a British printing of the same edition of the same book of the same quality printing for $26 used in almost perfect condition on amazon. God I love the internet; it's so cool seeing how much competition there is for your dollar when you can shop around. Only time I can say I got burned was buying Royal Canin off amazon, where one of the bags didn't seem as fresh as the ones I get at Petsmart. Seriously, Petsmart must be the only non-grocery store that I ever shop at.
