how do you tell a real deal from a fake
this holiday shopping season don't go
with the first deal you find if you're
shopping online search the name of the
product and compare prices on the Google
Shopping tab or if you're braving the
crowds at the store keep your phone
handy apps like scanlife and shopsavvy
let you scan the barcode of a product to
compare the price from different stores
both online and in person because a
better price could literally be right
around the corner make sure you know
exactly what you're getting before you
buy rather than relying on just the
generic name of the product search by
the specific model number or sku this
will ensure you don't end up getting the
wrong model or last year's version of
the product you really wanted some ads
might get a little creative when listing
an item's price and the savings they
show may be based off of the original
list price of the product and not what
it's currently going for check the price
on the manufacturer's website or at
other stores for an accurate assessment
a lot of retailers hide bad deals and
bundles if you're looking for a gaming
console or camera for example you may
not need all the add-ons price out every
item separately to figure out exactly
how much you're spending on the items
you're actually going to use like an SD
card or controller and just skip the bad
games and mediocre lenses if everything
checks out go ahead and pull the trigger
you found yourself a real deal
