Certified Blogaholic

Now that I am considered an online shopaholic, I am beginning to develop a method to get better savings from better products through different resources in the internet. I don’t limit myself anymore to products that I am familiar with or those that I know I can only afford. The opportunities available in the web make it possible to get good prices on quality products if I do my homework well. Sometimes I get such good bargains on products that would otherwise be off-limits to me because of the price.

I usually start out by getting different reviews of brands for the regular products I use. Once I choose the product I feel would be the best choice, I then start scouting for prices all over the web. Previously, I would go to 2 or 3 different shopping search engines or comparative shopping sites. Now, I discovered that I can limit the time I spend canvassing for prices with ShopWiki.com. Unlike other shopping search engines, the options that ShopWiki produces for a product are much more comprehensive. One product alone would get me around 2 to 3 pages of possible online stores with comparative prices. Other engines usually display products that have paid for placement. ShopWiki is the only shopping search engine that combines advanced Web-crawling technology, similar to Google, with consumer-written wiki. With more options available, consumers get better deals and better discounts. Read the rest of this entry »

Shopping online can be just as fun as the real thing. Many say that it is not the same because you hardly move in your seat and there is no interaction between you and the sales person. Maybe you don’t move much, but that doesn’t mean you do not interact with others? In Ebay, you learn to anticipate what the competing bidder is thinking. I usually bid at the last minute after I have been outbid by someone else. Then again, there are people who just come out of nowhere and steal the item from under your nose. It’s a fun game though.

The real convenience of shopping online is that you cover so much ground in such a short span of time. You can stay at comparative shopping sites such as Shopping.com and find the clothing you need from different stores all in one page. Read the rest of this entry »

My kids have been bugging me to get an LCD TV for months. According to them, the gaming experience will never be the same than doing it on a large LCD screen. The heavy price tag on LCD TVs, however, is not something to be easily considered. Although it would be great to watch TV in LCD quality, it’s not really a must. My brother suggested I get an lcd for gaming instead. It’s cheaper and it serves the purpose.

Again, with the number of brands and specs around, the difficulty lies in choosing the right monitor. Then I remembered that Wize.com is the best site to consult when you want to get the best brand among various available in the market. Wize.com did not only give me a list of available lcd for gaming in the market, but it also ranked the brands on a scale of 1-10. Each product then has it’s own page where you can view the detailed specs, product reviews, and the comparative prices from online stores where it is available. Everything you need to know about the product and the reason it was ranked is all in one page. It’s the best comparative shopping assistant anyone can have.

I checked the ranking on lcd for gaming and number 1 on the list is the Samsung LCD monitor. It is more expensive than the others on the list. However, it has the best specifications and it ranks number one on all the market it can be utilized for. However, when I checked the negative reviews, there seems to be a problem with durability. Although there may be no question with visual quality, I still would not opt for a product that will not last a year despite the clarity or visual excellence it represents. No problem though. I will just go down Wize.com’s top 10 list and find one that strikes a balance between visual quality and durability. It is definitely the most useful online shopping tool I have ever used.
