Do you ever wonder if you’re really getting the best bargains when you’re shopping? Worry no more; Become is a comparison shopping site featuring any product imaginable. The site is very simple to navigate you can be as vague or specific as you want, and it will retrieve the products that you’re looking for. This site comes highly recommended from a newsmagazine on the KRON show based in San Francisco called, “View from the Bay.” Some consumers avoid comparison shopping sites, because they feel they are biased. According to an article written by Robert Hof for Business Week, he mentions that on comparison shopping sites, you probably aren’t finding the best deals and many of those sites aren’t reputable. Some of the sites he mentions are Shopzilla, Froggle, and Shopping.com. On Become.com, you are linked directly to the store to purchase the item. Some of the sites he refers to in his article function very similar to sites like Amazon. We must learn to be very discerning consumers, learn to purchase directly through store sites (if we’re shopping online), it’s good to contact the store and verify your order. If there are any concerns you can report them immediately to your credit card company or bank if you suspect that you’ve been ripped off. As consumers, it’s wonderful to share these tools, feel free to share your personal your favorite sites that would benefit the average consumer.
