comparison shopping
Seeking better deals
Comparison shopping is the practice of checking prices at multiple sellers before buying.
The goal is finding the best deal on an item: I did some comparison shopping before buying the laptop.
The internet has made comparison shopping easier, with sites that aggregate prices across retailers.
