With the advancement of technology like the internet, very often before buying something, I will compare prices at few online outlet before purchasing them, all at the convenience of home. Other than eBay or Amazon, I do shop over often in Buy.com as they have weekly Sale that offered very attractive prices.  I do not have to worry about the shipping cost as my Hubby travels to U.S. for work very often. So far, I have bought Nike outfit that cost 70% less than what I have to pay in Malaysia.
