Once again, the internet has saved us money. I don't know how we lived without it.
We need a computer desk for our family room. We saw one we liked at Staples on Sunday, but it didn't have a price on it and it was closing time, so we didn't bother trying to find a salesperson. We came home and looked at Staples' website and saw the desk was $59.99 which was fine. Last night, we went back to the store (different location) and the desk was priced at $89.99. I went to Customer Service and explained that the same desk was only $59.99 at their website. The clerk said the website is separate and may offer different pricing. So we left, went home and went back to the website. The desk was still $59.99 and shipping was free on orders over $50, so we ordered it. It should be here tomorrow.
The moral is to always check online before buying anything. Even the same store may offer a lower price online than they do in their stores.
