How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
And for those seeking extra warmth this time of year B&M is selling a neckband warmer too - so you never need to feel the cold, even on the go.
At just £15 it's you don't want to miss.

Lana Clements, Sun Savers editor said Being super organised with Christmas and having an idea of expenses helps spread the cost and takes some of the pressure off the big day.
She added: "I will be doing stockings for my two children as usual this year and have already started collecting things that can be used as fillers - I simply buy as and when I see suitable bargains.
"I am also looking at buying a toy advent calendar and taking out the gifts to use as fillers which is a great way to make some savings.
