Price comparison sites
 

Hi Guys,

i dont know if there is a good thread on this - i had a quick look, but didn't find one.

Anyway, i was hoping to start a thread on US websites. In the UK, sites like travelsupermarket.com, moneysavingexpert.com, kelkoo.com, elephant.co.uk etc... are really useful. But i cant seem to find many in the states!

So, does anyone know: A good price comparison site for car hire, health insurance, to buy stuff... and a good site like moneysavingexpert!

Any helpw ould be grand! i've just got to Boston and am looking at buying lots of stuff for my new house but i dont want to get ripped off.

Re: Price comparison sites
 

Buy stuff is rather general epinions.com pricegrabber.com are two examples great for electronics (pretty much anything with a battery or plug)
Car hire I have a perks at work site, but no longer use them as my Amex card beats all sites for car hire.

If you want to mention specifics I can help, have come pretty good at finding deals over here.

I think I recall www.kayak.com being mentioned for travel stuff, although I've not used it.

I often use www.froogle.com for price comparisons when buying stuff.

Wow! thanks for that guys.

Anyone know any good online grocery delivery services for the Boston area? I would have thought walmart would do it - but no.

In fact, i am noticing a real 'behind the times' sensation being in the states - it surprises me that the things i had taken for granted in the UK (supermarkets at every corner, online delivery for nearly everything, cheap mobile phones & mobile internet etc) would be plentiful in the US. but it just isn't so.

Anyway... enough of that me thinks....

online grocery recommendation.... go go go!

If your actually in Boston though, best stuff and prices are in Hay Market...have to go yourself though, or find a lacky on craigslist etc who'll do it for you :D
