Hi @marinad,
The answer really depends on the product. We cannot say that it's always cheaper to buy from one store over the other but at Amazon.com, you will be able to find many retailers for a product which will enable you to choose the lowest price for the product. So, what product is it, @marinad? Since you did not specify products to compare, I will compare one product’s prices in three stores. So for Avanti Portable Ice Maker, it’s cheapest to buy it from Walmart because it only costs $189 in them compared to Amazon’s starting price which is $252.59 and at Sears, it just costs approximately $259. I cannot be sure with other items but if you are shopping for items, be sure to compare prices first before buying them – we are customers and we need to save big.
