Is it really worth it to do comparative shopping? I'm never one to drive across town for the sake of saving a few bucks. But today... we saved almost $200 because we held fast and did a little more research.
In the morning, we went to a mattress superstore. The quoted us a price that was already $100 off the marked price cuz "they helped us out." We left to another superstore... who had the exact same price, but wouldn't even try to lower it. So we went home for nap time... and on our drive home, we found a different mattress that was a lot cheaper! Calling the first store... the salesman told us they'll not only match the price, the mattress we found is one grade up from what he showed us in the morning.
In the end...we saved more than $150 on a mattress that's better in quality. Which begs the question.... how much are these mattress superstores marking up their prices for a profit.
Comparative shopping... still not a big fan.
