“Because of product price variations, the single most important thing consumers can do to save money is to shop around,” according to the Consumer Literacy Consortium. Andrea Deckard, who tests money-saving tips on http://Mommysnacks.net, did some comparison shopping with Milo. "When I found what I needed in my price range, and that it was in-stock nearby, I was so relieved that I wouldn’t have to spend time and gas driving from store-to-store with my three kids. Now I'm going to just one store where I can look and feel before I buy, I know I’m getting a competitive price, and I'll save on shipping costs," Deckard stated.
Now shopping around is part of every smart parent’s routine because the payoff can be substantial with just a few clicks on Milo. According to recent National Retail Federation research, the average American family is expected to spend an average of $549 on back-to-school supplies for school-age children and $618 for college students. Those families that don’t comparison shop are missing out on hundreds of dollars in potential savings. Using Milo to search local stores for a few items from Oprah’s “Essential College Supplies List,” Milo found $420 in total savings for a compact microwave, an HP TouchSmart desktop computer, and a Nikon Coolpix digital camera. To add to the savings, Milo showed us that all of these items were available for local pick-up, which eliminates shipping costs and makes returns easy.
When comparison shopping, quality can be just as important as cost savings. That’s why Milo helps shoppers find top-rated products with its 120,000+ user-reviews. “Milo helps you get the most bang for the buck,” said Jack Abraham, Milo’s Founder and CEO.“We believe that by combining top merchants, user reviews, and current availability, Milo ensures that you’re good to go before you hit the road.”
