Several times, lately, I found something a little cheaper online from a website other than Amazon.
HOWEVER, my Amazon Prime includes free 2 day shipping, and the shipping charges on the "cheaper" price at an alternative site is usually offset by Amazon's free shipping.
So, more than a few times, lately, when I find something cheaper elsewhere, I go ahead and create a user account with that merchant, put that item in my 'shopping cart', then log out and wait.
Within a day, I'll get a "welcome coupon" for 15% off, or so, and I wait another day or two, and the deal might even be sweeter.
The key is --- WAIT!!!! If you're not in a hurry to get something, you can often get it cheaper by the "sign up, shopping cart it and wait" strategy!![smile](https://theologyweb.com/campus/core/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The most current example is some shooting supplies from MidwayUSA. The item I wanted to buy was $7 cheaper than I could get on Amazon, but with $14 shipping. I just received an email from Midway for "$15 off your next order" plus FREE SHIPPING!
