Lowest Price Guaranteed Discounts

How to get discounts on products using your smartphone?

This past Saturday we went hunting for a cheap USB turntable as a good report card present for our 10 year old. We have been wanting to introduce him to vinyl records for a while now.

Cheapism recommended the ION or the Numark so we went on an electronics store prowl around Manhattan to find a cheap one. J&R were sold out and Best Buy only had pricier models but eventually we found a model we liked at The Guitar Center. The price tag was $95 and next to the price it said in big letters "Lowest Price Guaranteed!"

I took out my smartphone, and searched Google for the model number. The prices that were listed on Google started at $75. Since the location services on the phone were enabled, it showed that the model was in stock at a nearby store (B&H) for $75. I showed it to the sales guy and instantly got $20 off the price. It was even cheaper than ordering it online since we didn't have to pay the delivery!
