| Bag a bargain online
Christmas shoppers can bag substantial savings by going online rather than to the high street, research by UK consumer group Which? shows. It found that savings of more than 1,000 pounds could be made on a shopping list of five popular gifts - a flat-screen television, camera, camcorder, hi-fi and DVD recorder. Researchers compared prices on 72 products at 111 retailers and found that online savings ranged from 11% on digital camcorders to 29% on LCD and plasma televisions. Savings could also be made on everything from books (14%) and MP3/MP4 players (11%) to CDs (7%) and champagne (2%). But games consoles - such as the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 - were found to be similarly priced. "The trick to bagging a bargain is to discover which stores offer the most extras," Which? said in its November magazine.
