Find Bargains with Froogle

Froogle

Froogle--a pun on frugal and Google is Google's spin on camparative shopping services such as Mysimon and bizrate. Like most other Google services, it provides the ability to browse and search specialized online content, in this case, products for sale. If you are in the market for buying something online, a service like Froogle is often the most efficient way of going about it. Foogle saves you the trouble of performing a web search for the tiem, visiting a bunch of results pages, and figuring out which ones offer the best deal. Instead, you can search Froogle and immediately see where the item can be purchased and at what price. Froogle is one of the most useful-underutilized-serices that Google has to offer.

Froogle is a beta interface, which menas that it is still developing it by tweaking its user interface and improving it's features. In nerd words, beta is a test version of the service. It doesnt mean that it does not work, it just means that it is soon going to be improved to the users happiness.

Step 1 Lists of Products

Once you have navigated to a sufficiently specific category, Froogle presents you with a list of products. By default, products are listed in a very rough order of relevancy to the category, but this ordering isnt very useful. I'll discuss laer how to order the products by price.

The top green status bar tells you how many propducts Google has found under your search. Below the green status bar is a Grid View link which shows the page with the products arranged in rows rather than a single column. More often, you want to see products ordered by price, or those that fall in your price range and theNavigation Bar, does just that.

The name of the Group By is a bit misleading. By default, Froogle only shows you one product in the current category from each store. This is to prevent stores that have hundreds os similar items for sale from swamping the list of products. If you'd like to see all products in the category that each store has to offer, just click the Show All Products link.

Froogle isn't as good as a community of people looking for the deals, like slickdeals.net. Without them, I would've never learned about all the free stuff that there was with googlecheckout.
