Text Before You Buy – Google
If you’re out shopping and wondering if the price on the item in your hand is the best price you can find, simply send a text message to Google at 466453 stating “price” and the item you are looking for! ” (ex: price Ralph Lauren polo or enter the UPC/ISBN code directly) Within seconds, you will receive a list of retail stores and websites offering the best price! This could be especially helpful for a big ticket item!
