The best way to get good deals is to go to the source.

Go directly to microsoft and apple and see what their prices are like before going to a best buy. Need pet products for your faithful dog companion? Head directly to Petco to see what they have to offer before buying from a grocery store or walmart. Looking for new old navy clothes?
