How do you plan on shopping this Christmas season?

 I stumbled across an article talking about integrating Smartphone usage with holiday shopping this season. Maybe I wasn't caught up in the hype for the previous years, but I have never seen such publicity about using phones for shopping until this year.

So, one question puts it. How will you go by on your shopping this season? Are you capable of shopping with your phone? What if you could compare in-store prices to online prices?

Did you find the perfect coffee maker for your husband? Try using a bar code scanning application. As previously stated in my blog, you're able to scan anything and everything with a UPC code, and compare your prices to hundreds of retail outlets instantly. Lets face it, you do want the best bang for your buck, so if you come into this holiday season with ample shopping time, you should be able to receive all of your gifts before Christmas, and at a reduced rate compared to shopping in store and paying extra taxes!

Below you will find a chart about how Smartphone users plan to use their phone this holiday season.

For me? I'll go with compare prices, read reviews, look for promotions, and purchasing items. I'm going to test a theory this Christmas season. For each present that I'll be buying, I'm going to find it in store, read up and learn everything about it, and then compare prices to online retailers. Simply put, if its cheaper online after shipping, I'll go with it as long as they're a trusted seller.

Being a tech-geek will pay off for me this Christmas season...hopefully. How about you?
