The activity you describe is called comparison shopping (also called comparative shopping or product comparison).

- Definition: comparison shopping = studying products to identify similarities and differences (features, quality, price, warranties, reviews) so you can choose the best option for your needs.
- Example: “Studying products for similarities or differences is known as comparison shopping.”

Quick tips when comparison shopping:
- List the must-have features and deal-breakers first.
- Compare total cost (price + taxes + shipping + installation + warranty).
- Compare specs side-by-side and read expert and user reviews.
- Check return policies and support options.
- Use price-tracking and comparison tools (Google Shopping, CamelCamelCamel, PriceGrabber, Consumer Reports, retailer comparison pages).

If you want, tell me a product category and I can show a short comparison checklist or compare a few models.
