If you've got a good travel gear store in your area, take advantage of it to buy things that are tough to buy online because they need to be fitted: backpacks, hiking shoes, and the like. For other things, you can often find a much better deal online, especially if you check the outlets, the sales, and the "last season's model" items. Here are a few good places for shopping around.
