SAO PAULO - A few days before Mother's Day, a good price research can yield big savings in gift buying. According to a survey conducted by Procon-SP, a product may have the same variation in price of up to 200% in establishments located in different regions of São Paulo.

After visiting ten establishments, spread across five regions of the city, and compare the prices of 44 items much in demand as a gift on Mother's Day, Procon found a difference of 201.46% in value of the board for hair brand Mondial. The lowest price for such product was R$ 19.90, while the highest was R$ 59.99.

The Foundation visited stores like Americanas, Pernambucanas, WalMart, Extra, Fast Shop, Shops Cem, Carrefour, among others. Another major difference between the lowest and highest price of 201.19%, was found in Taiff brand dryers.

Regarding electronics, Procon found prices of smartphones and tablets. In the first case, the largest difference was of 54.89% in a model Samsung unlocked. The lowest value was R $ 419 in an Extra of the East, and the highest was R$ 649, in a hundred stores in the north.

Other models of smartphones from other carriers also showed differences in prices depending on the setting and the region. In the case of tablets, it is possible to find the model of the Apple ranging from 20% to 40% on average, at different shops.

A survey by the Foundation took place between 10th and April 12th. He came to the conclusion that even the western region has the largest amount of products with lowest price: 13 in total.

Budget
At the time of purchase, the tip of Procon research goes beyond price. "It's important for consumers to evaluate the amount of the product and the need of the person who will be presented," he suggests. Yet another essential point is whether the value of the product fits in the budget, which should not be compromised even if the subdivision is in installments.

Finally, the Procon remember that the consumer is entitled to the store demonstration of how the product works, to see even if you really enjoy the item.
