Would you ask friends and family, would you read magazines like consumer reports, or how do you determine this product is best for you? And, what was a large item you bought? Say you were purchasing a car, computer, home, business, etc.

When I wanted to buy a computer I read different tech magazines and talked to the IT people I work with. Some liked macs so I talked to those about the best macs. Other liked Pcs so I talked to those people about Dells, Hps, etc. After that I read a lot in magazines, such as Popular Science and Consumer Reports about the different computer models that my friends at work helped me choose. After that I picked the one that I felt best suited my needs.

For large item purchases, I consult my husband but we do read magazines and do our research as well. This would be for such items as computer, car or home.

I consult with two best experienced hands in the field and I cross check their suggestion and then finalize the purchase.
