Learn English – Single word for shopping after comparing price and features across multiple shops and product types

single-word-requestssynonyms

I'm looking for a phrase or a single word that denotes the act of buying an item after analyzing the price and features of different products across several shops. The closest I could get to was "discerning" shopper. I would like to have a word that directly refers to the act of extensive research done before buying a product.

Thank you

The standard phrase is...

shop around - to compare the price and quality of the same or a similar object in different shops before you decide which one to buy.

This chart shows how the expression has become increasingly common over the past century, and here are thousands of written instances of [you] should shop around (standard consumer advice).
