Recently I wrote about shopping search engines including 7items and Kallow that aim to help you shop easier online.  Milo.com is similar to these shopping engines; however they focus on purchasing in brick and mortar stores.

Milo is a new product-based search engine that will allow you to locate products you are looking for in local retailers near the city you specify.  The goal of Milo is to give the consumer the resources to find products they are looking to buy and get the best price possible.

Milo aims to help you answer three questions: What’s available at local stores? Which product is the best for me? Where is it cheapest and in-stock?

Search these major retailers in over 30,000 towns across the U.S.

Once you have performed your search you have the ability to refine your search by store, brand and/or price range.  In the product search view you can see a thumbnail of the image, see prices, user ratings and a brief product description.

Once you have found the product you are looking for, Milo will take care of the rest.  This comparison shopping engine will tell you the closest retailer that carries the product, who has the best price and if the product is in stock.  Even if you are not ready to buy the product yet, you can use Milo as a product research tool.  In the product details view you can read what others are saying about the product, along with product specifications.

So the next time you are looking to purchase a product online or in a store, make sure you find the right price by leveraging Milo.
