How to Compare Prices on Jigsaw Puzzles

If you buy a jigsaw puzzle, it's likely you will spend many hours staring at it. Jigsaw puzzles come in hundreds of designs. Licensed characters, scenes from movies or nature and painting reprints are common images found on puzzles. The large variety of designs allows you to buy a puzzle you like. The cost is another factor involved with picking out a jigsaw puzzle. The cost varies not only from store to store, but by brand. The average cost of a puzzle depends on both the area you are shopping in and the store itself.

Instructions

- 1
  Check the price of the jigsaw puzzle. To make sure that you match the correct price to the puzzle, read the SKU number. Find the SKU number on the jigsaw puzzle underneath the bar code. Find the SKU number on the price tag on the shelf. The number sits below the price.
- 2
  Read the number of pieces each puzzle you compare contains. Determine how many pieces you want the puzzle to be. A puzzle with more pieces may have a higher value to you than a cheaper puzzle with less pieces.

  Read the puzzle box for features that would increase the cost. For example, any jigsaw puzzle with a licensed character on it will cost more than a generic image.

  Buy the puzzle you want. Consider the cost and piece number. For example, if you just want a puzzle to put together but don't care about the image, purchase a puzzle picturing a nonlicensed image rather than spend the extra money on a character.
