Is this appropriate? I'm going to be purchasing something soon, and I'd like to do this. On one hand, I know I can find a good price and product online, but on the other hand, I would like to support a local business.
I'm worried this might come off as rude, though, or appear like a cheapskate or too demanding.

B&m stores generally list who they will price match. Generally only online sited of local competitors. Bbuy does more now as of March 16th I think.
Do not showroom a b&m store by asking thier people for help. Its rude.
There is more overhead at a b&m. So if you go there and have them guide you then buy from them or make them pricematch a local competitor.
Not joeys discount electronics from asia.
