Home Depot, Lowe's and Amazon usually have decent prices. But not always the best. What's everyone thoughts about a "cheapest place to buy _____" thread?

I realize the prices can be regional and will change but it'd be nice to get pointed in the right direction.
As an example. A few of the things I still need that I feel like I could save money on with enough research are:

As an example. A few of the things I still need that I feel like I could save money on with enough research are:
- Bonding wire
- Bonding lugs
- PVC
- Pavers (if I can get the DIY price down to the professionally installed concrete price)
- Electrical wire (#2 for wiring the subpanel and whatever it is I'll need to put a junction box on the far side of the pool)
- Conduit for the electrical wire
- 5/8" gas pipe to upsize the connection from my propane tank to handle my 400k BTU heater
- Etc
- Etc
- POOL CRETE - Pool warehouse ended up having the cheapest base. ($100 cheaper than the next. $500+ cheaper than many)
- POOL TROWEL - $14 on amazon. $40 at Home Depot
Thanks!
