Balloons

Today,  We went out into to town to see roughly how much this ident is going to cost for us to produce. We went to a number of birthday/card shops and looked at a number of 2 Balloons. We went in shops like Birthdats, Clinton Cards, Card Factory, Write a Card and many more. We found out that there isn't much difference in prices in each of these shops as they are priced between £6.99 and £7.99. This means we don't really have to go to a specific shop. We want a specific colour so we have crossed out a number of shops to go to as they don't have the colour we want. We would like to get a blue balloon.

I have also been looking online at balloon prices to see if they are any cheaper on line. The image below is a screen grab of a balloon price I have found online. This shows that online prices are cheaper than buying it upfront in a shop. The only down side to buying this online, is we can't predict when it will arrive buy so it is a little unreliable. Also it says the measurements in the description so we would have to compare it to one in the shop so that we are certain it is the right size.
Below is a screen grab of internet prices for the Number 2 Balloons. Some of the prices shown below have delivery prices and some of are free and this varies the prices of the balloons. However, majority of the prices shown are cheaper than shop prices. 
We have decided to buy the balloon from a shop in town as £6.99 divided by 3 isn't that much for all of us to pay. It also allows us to buy the balloon on the day we want/need it. Also if we buy it from the shop they will blow it up there and then for us where as if its off the internet we would have to find away to blow it up. Buying it from the shop is more convent and easier for us.
