You've only got a small handful of options for buying a Google Pixel, although on the bright side, you won't have to spend a ton of time sifting through retailers to find the best deal. You can order it directly from the Google Store and Verizon — these are often the best places to find deals.
Verizon often has trade-in and "buy one, get one" offers that can save you a bundle of cash. The only downside is that your new phone will be locked to that carrier, so you'll have to stick with Verizon while you own the phone.
Best Buy also offers Pixel phones locked to Verizon or Sprint, though, often with discounts attached if you sign on with the carrier at the time of purchase.
If your carrier isn't Verizon and you don't want to switch, you can buy the Pixel phone unlocked from a variety of retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. If you're on T-Mobile, Sprint, or AT&T, this is a great way to buy the Pixel phone.
If you're buying unlocked, Amazon and Walmart are good choices for saving a bit of money off retail pricing if there aren't any other good deals to be had elsewhere and you don't want to wait for a sale. These two retailers also occasionally have sales on Pixel phones.
Editor's note: Some of the prices below, particularly carrier offers, do not factor in ongoing promotions or other special sales that come and go fairly frequently. Prices from retailers like Amazon also fluctuate regularly. Be sure to check and see what trade-in discounts, BOGO deals, and other savings might be on offer right now.
