To go into a store to try products out with no intent of buying them and/or with the intent of buying it online for a lower price later.

Buying Frozen Peas 

Coded phrase for: "Getting a vasectomy" since part of the post-operative instructions suggest you place a bag of frozen peas on the sight of the incision for the first few days in order to reduce swelling.

We've decided not to have any more kids, so I'm seriously considering buying frozen peas.
