× Although I am a shopaholic person but on the same time I am economical as well.
✓ Although I am a shopaholic person, at the same time I am economical as well.
The sentence incorrectly uses both 'Although' and 'but' together, which is redundant. 'Although' is a subordinating conjunction and should not be combined with 'but'. The correct conjunction to use here is 'at the same time' with a comma after the subordinate clause to connect the ideas properly.
× It give me the overview of the the item selling on the different websites.
✓ It gives me the overview of the item selling on the different websites.
The subject 'It' is singular, so the verb should be 'gives' instead of 'give' to agree in number. Also, there was a repeated word 'the' which has been corrected.
× shopping is one of my favorite activity.
✓ shopping is one of my favorite activities.
The phrase 'one of my favorite' should be followed by a plural noun 'activities' because it refers to one item among many.
× So while shopping any item I do compare their prices on the different websites.
✓ So while shopping for any item, I do compare its prices on different websites.
The preposition 'for' is needed after 'shopping' to indicate the object of shopping. Also, 'their' should be 'its' to agree with the singular noun 'item'. The article 'the' before 'different websites' is unnecessary and has been removed.
× there are number of brands available in the market which offers you the good quality products at reasonable prices
✓ there are a number of brands available in the market which offer you good quality products at reasonable prices
The phrase 'a number of brands' is plural, so the verb should be 'offer' instead of 'offers' to agree with the plural subject 'brands'. Also, 'the good quality products' is better as 'good quality products' without 'the'.
× there are also some high end brands which gives same products at higher prices.
✓ there are also some high end brands which give the same products at higher prices.
The plural subject 'brands' requires the plural verb 'give' instead of 'gives'. Also, 'same products' should be 'the same products' to specify particular products.
