5 Chrome Extensions that Save You Money

When you are shopping in a brick-and-mortar store, it is easy to look at your cart and quickly decide if you have everything you need, put the brakes on your shopping trip and find the checkout line. But, when you are shopping online, it is effortless to pile things in the cart, check out, then receive the shock of your life when all of those items find their way to your front door and the bill. These Chrome extensions can help you save money when you start browsing.


1. Capital One Shopping

The Capital One shopping extension automatically applies known coupon codes to your cart to save you money on your cart’s total cost. This extension is available for anyone; you don’t have to be a Capital One customer to use their service. The Capital One Shopping extension helps those who are avid Amazon shoppers, providing a “Best Price” button and a watchlist button. The Best Price button looks for the best deal for the product you are looking at among all Amazon sellers. The watchlist will monitor the price of an item for the next 60 days to ensure you have the best price for what you want.

2. Amazon Assistant

The Amazon Assistant browser extension will show you daily deals and help you discover products available on Amazon. As you shop, you should see the low-price badge that tells you that the price of an item over the last 30 days. This browser extension is also available for Safari, Edge, and Firefox.


3. Rakuten (also known as EBates)

Rakuten is an online platform where you can receive cash back when you shop with merchants that have partnered with Rakuten. Before the browser extension, you had to remind yourself to go through the Rakuten platform to receive the cashback. However, with the Rakuten browser extension, you can cruise your favorite online shopping sites, and the extension will notify you that you are shopping with a partner. Not only do you not have to remember to go through the platform, but you don’t have to dig through their merchant list to find your favorite shops.

4. Honey

Honey works much like a combination of the Capital One shopping extension and Rakuten rolled together. When you add the extension to your browser Honey will automatically apply known coupon codes to your cart when it is time to check out. It works to find Amazon products cheaper simply by directing them to other Amazon suppliers. Honey also has an online platform that is called “Honey Gold.” When you navigate through the platform to purchase items from your favorite stores, you receive coins for gift cards from stores like Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and more.

5. InvisibleHand

The InvisibleHand browser extension is one that mainly operates in the background. However, when looking at different products online, InvisibleHand will notify you when a specific product is available at a lower price on another site. The InvisibleHand browser extension will inform you when coupons are available for the sites you are browsing or shopping.
