This clever hack could save you money when shopping on Amazon!

For most of us Amazon is the go-to online shopping destination. It’s where we look first and, increasingly, it’s the only place we look at all. Amazon has such a strong reputation for offering low prices that we’ve come to take that as a given.

But it’s not always the case that Amazon actually has the best deal on a particular item. There are tens of thousands of online retailers of all shapes and sizes, and that’s to say nothing of the thousands of private sellers operating on sites like eBay.

There is a tool that can actually check if the price on Amazon is the best one. That tool is called Capital One Shopping - a free extension.

While you shop on Amazon, Capital One Shopping instantly finds you the best price. Look, we love Amazon Prime. Free 2-day shipping is great and, like everyone else, we enjoyed not knowing how much it actually cost. Well, guess what? It isn’t free to move atoms from one location to another, and that cost get baked into the price you pay.

Here’s how it works:

Capital One Shopping automatically goes to work in the background while you shop on Amazon. If a better offer is found, a notification appears instantly. It shows you the final price of the item (including sales tax + shipping), and notifies you of the delivery date. Same product, just cheaper.

Sometimes you need your order in 2 days, and in those instances, Amazon Prime is the answer. Though, the reality is that if you waited just a few more days for even half of your orders, the monthly savings with Capital One Shopping would pay for your yearlong Prime subscription.

Here comes the best part — It’s totally free. Don’t just buy from Amazon because it’s easy. Get Capital One Shopping today and stop paying more than you have to for the exact same stuff.
