Could You Be Overpaying for These Five Things on Amazon?

By Sophia Lane, Staff Writer for Capital One Shopping

Whether it’s something I want or something I need, when I shop online, the first place I turn to is Amazon. But, as much as I love the convenience, years of online shopping have taught me Amazon doesn’t always have the best price (even with free Prime shipping).

I recently told a friend about , a free browser extension that works quickly in the background to automatically help me save money — with free coupons, price comparisons, price drop alerts, and Shopping Rewards, it’s kinda genius!

And, on Amazon, if a better offer is found, a notification will appear instantly to show me the final price of the item (including sales tax & shipping). Same product, just cheaper.

So, here are five of the many things I’ve gotten the best deals on thanks to this secret weapon:

1. Clothing: The great thing about is it will notify me if there are additional savings opportunities on Amazon. If a better offer is found, a notification will appear instantly. It will show me the final price (including sales tax & shipping) and notify me of the delivery date. Same product, just cheaper! Capital One Shopping helps clothes like dresses, new hats, and a pair of shoes cost less and reassures me that I am getting the best price available.

2. Electronics: While I shop, will instantly let me know if I can find the tech I’m looking at elsewhere for cheaper. For my nephew’s birthday, I wanted to buy him a Nintendo Switch, but I was afraid I would end up overpaying on Amazon. Luckily, Capital One Shopping was automatically able to confirm I was getting the best price for the gaming system!

3. Home Furnishings: A feature I utilize all the time through is their watchlist. Whenever I find a piece of furniture on Amazon that costs more than I want to spend, I can set a price drop alert. When its cost decreases, I’ll be notified and can get the piece I want at a price that fits my budget. Sometimes it pays to wait!

4. Childcare Essentials: Through , buying affordable products for the children in my life has never been easier. I found a stroller I really liked, but it seemed to cost more than other ones I had seen. Before I even started scouring other websites for deals, a notification from Capital One Shopping automatically appeared on my screen. Turns out, I was able to find the same stroller for $32 less on another site!

5. Pet Supplies: One of the things I value the most about is that it does all the work for me. Spending hours scouring websites for coupon codes or available deals is finally over. Gone are the days where trying to find nice dog beds and crates becomes a whole ordeal. Now, I’m able to easily get everything my fur baby may need at an affordable price and still have time to do other things (like throw around a tennis ball)!
