How I Stopped Overpaying on Amazon (And You Can, Too!)

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).

A friend told me about , a free browser extension that helps me save money. All you need to do is install the extension (it works on all major browsers), and within seconds, you’re on your way to savings.

As you look at an item on Amazon, automatically tells you if you can find the same item for cheaper somewhere else.

It will show you the final price (including sales tax and shipping charges) and the estimated delivery date. Just click the button to go right to the item to purchase it.

One morning earlier this Spring, my blender decided to stop working mid-smoothie making, so I immediately grabbed my laptop and pulled up a new blender on Amazon. notified me I could get the same blender for over $350 cheaper somewhere else!

Another thing I love about Capital One Shopping is it helps you save money on more than just Amazon. When you shop at one of the 100,000+ stores it has found savings for, Capital One Shopping will automatically apply available coupon codes to your cart. So, the next time you go to buy something on Amazon, make sure you have installed to start saving! Remember, it’s free!
