It is truly a magical time of year once again – the holiday season has graced us with its presence, providing the perfect opportunity to craft and organize heartfelt gifts for those dear to us. After dedicating time to consider their preferences and pastimes, the subsequent step involves perusing a multitude of physical retail stores and online marketplaces in pursuit of the perfect gift. If you aim to keep your budget in check, keeping an eye out for sales and discounts is highly advisable to ensure you are maximizing the value of your purchases. While this undertaking may seem overwhelming and time-consuming, the joy derived from giving gifts makes every effort worthwhile in the end.
If you’re not looking forward to going through that process again this year then rejoice, Dear Reader, for I come to you with solutions. These three browser addons won’t tell you what the best idea for a present is but once you’ve figured that out they will show you the cheapest place you can get it in no time at all. No more manual price checking. More time for drinking eggnog and watching reruns of the same holidays specials that have been on TV for the past 40 years. Or whatever you want to spend your time doing.
Priceblink
When you’re viewing a specific product PriceBlink searches the web for lower prices and lets you know if you’ve found the lowest price. Priceblink displays a small banner at the top of the webpage you’re viewing once it has searched for a better price to indicate whether a better price is available as well as which other websites are selling the same product. The small banner is only displayed on pages where it recognizes a specific product for sale, so it does a good job of staying out of your way when it’s not being used.
Invisible Hand
Invisible Hand is a lot like Priceblink. It shows a similar small banner on the top of your screen alerting you to any cheaper prices and letting you know what other stores are selling the same product. But Invisible Hand also works for finding the best prices on flights, hotels and car rentals, which could be a nice added benefit if you’re planning on going anywhere this holiday season.
NOTE: Though technically you can use Invisible Hand and Priceblink at the same time, they do very similar jobs and can conflict with each other in some cases. We recommend only using one.
Honey
Instead of searching online stores for cheaper prices on individuals products, Honey searches for coupon codes specifically for the website you’re shopping at and then applies them for you automatically. You’ll see a small “Find savings” button on the checkout page of supported websites. Just click the button and Honey works its magic to get you the lowest possible price. Honey will still work even if Invisible Hand or Priceblink are installed, so I recommend using both to get maximum savings.
Big fan of Regzooka. I am forever searching for the “best deal” on line and you are providing what seems to be three great products, BUT, like most things on the NET they appear to be American orientated. Please can you advise if in fact is there provision for searching UK sites only?
Thanks and kind regards.
Mike,
We have many customers in the UK and all of our support options are available to UK customers as well.
