Ben’s Bargains and PriceGrabber are two websites that are also free apps available for Android and iOS. The two websites will showcase a variety of different products and the online stores that will offer the least expensive price for them. Ben’s Bargains has a unique feature which shows how much a price has dropped over time.

DealDump

DealDump compiles some of the largest online deal websites, as well as their own findings, onto one page. The listings underneath each heading for a website will show users the top 10, 15 or 20 deals found on that particular page. SlickDeals, Dealcatcher and New Egg are some of the pages showcased on DealDump.

Amazon Prime

Last, but certainly not least, is the ubiquitous Amazon.com. Amazon’s selection of just about anything anyone can imagine will have all kinds of prices, but it is the Amazon Prime service that gives out some fantastic deals. Amazon will update their deals on a daily basis, so online customers could possibly find the best deal possible here. If you’re not subscribed to Amazon Prime and are interested in trying it out, click this link and you’ll get it a free 30-day trial all for the fat price of nothing.

A helpful extension

Honey is one of the many free Google Chrome extensions and it scours online stores for what the best deal is for a certain product. Before a user will check out, Honey will alert them and let them know how much they could save if this product is purchased new or refurbished.

It’s not going to save you a ton of money, but Honey is a great addition for any avid online shopper.

Tips and tricks for your browser

If the websites are not giving a user the results they want, there are strategies to fool an Internet browser to give out better prices. Emptying out a cart instead of saving items is an example of jury rigging the system in a shopper’s favor. Another way is clearing the cookies and cache of an Internet browser, which also fools the browser to show the user the best deals upfront and/or, depending on the website, will give the least expensive price during the first search.

Happy (deal) hunting!

Online shopping can be fun, especially when it comes to finding the cheapest prices and best deals. It does not have to be a chore to find those prices as well, as visiting any of these websites will certainly help out any rookie online shopper.

I like honey roasted peanuts because they are delicious. I also like the Metal Slug games and X-Men comics because they are awesome.
