Anyone ever used the browser extension called Honey? It is kinda like a Kayak or Priceline but instead of being for travel it is for buying stuff. It doesn’t search multiple sites but it finds the best particular deal on the current site. It will also detect promo codes and apply them. For places like Amazon it will search all the different sellers of the item you are going to buy. I recently made an Amazon tool order and it showed me I could save $40 something if I go with a different seller. There is also a rewards feature but I haven’t looked much into it. The nice thing is Honey is all free.
I checked and it works on many popular tool sites. I did find it does not work on Factory Authorized Outlet
I was using it for a while but it wasn’t saving me any money, mostly it would try to apply coupons that didn’t apply, I’ll try it again and see if it’s changed at all for me. Glad to hear it’s working for you!
The browser addon that has given me quite a bit of money is ebates. I started a thread about it here: /forum/topic/10288-ebates/
@BMack37 it works great on Amazon. Saved around $80 total on 2 items then various amounts under $10 on some other items. Even takes into account prime which may or may not be the cheapest option.
I’ll have to check that out.
I’ve had it awhile…. it sorta works… haven’t had any major wins with it but kinda handy on Amazon.
