Bargains and savings gained from internet shopping
Check eBay
Even if you want to buy new, eBay will often have the item
you are looking for available from a small retailer at a great discount.
InvisibleHand is a web browser plug-in that works with Amazon, Play.com, John Lewis, easyJet
and many other online merchants. Whenever the item you are viewing is cheaper
on eBay, you'll see an alert pop up under the address bar.
Watch out for product
typos
When items are listed on eBay, there are often spelling
mistakes in the item name or description. This makes it harder for people to
find those auctions and they attract fewer bids. Fatfingers.co.uk
Just show me the
bargains
PriceCutReview is a simple site that
shows everything on Amazon.com that is discounted to half price or less. It's
easy to get sucked into impulse shopping for things you don't need, but it's a
great way to browse for Christmas presents.
Cheaper groceries
If you do your supermarket shopping online, MySupermarket.co.uk will log intoTesco,
Asda, Sainsburies and Ocado simultaneously and calculate the price of the
nearest equivalents for all your groceries. You can take the cheapest to the
checkout or split your list across supermarkets. MySupermarket will also 'swap
& save' for similar items that are on special offer.
Phone Shopping
Price checking apps like ShopSavvy (available for Android
and iPhone) let you scan the barcode of an item when you are out shopping and
check whether it's available cheaper somewhere else. You can either buy it
online or be directed to the nearest shop to you, using GPS.
