Browser Extensions (Honey, Capital One Shopping)

Honey (owned by PayPal, 17 million users) and Capital One Shopping automatically apply every available coupon code at checkout. Honey tests codes across its database of 500,000+ merchants and applies the best one — a process that would take you 15-30 minutes manually. Capital One Shopping also compares prices across retailers and shows if the item is cheaper elsewhere. The tradeoff: these extensions track your browsing and purchase data. Privacy-conscious alternative: manually check RetailMeNot or coupon sites before checkout. Average savings: $4-30 per order, which adds up to $150-400 per year for regular online shoppers.
