Holidays shopping is exciting. It's a sign of upcoming celebrations, and you can usually get great stuff for a bargain.
It's great when you can find stuff for a discount. Many people don't know they can get even more money off if they look in the right places. Here are some of our top tips to help you save more this holiday season.
Honey chrome extension
You can download the Honey chrome extension to your browser to find good deals.
You just download it to your chrome web browser and anytime you're shopping online, it pops up with a price history chart. Honey will show you the cheapest selling price in the past 120 days. That way you can see if you're actually getting a deal, or if there might be a better one out there.
Rakuten
Rakuten gives you cash back for shopping online. It's another chrome web browser extension.
Rakuten offers you 2% cash back. It could take a couple of months to get your money through a Paypal account or a check in the mail.
It's a free service that can get you hundreds of dollars just for doing your holiday shopping.
If you're worried about extension crowding your browser, dedicate one browser to online shopping and another to your web surfing.
