New App Automatically Finds Online Coupon Codes And Deals
I love to save money (you probably already knew that). I love discounts and I love coupons, but (and this is a big but) I hate dealing with coupon codes and searching countless sites for the best deal. As much as I like online coupons, I don't use them all that often when I am online. In the past I have used Google to search for coupon codes, but almost always found coupons that would not work for one reason or another (expired, item I am buying does not qualify for that particular coupon, etc...).
Necessity is the mother of invention, and thus the creation of a great browser add-on called Honey (Honey is an app that you add to your browser). It is unobtrusive, and simply runs in the background. It is 100% free and you can grab it here. The app works with Firefox, Safari, and Chrome browsers.
I recently read an article about the app and I thought, 'what do I have to lose' and I installed it. Minutes later I was over at GoDaddy buying a domain name for a website I was planning to develop. As soon as I got to the shopping cart and was getting ready to pay, the Honey app went into action. Within a few seconds Honey found a coupon code that worked and I saved $8.00. I was thrilled and a bit surprised. I had no idea that something like a domain name purchase would trigger the app and generate what amounted to a 50 percent discount. Eight bucks in my pocket, and I didn't have to do anything but sit back and watch Honey do its thing.
I do almost all of my online shopping at Amazon since I am in their free shipping program (Amazon Prime). I really did not realize, however, how many products at Amazon qualify for a coupon code discount. Amazon couponing is a bit tricky as they don't offer any site-wide coupons (coupon codes must be found for each item individually). This would take a whole lot of work to find applicable coupons that might be available for the items in your Amazon cart at checkout, but Honey does it automatically for you!
As the graphic below illustrates, Honey not only searches for coupons but also for lower prices (who cares about a coupon if Honey finds the same item for $200 less!)
Honey works on literally thousands of online stores, you can even use it the next time you order a pizza online! Honey has another major feature that I have not even touched on in this article - cash rebates. To learn more about the cash back program - click here.
