ShopSavvy for Chrome

It’s clear as day that nobody likes spending more than they have to. Nobody wants to be that “loser” that over-payed for something, but in today’s consumer-oriented world and the Internet, this aspect might prove to be a tad bit challenging to say the least.

Of course, there are numerous approaches one could take towards finding the perfect price for any given product online but, let’s face it, it takes time and a lot of patience. Thankfully, there is a simpler way of going about this business and it’s called ShopSavvy.

Whether you may or may not heard about it is quite irrelevant, but it helps to know that the service has been around for over a century and has helped tens of millions of people save money using their mobile devices.

Now, it’s also available as a Chrome extension, so you can start saving money directly while browsing the Internet using your computer. It works exactly like the iOS and Android versions do – namely, it automatically checks prices (in real-time) at over 30.000 retailers when you visit the page of any product.

After a few seconds, you can click the extension’s icon in Chrome’s toolbar, and get a full list of deals from multiple retailers. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll get to find a better deal than the one offered by the shop you’re currently visiting (which is most of the time), and that’s pretty much it.

The extension also boasts a simple and unintimidating Options section. It allows you to determine the position of the extension’s sidebar (left or right), the extension’s behavior towards showing prices (automatically or manually by clicking the toolbar icon to display them), as well as use price filters such for online retailers, nearby stores, used items, and third-party sellers. Last but not least, you can also help the extension find prices in stores in your vicinity by entering a postal code at the bottom.

To conclude, if you find that online shopping is a tedious, stressful, and pretty much annoying activity, then you might as well give this extension a shot. It comes from one of the most popular services of the sort, and really has the potential of saving you money and time.
