Finding ways to save doesn’t have to be hard. Sure, sometimes it is, but many simple tricks exist that have more impact than you think. One example is automatic coupon finders for online shopping. These tools are easy to set up, and once active, have the potential to save you hundreds or thousands of dollars per year.
So, what are automatic coupon finders, and how do you use them?
Automatic coupon finders are often set up as browser extensions, which means they’re like an extra add-on for whichever Internet browser you use, whether that’s Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or something else.
When you install the tool and make an online purchase, it will automatically scan the internet for promo codes, test the ones it finds to identify the combination that will save you the most money, and then apply them. The idea is that you can say goodbye to looking for coupons to your favorite online stores yourself. Some tools even take it a step further, letting you compare prices across multiple websites or earn cashback rewards.
Some popular options for automatic coupon finders are Honey, Coupert, and DontPayFull. All are browser extensions, as discussed above, and all are free. The process to get started is similar for each of them. Just search the tool’s name, go to its website, and look for the button that lets you add the extension to your web browser for free. The button is right on the homepage for each site. From there, each tool’s website will provide simple guidance on how to start saving.
Just make sure that you vet whatever coupon finder you choose before you install it. While many browser extensions are useful, some can be fraudulent and carry malware. Downloading them from a trusted source, such as the Chrome Web Store or the Firefox Add-ons Marketplace will help you make sure that you’re taking advantage of coupon finders safely.
All in all, the ease of setting up a coupon finder, along with the lack of cost, makes doing so a no-brainer. Few other methods offer such a simple way to save money.
