Do big stores save you the most? We price-check our shopping list

While we adhere to strict editorial guidelines, partners on this page may provide us earnings.

The convenience is undeniable: Big digital storefronts like Amazon and Walmart.com have just about everything. But they don’t always have the best prices.

We used Capital One Shopping — a free browser add-on that automatically looks for lower prices on the items you're viewing — to see if we could find better deals.

Amazon vs. Walmart vs. Capital One Shopping

Every time we viewed an item, a notification from Capital One Shopping alerted us to whether we could find it for a better price at another store or if there were any coupon codes available. We also had the option to compare directly with the prices at other big retailers.

We assumed these big chains would generally be the best option. Most of the time, we were wrong.

Don’t just shop at big chains because it’s easy

Last year Capital One Shopping saved its customers over $160 million, and with just a few clicks you can start saving, too.

Add Capital One Shopping to your browser and stop paying more than you have to for the exact same stuff.
