Moneywise has partnered with Capital One Shopping and receives compensation (at no cost to you) when readers use the links provided in this article to get the Capital One Shopping extension.
For most of us, online shopping has become our preferred way to get pretty much everything.
You can take care of your entire list on a website like Amazon in just minutes, and you don't even have to change out of your sweatpants.

But huge online retailers like Amazon don't always have the best prices — unless you're price-checking every item in your cart, you could be overpaying. By a lot.

See discounts while you browse
Capital One Shopping, which comes as both a browser extension and an app, can potentially help you save a bundle every time you click "Buy."
When you’re browsing on Amazon, Capital One Shopping will instantly search thousands of other sellers to see whether there’s a better price somewhere else.
For example, if you’re planning to buy a Nintendo Switch for the gamer on your list, using Capital One Shopping could save you more than $37.
Savings found on November 16, 2020. Savings may vary. Sample results shown.
Still too expensive? Set up a price-drop alert, and if the item goes on sale in the future you’ll be the first to know.
Once you’re ready to check out, Capital One Shopping will automatically try to apply coupon codes gathered from its database of millions of other online shoppers.

And as a final perk, you’ll earn Capital One Shopping Credits when you buy from stores that are partnered with the extension. These Credits can be redeemed for gift cards at places like Macy’s, eBay and Barnes & Noble.
