The convenience is undeniable: Major digital stores like Amazon and Walmart.com have it all.
But do the big chains also have the best prices? I decided to do some digging to find out.
I asked the MoneyWise.com editorial team to list the types of items they’re saving on, then used a free tool that lets you Instant search for better price at thousands of other online stores.
I was able to find over $400 in savings. Here’s how to do it.
Amazon vs. Walmart and Capital One Shopping
Savings may vary. Sample results are displayed.
After setting up Capital One Shopping on my laptop (it’s also available as a mobile app), I started searching for stuff on Amazon like I usually do.
Every time I bring in an item, a notification from Capital One Shopping lets me know if I can get it for a better price at another store. I also have the option to compare prices directly at other major retailers, like Macy’s.
I think Amazon, or maybe Walmart, would be the best choice in general. Most of the time, I was wrong.
Here are some of the savings I found:
Some of the other items I’ve looked at, like hand blenders and Blu-Ray box sets, are actually the cheapest at Amazon.
But in total, I was able to save $461.24 just by takes 30 seconds to install Capital One Shopping on my browser.
It was more than I expected; it almost makes me want to buy some of these for my co-workers. Almost.
