If you want to save money on Amazon, then you need to take advantage of this ingenious trick. Amazon Prime used to be $79, but now it’s $139! That’s almost DOUBLE what it used to be. Many of us basically only ever look at Amazon for any kind of shopping. And after all these years, they’ve firmly cemented themselves as THE place to shop for the best deals of any retailer… That is, if this were 2009.

The truth is, there are millions of online retailers and private sellers that offer better deals than Amazon all the time. But there’s a workaround that automatically tells you if the price you see on Amazon is really the best price there is. And if it isn’t the best price, it tells you where you can find the best price. This workaround is an automatic tool called Capital One Shopping, a free N/A extension that does it all for you with no set up.

Honestly though, we love Amazon’s free 2-day shipping. But have you noticed how unreliable the 2-day shipping is these days? They almost doubled the cost of Amazon Prime for “free 2-day shipping” that isn’t even “free” OR “2-day shipping”! All they did was jack up the prices and reduce the quality of these “free” services, shoving it all underneath the $139 price tag for Amazon Prime.

Here’s how the trick works:

Capital One Shopping sits in the background while you browse Amazon. If it finds a better deal for something you’re looking at, it’ll tell you right away. It’ll show you the TRUE price (sales tax and shipping included) and the delivery date. It’s the same item, but cheaper.

Every once in a while, you might need something to come in overnight or within 2 days, in which case, Amazon is perfect. But the honest truth is that waiting just a couple more days can get you exactly what you want to buy for cheaper. And that savings can be enough to completely pay off your Prime membership.

Capital One Shopping is completely free and takes less than a minute to start using. Look, we love the convenience of Amazon just as much as anyone else. But cheaper is cheaper, and I’d be more than happy to wait a couple more days for a better price for the exact same thing.
