Invisible Hand Invisible-Hand is a browser extension (download it from its website) that tracks prices at 11,000 online stores and sends you a pop-up notification so that you can see whether an item you’re viewing is cheaper elsewhere. It works in the background of your browser (it’s compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and does not collect any personally identifiable information about you). Click on the pop-up, and you’ll be directed to the product page of the competing website. | Honey Automate the coupon search. Forget about Googling coupon codes. The browser extension Honey finds and automatically enters them for you at checkout when you’re shopping at one of thousands of participating stores. At checkout, you’ll see a pop-up box asking whether you’d like to try all available codes. Click “yes” and Honey will run through them in a matter of seconds.
