Even though the prices onscreen look too good not to add those items to your cart, you have a nagging feeling that you should check to see if you're really getting a deal. Be more confident by using price-comparison apps.
These apps are not just good for Prime Day. You can use them whether you're shopping in a store or online, especially during big sales. A quick search can make sure you've found the best bargain on that item you really want or need, and maybe even an additional coupon code. The apps are also useful if you're just bargain hunting, as many of them show you the latest deals and flyers from stores.

You can compare prices at major retailers by typing in a search, using the barcode scanner, or uploading or taking a photo of an item. When you open the app, you'll find lots of coupons to use online and in stores for dozens of retailers and services. And if you're waiting to purchase an item at a certain price, you can set a price alert.
Shop smart with ShopSavvy (Android, iOS). Scan or search for items and see how much they are in-store and online. You can also see when there are sales at major stores, and you can compare prices from tons of retailers. But one of the best features of ShopSavvy is that you can track prices on a graph to see how they fluctuate, which lets you time and plan your purchases.
Whether your cart is online or IRL, Mycartsavings (Android, iOS) has a basket full of bounty for you. The app will track the price of an item in stores and online and alert you when it reaches the amount you're willing to pay. If you're multitasking, you can search the app with your voice. You can also compare the prices of items at Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Best Buy.
