Shopping Apps
Olio, Too Good To Go, Vinted: which actually deliver.
Shopping apps and browser extensions can knock 5–30% off most online purchases in the UK — but only if you install the right ones and remember to use them. The auto-checkout tools do the work for you; the price trackers stop you buying at the wrong moment.
These are the British shoppers' standard kit. Honey for codes, CamelCamelCamel for Amazon, Idealo for cross-retailer prices.
Where to look
- HoneyBrowser extension auto-applies voucher codes at checkout.

- IdealoPrice comparison across UK retailers, alerts when prices drop.
- PriceSpyStrong on electronics and home tech price tracking.
