Bargain hunters: tricks to find the best internet prices.

Buy 'online' and save the maximum possible. Extensions, 'apps' and even Telegram can help us not to lose any discount.

A mobile of 230 euros for 40 euros. An offer that seemed impossible ... because it was. An error in the Amazon website caused the 3rd generation Moto G to show a price far from reality, although that did not stop several users from getting one. Even so, buying online and saving money is not so complicated, and does not require computer failures. We gather some of the best tricks for lovers of sales who want to be always alert.

Telegram channels

The most impatient can join a Telegram channel specializing in offers. These broadcast lists allow a user to offer information to all its members quickly, a perfect format to receive breaking news but also rebates.
There are many channels focused on offers. @Preciostirados, @Chollos, @Descuentos and @Chollazos are some examples. There is also the option of @ofertasAmazon, focused on the sales of the online commerce giant.
To join, just follow the link, or give the magnifying glass on the main screen of the application and write the name of the desired group, with the arroba in front. If we want to leave it, we will have to give the image of the group, inside the chat, and select 'leave the channel'.


Extensions for the browser
These improvements for browsers offer a multitude of interesting functions for the fighters. In Teknautas we have already talked about Powerup !, the tool developed by Otogami for Google Chrome that tells us the best price of a video game. If we are about to buy a game in an online store, this add-on tells us if the same title is cheaper elsewhere. Its creators ensure that the user can save an average of 37%.

InvisibleHand and PriceBlink are two ideas very similar to Powerup! of Otogami, but applied to all types of products. When visiting the product file, the extension will tell us if there is another online store that offers the same at a better price.
Monitoring the prices of products is a most useful strategy when hunting offers. As it happens in the stock market, following the trend is the key to knowing when to buy. That's what The Camelizer, an extension for Chrome, Firefox and Safari of the CamelCamelCamel platform - it's called, seriously - does. The tool only works for Amazon: when we visit one of its products, a button shaped like a camel to the right of the hyperlink bar will allow us to know the price evolution and create traces, as well as create alerts that let us know when the figure goes down. to match our budget. Also check the historical maximum and minimum.
Keepa is an almost identical alternative to The Camelizer. It is also exclusive to Amazon and is available for Chrome and Firefox.
