This will allow you to browse a website without your history, cookies and site data being saved. There are multiple ways to activate incognito mode depending upon the device you\u2019re using. For example, you can go incognito with Google Chrome by following these steps:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Open Chrome on your computer.<\/li>\r\n<li>In the upper-right corner, click the more button.<\/li>\r\n<li>Choose New Incognito Window.<\/li>\r\n<li>A new window will appear.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n<h2><strong>Install a price comparison tool on your browser<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people are so used to shopping at a particular store that they don&#8217;t even bother to look anywhere else.\u00a0 We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this isn&#8217;t how you get the best deals.\u00a0 Save time and money by using a browser add-on like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.getinvisiblehand.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Invisible Hand (opens in a new tab)\">Invisible Hand<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceblink.com\/webcpns\/browser-add-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"PriceBlink (opens in a new tab)\">PriceBlink<\/a>.\u00a0 Both tools automatically search for the lowest prices online while you shop.\u00a0 If they find a cheaper price elsewhere, they&#8217;ll notify you.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Abandon your shopping cart<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re not in a rush, put everything in your shopping cart but don\u2019t checkout right away.\u00a0 Typically, when you abandon your cart, retailers will email you about your forgotten items.\u00a0 Some even throw in a discount code to encourage you to complete your order.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Search for coupon codes<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the easiest ways to save money online is to use a coupon code.\u00a0 Sites like Coupons.com and RetailMeNot.com work with thousands of retailers to help you score the best deals.\u00a0 Just search the retailers name and they\u2019ll provide a list of available coupon codes.\u00a0 If you prefer something that requires less effort, install the Honey browser extension and let them find the best discount codes for you.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sign up for the store&#8217;s mailing list<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many retailers reward new subscribers by offering to take a percentage off their first purchase.\u00a0 Subscribers also get early access to sales, so they can snatch up their must haves before it&#8217;s too late.\u00a0 Additionally, some retailers offer better pricing for members versus non-members during certain sales.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get money back when prices drop<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be extremely annoying to find out an item went on sale right after you bought it.\u00a0 Fortunately, you can use an app like Paribus or Earny to get your money back automatically.\u00a0 How it works is they track the receipts in your inbox and if the price drops, they work on your behalf to get the difference refunded.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">File your taxes fast and ez in 30 minutes or less.<\/h2>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may not realize it but the device you&#8217;re using to shop online affects the price you see.\u00a0 Reports show that retailers tend to steer Mac users toward higher-priced options because it&#8217;s believed that they have more cash to spare.\u00a0 The good news is there are some strategies you can use to get the best [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16489,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-save-money"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.13 (Yoast SEO v20.13) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>7 Simple Tricks to Get the Best Price Online<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"You may not realize it but the device you&#039;re using to shop online affects the pricing.
