Default Amazon is great; they’re in the business to make money so here’s a tip on how to save

When you want to search the Internet for an item, do it in a search engine such as DuckDuckGo not the Amazon website. When you search in DuckDuckGo, all businesses are competing for your purchase and you’ll see search results from Amazon, Walmart, and many others. They are competing against one another for your purchase. When you search for an item directly in Amazon you may not see the best price because they already know your profile, buying habits and competition is severely reduced.

After you see your search results in DuckDuckGo, make note of the best price that is presented from the various companies, including Amazon. Then search for the exact same item within the Amazon site. You may or may not see that item for that same lower price but you can get to the item by clicking on it in the DuckDuckGo search results. This tip may not work all the time but it has worked many times for me and others that are aware of it.

Happy holidays, and most importantly, happy shopping!
