8 money-saving tips for Firefox

1. Firefox Companion for eBay

The eBay Companion shows auctions in the sidebar and alerts you when anything happens, helping you to strike at the right moment.

2. Amazon Shopper

Amazon’s prices change from day to day, so tell this nifty plug-in what you’re willing to pay. When the price drops, it’ll let you know.

3. RetailMeNot

Discover whether discount codes are available for the site you’re visiting. RetailMeNot is a collaborative effort, so the more people that use it the more useful it gets.

4. Yapta

Flight finder Yapta includes the main European carriers, although it’s best for transatlantic or US travel. The tracking feature lets you know if any flights drop in price.

5. Exch

Planning to buy currency? Timing is everything. Exch carries out currency conversions and shows you graphs of the underlying trends.

6. CraigZilla

Find bargains on Craigslist from your status bar: select your region and what you’re looking for, and CraigZilla fetches and filters the listings accordingly.

7. One-Click-Best-Deal

Despite the rubbish name, this is pretty handy: select and right-click on a product name, and One-Click-Best-Deal checks Shopping.com to see if it-can-find-it-cheaper.

8. Spellcheck

If you post on forums or use online forms to enter information, you may wish to have the safety net of a spellchecking tool. Spellbound is one of the best.
