Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:

Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

A SHOP you’ve never heard of is selling bags of Celebrations for just 1p each.
The chocolate favourite is making its return to stores ahead of the festive season and eagle-eyed shoppers have have found the cheapest prices.
Shoppers could nab Celebrations for an incredibly cheap price[/caption]
As Christmas becomes more expensive with each passing year, some punters may now have the perfect solution to rising food costs.
Now, online retailer Discount Dragon will have you covered for almost everything you need for a fraction of high street store prices.
And that includes your festive-favourite chocolates, which are always popular with shoppers at this time of year.
To help save you money on your food bills, Discount Dragon are offering shoppers the chance to buy 300g bags of Celebrations on the cheap.
Two Celebrations Milk Chocolate bags are going for just 2p in the incredible offer, posted by hotukdeals.
However, there is a catch as the popular chocolates have a shelf life which will expire on New Year’s Eve this year.
And punters who may be thinking they should stock up on the sweet treat may be hit with a roadblock though.
Discount Dragon is only allowing a maximum of two items per order so everyone can get their fair share.
For reference, Sainsbury’s are selling a similar sized 325g bag for £4.50.
And Asda are touting the same size bag for £3.50 according to online prices.
It’s always a good idea to shop around to make sure you can find the best deals.

5 days agoSouth TvComments Off on New Big Brother has failed in every meaningful way – but it has given me a whole new reason to hate the show
JUST at the point when I thought I’d run out of loathing for Big Brother, up popped housemate Segun to try to explain why he was still a virgin at the age of 25.
“No sex before marriage, innit,” he told Emma, who replied: “What religion is that?”
Contestant Daze has been irritating viewers[/caption]
“Christianity.”
“OK, I didn’t know that was a religion. I thought it was some way of life,” like naturism or Pilates or headbanging, which is presumably what Emma must have been doing since about 1971.
Because the staggering thing about this exchange isn’t just the ignorance, it’s also the fact Emma is 53 and must have gone through school when Britain was still a more or less Christian country.
And now?
Well, if you watch television, you’re probably under the impression it’s a moral vacuum run by morons for morons, a fair few of whom have ended up in the ITV house, like Emma, Marcello and Lily who, at the age of 20, can go weeks without showering and still picks her nose before eating the contents.
Attention-craving idiot
A disgusting habit which gains a whole new layer of horror once you’ve discovered she works at a Chinese restaurant in Warrington.
Weird thing is, though, despite all the usual hype, ITV seems to have no great plan for these numbnuts, in terms of challenges and tasks, and for the most part has just encouraged them to sit around discussing their spiritual and political beliefs.
A really bad idea.
For inside that compound they have gathered every shade of stupid in the spectrum, from Tory boy Nathan, whose values don’t seem to stretch much beyond a vague kind of snobbery, to left-wing fun sponge Ali, who stomps around the house wearing a “Trans rights are human rights” T-shirt.
A phrase that means absolutely nothing yet speaks volumes about the self-importance and attention-craving nature of the idiot who’s wearing it.
Somewhere between these two polar opposites, there’s also: Lily, a “Labour girl” who drew a blank with the name “Keir Starmer”;
Marcello, who seems to have been planted by ITV to make some point about misogyny; and Daze, an environmental activist who hasn’t let the fact she’s the size of a recycling bin stop her telling the others: “People die of starvation every day,” or informing them: “All I want to do is rip into a juicy steak.”
You name the hot political issue, these doughballs have got an ill-informed opinion on it — and it all came to a moment of revelation on Friday when narrator Marcus Bentley announced: “Daze and Khaled are in the bedroom discussing Palestine.”
A word that gave away the production team’s own prejudices because, leaving aside the thorny issue of whether an independent Palestine state has ever existed, they were, in reality, discussing Israel and the wider Middle East when Daze said: “Actually, if you, like, boil it down, no one should be killed like this. It’s, like, not OK, regardless of the situation.”
A statement so empty and stupid it could’ve come straight from our current Government. ’Cos that’s the thing about Big Brother and its contestants.
Their stupidity is no longer unique. It’s lost its USP.
Everything else, including our politicians, seems to have dumbed down to their level and you could, in fact, swap Nathan for Jacob Rees-Mogg, Lily for Angela Rayner and Daze for David Lammy and I’m not saying it would be seamless, but the level of debate and collective IQ wouldn’t improve that much.
The Big Brother 2024 cast[/caption]
This all-new, politically driven Big Brother has, I’ll admit, succeeded in as much as it’s given me a whole new reason to hate the show.
But it’s failed in every meaningful way, including the viewing figures, which launched with a paltry 825,000 and dropped thereafter.
I’m one of the dwindling number who are duty-bound to watch, of course, and when last I looked they’d dressed Nathan up as Boris Johnson for a Downing Street food budget challenge, while Ali was threatening to quit Big Brother with the words: “I’m going to leave ’cos this sucks. It’s a s**t experience and I don’t want to have arguments with people on television.”
She didn’t make good on her threat, obviously.
But as epitaphs for this dying show go, it’s pretty unbeatable.
ITV gets slice of action
LATEST part of ITV’s ongoing attempt to turn itself into Channel 4 was a surprisingly solemn documentary with a very enticing billing – I Cut Off His Penis: The Truth Behind The Headlines.
A title which involves the network trying to hide its own gleeful prurience behind some academic tut-tutting and worthy medical opinions from the likes of Doctor Apirag Chuangsuwanich, a medic from the dong-chopping capital of the world, Thailand, who explained: “The problems of penis cutting are rooted deep in domestic issues.”
Lorena Bobbitt severed her husband John’s prong then threw it out of her car window[/caption]
A possibility, I’m sure, you’d never considered.
The simple truth behind the headlines, though, as newspapers reported accurately at the time, was that a woman called Lorena Bobbitt severed her husband John’s prong then threw it out of her car window.
A lot of other abused women from across the world followed suit, including New Yorker Brigitte Harris, who later found solace, we learned, in her own food-delivery company, which really should be trading under the name Deliverow or Deliveroohyah, but hasn’t even had the nerve to go with Cocado.
Patient Zero, though, remains Lorena Bobbitt, who provided the one solid-gold quote of the night.
“As the whole world knows, I cut off his penis and there’s no way I can candy coat it.”
Well, there is, and you could’ve piped it full of apricot jam and put it on to bake at gas mark seven as well, but didn’t.
One to watch
AND finally, if you haven’t already watched One Day In October, please make sure you do, before it disappears from Channel 4’s catch-up service.
Unexpected moron in bagging area
THE Chase, Bradley Walsh: “Which Baywatch star was once married to the singer Kid Rock?”
Caspian: “David Hasselhoff.”
Tipping Point, Ben Shephard: “Type 45 destroyers are ships that belong to which branch of the British Armed Forces?”
And the entirely predictable mauling of ex-Tory MP Dame Andrea Jenkyns, by all of the usual cowards on Have I Got News For You, where, whatever horrors Labour’s new housing policies unleash, Boris Johnson will continue to live rent-free in Ian Hislop’s head.

Enders on way back
DESPERATE EastEnders is now in full “comeback” mode, with the latest old face to return being Michael “David Wicks” French, who immediately found himself confronting the soap’s current murderer-in-residence Reiss Colwell, as interpreted by Jonny Freeman.
“I’ve been you. I’ve felt like I was living a nightmare, on this Square.
David Wicks is the latest old face to return to EastEnders[/caption]
“Everywhere I looked, whatever I did, all I could see was people getting hurt.”
INCIDENTALLY, October’s No S**t, Sherlock award goes to Ferne McCann’s husband Lorri Haines, whose first words to an intimacy coach, on My Family And Me, were: “I feel there’s definitely a void that needs filling.”

IT looks like under-fire Strictly pair Wynne Evans and Katya Jones have got their sparkle back.
The duo — stung by the backlash to their grope “joke” — were spotted laughing in Cardiff on Wednesday.

The pair appeared downcast just 24 hours before[/caption]
Women’s Aid had slammed them for saying it was an in-joke when Wynne grabbed Katya’s waist on Saturday night’s show.
The domestic abuse charity said: “Inappropriate behaviour towards women is no joke.”
Women’s Aid added: “With an epidemic of misogyny and violence against women and girls in the UK, we need a media culture where women feel safe to speak up, where sexually inappropriate conduct is not trivialised or joked about.
“It’s important we challenge inappropriate ‘jokes’ so we don’t continue normalising toxic attitudes that cultivate these forms of gender-based abuse.”
The pair are training in Cardiff, where Wynne presents the BBC Radio Wales lunchtime show.
