It's not a Magic Trick, it's the Invisible Hand!

So I'm super excited this morning because I found out one of my favorite web browser extensions is also now mobile! Before you buy one more thing online (or on your smartphone), you need to download this!

It's called The Invisible Hand (yeah I know it’s a weird name), but it is very “handy” (see what I did there?) for online and mobile shopping.

Say you are searching for a Halo Sleep Sack for your little one. Just type it in your search engine, and it automatically searches the internet for you to see which website has it cheapest. It will pop up in your header and provide you with direct links, as shown below.

Sound cool huh? Well, it does have its glitches. It won't have results for absolutely everything. And it has its quirks...say you are searching for something that has multiple volume/size options...like, say, diapers...(which come in “jumbo” to “economy” and everything in between). The Invisible Hand knows you are searching for “Pampers Cruisers”, not necessarily “Pampers Cruisers, size 3, economy pack”. It may pull up the cheapest pampers it finds, which would most likely be a newborn jumbo pack of Pampers Baby Dry. Clearly not the same thing.

So, it’s not perfect, but still very useful. The first time we used this we saved $30 by buying our pack and play on Diapers.com vs. Target. And, since the only “work” it requires the initial download, it’s still worth the  5 seconds if it *only* saves you $30 once.

Usefulness: When it works properly, extremely useful!  

Ease of use:  Really can’t get any easier

Mobile-friendly: Yes! And you can even scan bar codes to search for the lowest prices!
