I have come across a seriously useful tool for Firefox and Chrome users. A simple plug-in that allows instant price comparisons to other sites when you are searching out bargains.
Would never take the results are final as it can be a bit hit and miss, so you should always do further research, but can certainly help stear you away from spending too much
Firefox:

Chrome:

Even gives you eBay results
Random example tells me that buying this laptop from Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/-/dp/B003UB3972
Would cost me £36.95 more than if I had gone to Dixons
http://www.dixons.co.uk/gbuk/product-04961613-pdt.html?srcid=369&xtor=AL-63
Or even more extreme, this TV from Curry's:
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/product-05270729-pdt.html?srcid=369&xtor=AL-1
Is £519.01 cheaper at Dixons thanks to the plug-in search:

Results appear as a yellow banner at the top of the screen.
