I do a lot of my shopping online these days. Nothing irritates me more than completing a purchase, then finding the same item on another site, only cheaper! Of course, I price shop by comparison, but I just don’t have the time to visit twenty sites to check prices before I buy. Which is why I am excited about Digital Folio. Digital Folio is a FREE comparison-shopping app that finds and tracks price savings for automatically. It is compatible with Internet Explorer or Firefox on PCs or Macs. I currently prefer Firefox, which works out perfect. Digital Folio provides real time price comparisons, which nets real time savings! Talk about an intelligent shopping list!
For example, we are shopping for booster seats for the kidlets. The child safety seats they are in now have a five point harness and a 50 lb weight rating. Missouri law requires children to ride in a booster seat until they reach 8 years old or 80 pounds or 57 inches tall. Of course, I will keep them in a five point harness as long as physically possible, but at some point, we are going to have to move them into a booster seat that secures with the automobile’s lap belt.
To take the Digital Folio for a test drive, I added a couple of the booster seats that we are looking at to My Folio. It was really easy to do. In fact, I just went to Amazon, found the seat we are watching, and did a price comparison.
As you can see, Digital Folio highlights the lowest price. It compares the prices of major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Sears, Target, and Walmart, and prices of your saved items automatically update, even when you’re offline.. Digital Folio’s current product categories include Computer Printers, Personal Audio Players, Camcorders, Children’s Car Seats, Point ’n Shoot Cameras, Televisions, Computers, Blu-Ray Players, Refrigerators, Microwaves, Washers, Dryers, Dishwashers. According to Digital Folio, they always have new categories in the works. I hope those new categories include grocery and more kitchen items, such as bakeware.
I like the fact that I can share My Folios, either with friends by email or by Facebook. I shared my booster seat folio with a friend and my husband.

Thanks for letting us know! I could use it 🙂
Since money is tight, I have no choice but to price shop. This would make it so much easier.
Thanks for the info.
I was just trying to do some comparison shopping last night for my son’s swimming things (Jammers?) at school.
This sounds really cool. I love to comparison shop and this sounds like it makes it so much easier.
Looks like an easy way to comparison shop!
I havent tried this app, I normally stay with just a few places- Amazon is a huge favorite.
That’s cool! I bet it saves a ton of time price shopping.
what a great way to price compare!
Thanks for sharing! Definitely going to check out the party if I’m home. 🙂
that sounds really cool and a great way to compare
This sounds great! I buy online OFTEN and spend way too much time comparison shopping for my best price. I will definitely try this!
I’ll be checking this out, since I’ll be doing about 90% of my shopping online. Thanks for sharing!
It’s certainly worth trying out!
I love comparing prices for everything. I usually do groceries, but I love that this is another way to shop.
Oh I HATE that! Then I get the “I told you to shop around” comments from my husband and my father. This looks to be worth trying out. 🙂
Sounds like a great site.
