Shopping on Amazon UK is incredibly convenient—but did you know you could be missing out on extra savings? That’s where Honey comes in. This free browser extension, now owned by PayPal, helps you find voucher codes, track price history, and make smarter decisions on Amazon and beyond.
Here’s how to use Honey to unlock better deals while shopping on Amazon UK.
🛠️ What is Honey?
Honey is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. Once installed, it automatically scans the web for valid coupon codes and applies them at checkout. But on Amazon UK, Honey goes a step further.
Instead of applying promo codes (which are rare on Amazon), Honey compares seller prices, checks for better deals from other listings, and shows you the product’s price history—all without you lifting a finger.
🧭 How to Install Honey
- Go to joinhoney.com.
- Click “Add to Chrome” (or your browser’s version).
- Follow the prompts to install and pin the extension.
- Sign in or create a free account to enable full features.
Once installed, you’ll see the Honey icon appear in your browser toolbar. It will light up when you’re on a compatible shopping site.
🛒 Using Honey on Amazon UK
Here’s what you can do with Honey while browsing Amazon:
✅ 1. Compare Prices from Other Sellers
When you visit a product page, Honey automatically checks other Amazon UK sellers for lower prices—including those with different shipping options or used conditions. You’ll see a pop-up if a better price is found.
✅ 2. Track Price History
Click on the Honey icon on the product page to view the item’s historical pricing data. This helps you determine whether now is the right time to buy—or if it’s likely to go on sale.
✅ 3. Set Price Drop Alerts
If you’re not ready to buy, you can click “Add to Droplist.” Honey will notify you via email if the price drops within your selected time range (30, 60, or 90 days).
✅ 4. Earn Rewards with Honey Gold
When shopping on other supported UK retailers (like ASOS or Argos), you can earn Honey Gold—a cashback-style points system. While Amazon purchases don’t currently earn Honey Gold, using Honey across other sites boosts your overall savings.
💡 Pro Tips for Maximizing Honey on Amazon UK
- Be logged in to your Honey account to access full features like Droplist and Honey Gold.
- Combine Honey’s insights with Amazon’s Subscribe & Save or Lightning Deals for deeper discounts.
- Use the mobile app (available for iOS and Android) to track prices on the go.
🔒 Is Honey Safe?
Yes, Honey is owned by PayPal, one of the most trusted names in online payments. The extension does not store your personal payment information or passwords. You can review permissions during installation for full transparency.
🧾 Final Thoughts
If you’re shopping on Amazon UK regularly, installing Honey is a no-brainer. While it won’t flood your checkout page with coupons like on other sites, it excels at finding better Amazon sellers, tracking price drops, and helping you shop more wisely.
Best of all? It’s 100% free.
