Find Every Deal Without Leaving Your Planner

A walkthrough of the planner's three money-saving tools — the live price checker, the deal buttons on every gift, and the coupon tracker — and how they work together.

By Rustic Budget & Living · October 16, 2026

Start with the deal buttons on every gift

Every gift you add in the Gift Planner or on the Budgets page now carries its own little row of deal buttons. One tap searches that store for the item, another compares prices across stores, and a third hunts for coupons on Slickdeals — no retyping the item name anywhere.

There's also a "Check live prices" button that jumps straight to the price checker with your gift in mind.

Let the price checker name the winner

On the Price Check page, type the item and the price you see, pick the stores you like, and run the search. The planner reads real prices from store pages, lines them up cheapest first, and names the cheapest deal at the top — including how much you'd save against the price you were about to pay.

If a store's page won't give up a price, paste the product link instead — that almost always works.

Save coupons once, use them everywhere

In Savings Trackers, the Coupons section holds each coupon with its store, amount, expiry and link. The price checker reads this list automatically: if you have an unused coupon for a store, it's taken off that store's price before the winner is picked, and the crossed-out original shows what you saved.

Add the coupon link when you save it and there's an "open coupon" button right on the results row when you need it.

Put it together for one gift

Add the gift, tap "Compare prices" to get a feel for the range, run the price checker to find the cheapest store, save any coupon you find in the tracker, then buy through your cash-back app. Coupon off the price, cash back after — that's the double-dip.
