Don’t you hate it when you buy an item and a few days later that same item goes on sale? A new shopping service called Slice now keeps track of all of your purchases and sends you notifications when the price of an item you purchased drops, so you can contact the retailer and get a refund for the difference. Pretty cool.
After creating a free account on GoSlice.com, Slice keeps track of your online purchases by gathering all of your electronic receipts in one place, no matter where you made the purchase from. Rest assured, CEO Scott Brady informed us that the entire process is secure, and Slice won’t release your information or delete emails. At the moment, Slice is available to Yahoo! and Google mail users, and Brady says they’re looking to expand to support other email providers.
Slice’s site will look familiar to Mint users and we found it just as easy to use. Slice keeps track of how much you’re spending an provides you with other information that can save you time and money. Aside from the organizational and money saving perks, Slice also automatically tracks packages that are en route to your house so you don’t need to dig through your inbox for tracking numbers. Your packages are all displayed on an overlay of a U.S. map, which we found incredibly helpful.
Brady says Slice supports 95% of purchases and the rest can be forwarded to include them in your account.
If you’re on the go, Slice recently released an iPhone app that provides push notifications for your packages along with Slice’s core organizational features. It’s all that the site provides right at your finger tips and it’s just as easy to use.
Android users — don’t fret! Brady informed us an Android version is on the way.
