I have Honey as an extension to Chrome which allows me to use it whenever I shop online. It's so automatic, I don't have to think about it and it searches for the best deal. A great tool to have and use. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Pros
Finds discount
Works automatically
Generates savings
Cons
I have trouble turning it off - its too automatic
Sometimes the competitor's product (Capital One) finds other discounts
Could offer to find discounts on more online purchases.

If you are buying online, Honey may be able to save you money. By using it as a Chrome extension, this can happen automatically. In recent months some new coupon searching services have arrived (Capital One), but to me, Honey is the "gold standard" by which others are compared.
I use Honey personally, but many of our leaders including myself have and do use Honey when purchasing rewards or gifts for their employees to make sure they are getting the best deals. Often times, budgets are tight and Honey allows leaders to get the best deals.
Pros
It is always there on the Chrome bar, which makes sure I use it even if i don't think about it
It does the searching for discount codes for me, which can save time and stress when digging through emails or trying to google for codes.
Cons
I don't like when it doesn't have any discounts for me, but then another company offers something like credit points through Honey.
Likelihood to Recommend
Honey is great for any situation where you need to purchase something online. I wouldn't think there are any of these types of situation where you would not want to use it. Its pretty much a no-brainer.
