This system tracks what your bought, how much you spent, and when it will be delivered.  Ensuring your don’t forget a gift for cousin Agnes, that Grandma’s spoon rack will be delivered before Santa’s cookies are turned into crumbs, and that you won’t be paying off your holiday generosity through Mother’s day.  In fact, you may end up with more money in your account a few weeks into the New Year.  Price Drop Alert is a genius money-saving feature, it enables you to buy items whenever you want at any store (rather than waiting for a sale) and tells you if and when the item’s price is reduced. If it is, Slice guides you through a quick and easy refund.
