I use this to cut through the bullshit of Prime Day deals or Black Friday. It shows you the historical price of a product.

I literally just used this site last week to set up a price alert for a purchase.

Noticed via their chart that the item I wanted to buy (an air purifier) went on sale every few weeks from $340 to $199. I set the alert for $200, and the next day it emailed me saying the price had dropped. Saved me 140 bucks which was awesome.

Works for Amazon.ca links as well.

Crazy how I have a bunch of alerts set up on here, prime day started and I didn’t have a single item drop in price.

Also I believe there is a browser plug-in for this as well to make it even easier to use.

I wanted to buy a soundbar, looked through all the prime deals and they were kind of meh. Then I checked CCC and saw there was a Sony one cheaper then normal and not even “on sale” or associated with their prime day event. So stupid, but I got my cheapish soundbar.

Same! I find the alerts come at times when there are no holidays or events. Like on a random Tuesday afternoon in the middle of June I get an alert that a game or movie is $20 when it’s been $40-60 the last 6 months. Prime Day comes around and it’s “on sale” for $55.

I’ll also come in just to mention the android app “TryCamel”. Being able to conveniently add things when on mobile was a game changer for me.
