      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’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.

        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 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.
