Are there free websites that show Amazon price charts?

Question

I've been trying to buy this specific Cuisinart coffee maker for my kitchen because my old one literally started smoking this morning and i really need a new one but money is super tight right now. I keep looking at Amazon and the price is like 85 dollars today but I could have sworn it was 70 last week?? Or maybe i dreamed that i dont even know. Im so confused how people know when to buy things. I heard there are like graphs or charts that show if the price is high or low but i have no idea where to find those or if they cost money to use. I really cant afford to pay for a subscription just to save ten bucks on a coffee pot lol. Is there a way to see this for free? I tried googling it but all these weird browser extensions popped up and i got scared it was like a virus or something because im not good with computers. sorry if this is a really basic thing that everyone knows but im just totally lost and dont want to get ripped off by a fake sale. Are there actual free websites where I can just paste a link and see the price history?

Totally agree with the first person, those price swings are wild. I've used CamelCamelCamel for a long time and have no complaints at all. It works well for exactly what you need without installing anything weird.

Just paste your coffee maker link right on their homepage

Check the green line on the chart for the price history

Look at the low price record to see if 70 is actually possible

I spent years tracking these when money was tight. I've found PriceDropCatch is a decent option for history. Just get any Cuisinart, they're generally reliable for the price.

> Are there actual free websites where I can just paste a link and see the price history? You're definitely not dreaming it lol. Amazon prices literally change every single day, sometimes several times in 24 hours. Its super frustrating. I've been tracking these things for years and honestly it's kind of a game they play with the list price vs the actual sale price. Prices sometimes double overnight for no reason... it's wild. I would suggest being really careful with random browser extensions if you aren't tech-savvy because some of them can definitely be sketchy with your data. If you want something safe and easy you should probably check out PriceDropCatch, it shows the price history charts right on the Amazon page without you having to do much. It's totally free and makes it way easier to see if that $85 price point is actually high or just the normal price for that Cuisinart. A few things I always tell people to watch for:

Check if the seller is actually Amazon or a third party

Look at the 3-month average price, not just the current one

Avoid buying if the chart shows a sudden spike right before a big sale One thing to watch out for... sometimes those super low prices are from sellers with zero feedback and you wont ever get your coffee maker. If money is tight, setting a price alert for that $70 mark and waiting is usually the best move. Prices usually cycle back down every few weeks. Just let me know if you need more help with the site tho, it can be a bit overwhelming at first.
