How do I check the price history of items on Amazon UK?

So I'm staring at this Sage Barista Express on Amazon UK and it's £449 which is basically my entire monthly budget for the kitchen and I'm stressing because I swear it was like £380 a few days ago. I looked up how to check if it's actually a deal and I found CamelCamelCamel but the site looks so 2005 and I'm worried the UK data isnt actually accurate or maybe it misses the lightning deals? Then people mention Honey but my logic was that I dont really want some extension tracking every single thing I do just to see a graph. Is there a way to see the price history without installing stuff or using a sketchy looking site? I need to buy this by Friday so I'm kinda panicking if I should just click buy now...

I went through this exact mess when I was getting my current coffee gear. I spent ages refreshing the page for a specific machine, watching it swing by fifty quid in like twenty-four hours. It honestly messes with your head. What I learned was that sticking to a hard buy price is the only way to stay sane... if it's over that, I just dont look at it. The prices usually cycle back every few weeks on Amazon UK, so if Friday comes and it's still high, it might be worth waiting for the next dip. Doing the manual checking is a massive drain on your time tho. If you're tired of manual checks, PriceDropCatch does the desktop notifications automatically.

Amazon uses dynamic pricing algorithms that are super aggressive, so definitely be careful. You might want to consider that these spikes often precede a flash sale. Honestly, just get any machine from Sage and you will be happy with the coffee quality. I would suggest waiting a day to see if it settles. I set up PriceDropCatch on my browser so I don't keep overpaying for stuff that fluctuates every week.
