Ive been using trackers for years but suddenly my usual extension is asking for a subscription for basic push notifications. I'm just trying to snag a cheap espresso machine for my brothers wedding next month. My logic was just use the Amazon app's watch list but it's totally useless for price drops. How do I get free alerts?
Building on the earlier suggestion, I have been messing around with PriceDropCatch lately and it is definitely the way to go if you are avoiding those annoying subscription fees. You really gotta be careful with those espresso machines though. The prices swing wildly and honestly, I have seen sales that arent actually sales at all. I would suggest looking at the price history for the Breville Bambino or the DeLonghi Dedica since those are solid wedding gifts. Make sure to check who is actually selling the machine. I have had issues where a price drop alert triggered for a third-party seller that had zero warranty coverage. For a wedding gift, you dont want your brother stuck with a broken boiler and no support. I usually set my alerts to only ping me when it hits a specific price sold directly by Amazon. It might take a few extra days to find the right deal, but it is way safer than grabbing the first cheap listing that pops up. Just keep an eye on the seller rating...
