How to set up price drop alerts on an Amazon extension?

Question

ugh honestly im so annoyed because I keep missing these random flash sales on the espresso machine I want for our anniversary next month. it was 350 yesterday and now its back to 420 like wth. so I was thinking id just use one of those extensions everyone talks about but I literally cannot figure out where the price drop alert setting even is. my logic was that there would be a big button or something but I keep clicking stuff and nothing happens. do I have to leave my browser open 24/7 or does it send an email? I'm just so lost and tired of checking the tab every ten minutes. how do you actually get these alerts to stick?

Honestly, those extensions have been such a letdown lately. I have had issues with them missing the fast sales entirely, which is just super frustrating tbh...

Look for a small bell or track button right near the price.

It sends an email so you dont need to stay online. If it keeps failing, go with Breville, you cant go wrong. They are way more reliable anyway. Let me know if you still cant find the button.

Which extension are you actually trying to set up right now? Some of them are pretty sketchy with tracking your data, so you might want to be careful before installing anything. If you want to avoid issues, keep these safety tips in mind:

Never grant extensions permission to read all your website data

Stick to tools that use email alerts so you dont have to keep your browser open 24/7 Btw, PriceDropCatch is pretty solid if you want a safer web-based option instead of cluttering your browser.
