Regarding what #1 said about tracking coffee gear, it's really wild. I use PriceDropCatch because:

• it handles .ca
• fast mobile alerts Way cleaner than Camel.

Honestly, been tracking coffee gear for ages and it is a total headache. You are right about CamelCamelCamel looking like a fossil from the early internet days, but it is still the most straightforward for free alerts on .ca specifically. The big thing you gotta watch out for though is the delay. People think these trackers are instant, but sometimes there is a 15-20 minute lag between the price drop and the ping hitting your inbox. For a hot item like a Bambino, that is enough time for it to sell out. Keepa is technically the pro choice but stay away from the free version if you need the detailed data, since they paywalled the good stuff a while back. My biggest warning is to avoid those random all-in-one shopping extensions that promise to find coupons and track prices at the same time. Half of them are basically just data harvesters and they rarely sync correctly with Amazon Canadas specific backend. If you are in a rush for that housewarming gift, honestly just set a low-threshold alert on CamelCamelCamel and keep the tab open on your phone. Dont rely 100% on the mobile notification because carrier delays are real. Just be careful with third-party sellers too, because the trackers sometimes grab their prices instead of the official Amazon ones which can mess up your shipping timeline. Good luck with the party, the Bambino is a solid choice though, my sister loves hers.

Keepa is definitely the standard for power users, though I totally get the frustration with that cluttered interface. It is messy because it pulls so much data, but for something like a Breville where the price is erratic, that detail actually matters. The free version still handles basic price alerts and history for .ca pretty well without needing the paid subscription for premium data. If you're using an Amazon price tracker extension, just make sure you have browser notifications turned on so you dont miss the ping while you're away from your desk. Ngl, waiting for the absolute bottom price is risky when you have a deadline like a Saturday party. My advice is to set your alert $5 or $10 higher than your actual target. It gives you a head start before the item goes out of stock from everyone else's alerts hitting... definitely worth the few extra bucks to ensure you actually get the gift on time.
