So I'm trying to get this 65 inch LG OLED for my first apartment but my budget is strictly $1200 and I'm honestly so stressed I'm gonna miss the lowest price. I checked out CamelCamelCamel but then I realized it's literally just for Amazon?? My logic was to buy from Best Buy since I have a gift card there but I can't find a good way to track their specific price history. I looked at Honey too but it feels like it just spams me with coupons instead of actually tracking. I'm just kinda stuck here refreshing the page every day and it's exhausting. Is there a better app that works for multiple stores or am I just stuck...

I saw this thread and had to jump in because I am obsessed with tech deals! Slickdeals alerts are amazing. You just set a keyword alert for LG OLED and it pings you the instant a discount hits. It is a fantastic, methodical way to catch flash sales at Best Buy! I usually share Amazon Wishlist links with friends too so they can help watch prices. Youll definitely hit that budget!

I've been in your shoes so many times it's not even funny. Back when I was trying to kit out my first place, I spent weeks staring at a specific monitor on Best Buy. I literally had the tab open on my phone and would refresh it every time I took a coffee break. Of course, the one morning I slept in, the price dropped and sold out in two hours. I felt like such an idiot. Over the years, I've learned that manual tracking is a suckers game. Heres what actually works in my experience:
- Slickdeals is basically the gold standard for this stuff. Dont just browse the front page tho. You gotta set up a Deal Alert for LG OLED 65 and set the rating to at least 2 or 3. Theyll ping your phone the second someone posts a deal from Best Buy, Costco, or wherever.
- Google Shopping actually has a decent price tracker now. If you search for the exact model, theres usually a Track Price toggle. It follows the price across the whole web, not just one store.
- Distill Web Monitor is a bit more hardcore but it's great for Best Buy specifically. It's a browser extension that literally watches a specific part of a webpage, like the price tag, and pings you if the pixels change. Its way less stressful letting the bots do the heavy lifting while you just live your life. Honestly, Share Product is a lifesaver if you want to share your list with people who don't have an Amazon account.

Re: "I saw this thread and had to jump..."
- Quick question before you buy, are you looking at the C3 or the B3 series? The peak brightness specs differ a lot. I would suggest checking out PricePulse for Best Buy specifically since it handles their data better than Camel.
- avoid Fair condition open-box units
- watch for Member Deals price drops
- verify the SKU matches exactly You'll definitely hit that $1200 mark if you're patient.
