I'm finally moving out of my parents house next month and I am trying to budget for a decent espresso machine, specifically that Breville Barista Express. I've been watching it for a bit but the price just shot up by like 120 bucks since Monday and I'm honestly so annoyed lol. I really dont want to overpay if it goes on sale every other month since my total budget for the move is pretty tight.
I tried looking into this stuff and found CamelCamelCamel but honestly the website looks so old and kind of sketchy? I dont know if it still works well or if the data is actually live or if it misses those lightning deals that happen for like two hours. Someone else told me about Honey but they keep trying to force me to install an extension on Chrome and I really dont want more bloatware on my laptop if I can help it. I just want a simple website where I can paste the link and see a graph of what it cost over the last year or so.
Are there any other tools that are better for this or more modern? Or is CamelCamelCamel actually the best one even if it looks ancient...

You might want to consider using the web version of Keepa instead of Camel. It is way more detailed and shows shipping costs plus used prices, which is super important for big appliances like a Breville. Be careful though, the interface can be a bit overwhelming at first.
- Keepa: Basically the industry standard. You dont need an extension to see history on their site.
- PriceBefore: This one is very simple. You just paste the URL and it gives you a clean chart without any of the bloat. I would suggest setting a price alert because that specific machine fluctuates like crazy. Just make sure to verify if the seller is actually Amazon or a random third party before you buy. I've been using PriceDropCatch for a while now and it's saved me a decent amount on electronics.
