I use an extension for Chrome called Keepa that tracks and shows a price chart overtime products on Amazon.

It designed specifically for this problem and has saved me a good bit of money by keeping me from falling for these “ Amazon Day” scams

You can also set it to alert you when the price drops by a certain percentage that you get to set

Actually did find a good deal on dog food that we buy for our small dogs. Usually $43.00 a bag even at walmart . Can be found here much cheaper. So not all bad on primeday.

Seems like $279 for Apple Watch 11 is a whopping $20 off from what I normally see it at $299.

There are a few things I buy regularly that are cheaper than normal, but only minimally

My Prime Day is mostly vacuum cleaners and bluetooth speakers, even though those are 2 of the last things I'd ever get excited about buying.

I dumped Prime years ago, when they started charging for returns. Until then it was a great way to shop.

There is a reason CamelCamelCamel was released. In 2008.

So yes, Amazon and it's third party sellers take you for fools. OMG! It's 30% off! What a deal!

there's deals to be had on supplements like protein powder, shakes, vitamins etc but other than that it's not that great. i got a jackery power station on sale in the fall for 325 and it's on "sale" today for 400.

Yeah, the same. I’m sitting at home and realized I need pink electrical tape; it’s worth the two dollars to not drive to Home Depot.

I know this is a common criticism and not entirely without basis, but I think it's pretty overstated.

I can go on right now and see a bunch of stuff I look at a lot all at 20% or so off, maybe more, and I can price check it and see that this thing hasn't been at this price for 6 months, that thing for 4 months, whatever.

If you're looking for the all time or one year low, yeah, disappointing. But if you're waiting to grab a handful of things - often they'll all be at multi-month lows and very often competitive with longer term lows.

Just click the price history link and look

You can do this within the Amazon app now, too. I got an alert yesterday that the Community Breakfast Blend I normally order was below $25 for 2 32oz bags. You can also check the price history of a product up to 90 days back, which is helpful.
