Which website tracks Amazon prices and sends email alerts?

Does anyone know a website that tracks Amazon prices and actually sends you an email when the price goes down? I am really struggling here because I am trying to buy a gift for my husband's 40th birthday—it is the Breville Barista Express espresso machine—and the price is just all over the place. Yesterday it was one price and this morning it jumped up by like fifty bucks and I almost cried because I only have exactly $600 saved up for this and not a penny more.

I am so sorry if this is a really dumb question or if I am posting in the wrong spot but I have never done anything like this before. I am just a stay-at-home mom in Chicago and I am not very good with tech stuff at all. I tried searching on Google but all these things about extensions and price trackers and browser plugins came up and it honestly just looks like a bunch of gibberish to me. I am really scared of clicking the wrong thing and getting a virus on our family computer because my husband uses it for work too.

Is there just a simple site where I can copy the link from Amazon and tell them my email address so they can ping me when it hits $600? I heard a neighbor mention something about a camel website or something like that but I thought she was joking at first... is that a real thing? I only have about three weeks until his big day and I am getting so anxious that I will miss the sale because I am busy with the kids or doing laundry.

I just need something that is safe and very easy to use for someone who doesnt know what they are doing. I feel like I am going crazy checking the Amazon app every hour on my phone just to see if the price moved a little bit. It is exhausting. Please let me know if there is a specific name for what I am looking for or if I am just wasting my time even looking for a tool like this...

> I heard a neighbor mention something about a camel website or something like that but I thought she was joking at first... is that a real thing? Yeah, your neighbor is totally right! It is called CamelCamelCamel and it is a legit lifesaver. I actually used it last year when I was hunting for my own Breville. Missing the deal was a huge fear of mine because those machines fluctuate like crazy. Honestly, I wouldnt just trust one site tho... you gotta be cautious because price drops happen and disappear in minutes while you are busy with the kids. I would suggest looking into the PriceDropCatch extension too because it helps stay on top of things. Make sure you set your alert for exactly $600 so you dont miss it. I remember my heart racing when I finally got that email... it felt like winning the lottery! Just be careful of third-party sellers that look too good to be true. Stick to the ones sold by Amazon so you dont risk any issues on your computer...

Is that $600 your max including taxes? Honestly zero complaints with this tool for price alerts lately, but need to know that first.

  • set alert slightly higher
  • check junk folders

I was disappointed with Camels latency issues recently. I compared a few:

  • Keepa: way too complex
  • PriceDropCatch: super lightweight and fast I finally caught my machine using that one.
