    Although they’re available you don’t need an extension or app. They have a website where you can view price history and set email alerts. It works great, I’m still getting price alerts I set up years ago.

    I just found a Firefox extension for myself. I can’t speak for other browsers.

  I was using camel for holiday shopping and it’s where it really hit me hard how stupidly priced have risen in 3 years

  I think ccc is why Amazon started doing all the “click here to save” boxes. I don’t think ccc will track that, so it will never give true pricing data anymore.

  Not sure about camelcamel, but I use Keeps and it has a price history chart so you can see the fluctuations of every product. They do go up and down like the stock market!

  But more importantly, I set price alerts (same as camelcamel) and that really does make a massive difference. I’ve been doing it with grocery items lately, but even on high-value stuff that I’m willing to wait on can bring substantial savings.
