In Germany, and by extension the EU, we have a website called “geizhals”, which basically translates to “penny-pincher”.
It is an insanly good tool to find the specific item you’re looking for and where to buy it for the least amount of money. Its got a pretty robust search, and some of the most comprehensive filters I’ve ever seen. When I cant find what I’m looking for using Amazons search, which is nearly always, I use their site instead.
Only real downside (for me) is when stuff isn’t listed on there. They probably collect data and stuff, but they also provide a useful service in return.
While writing this I have also noticed that they offer the same thing called “skintflint” for the UK. Maybe something similar exists for ppl. in the U.S. ?

Oh wow, I visited, and instead of the usual cookie popup (where you have to click to accept all cookies or customise them), it put a little box in the corner saying “Do not track mode detected. Storing only strictly necessary cookies.” which then automatically closed!
My browser often detects and auto-fills the more common cookie dialogs for me, but this is the loveliest cookie experience anywhere.
I randomly decided to pretend to want a new mobile - RELEVANT filters that ACTUALLY FILTER!
Thank you so much for this recommendation.
