Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the biggest shopping days of the year, with retailers offering more sales than ever before. Earlier sales periods provide more time to take advantage of the deals. The Verge has compiled a list of tips to help shoppers shop like pros during these events.
One suggestion is to use a price-tracking tool. CamelCamelCamel is a popular tool that tracks Amazon prices and sends alerts when an item reaches a customizable price threshold. The site also offers a browser extension called The Camelizer, which allows users to view pricing trends and set desired prices without leaving Amazon. Keepa is another price-tracking tool for Amazon that provides charts and pricing history, and it can send alerts via email, push notification, Telegram, or RSS.
Slickdeals is an aggregator of the best deals online, discovered by its team and community of users. Users can browse coupons, create deal alerts based on specific keywords, and filter out deals to receive notifications only when they meet certain criteria. Another useful tool is the built-in price history feature in Amazon's price tracker, which can be accessed through Edge or Google Chrome. Additionally, Amazon's AI chatbot, Alexa, can provide price history information for products.
