I'm finally moving into my new place in Austin next month and need a Breville Barista Pro so bad! I saw CamelCamelCamel tracks Amazon prices but then read a thread saying they miss lightning deals and coupons. My budget is $750 max... do these extensions actually save you real money or am I just wasting my time checking them?
Re: "In my experience, trackers are non-negotiable..."
In my experience, trackers are non-negotiable for gear like the Barista Pro. You just gotta use the right ones. Keepa is way more reliable than Camel for raw data and price history.
Oh they absolutely save you money, but you gotta know their limits. Over the years I've bought way too much espresso gear, and price tracking is the only reason my bank account isn't completely empty. You're right about CamelCamelCamel missing those quick lightning deals though. It's super frustrating when you miss a flash sale on a big ticket item like the Barista Pro. Honestly, I stopped relying on just one site. In my experience, using this Chrome extension works way better because it actually catches those weird hidden coupons and real-time drops that others miss. For a $750 budget, you can definitely score the Barista Pro if you're patient. These machines cycle through sales constantly, you just need the tracker to ping your phone the second it dips so you don't miss the window.
