Does Walmart actually have a native way to notify me when a price drops on an item or am I just going crazy looking for a button that doesn't exist? I have been checking the app like a literal maniac for three weeks now because I really want that Ninja Creami Deluxe but the price keeps bouncing between $229 and $160 and every single time I see it at the lower price it sells out before I can even get through the checkout process. It is honestly so frustrating that a company as big as Walmart doesnt have a simple bell icon or something to ping my phone when a roll back happens.
I tried looking in my cart and my saved for later list but there isnt any toggle for notifications there and the help bot is absolutely useless it just keeps sending me to the generic shipping info page which has nothing to do with what I actually asked. Im trying to stick to a strict $150 budget for this since its a birthday gift for my sister in July and I already feel behind schedule but I cant sit and refresh the page every twenty minutes while I am at work. I live way out in a rural part of Ohio so Walmart is basically the only place I can get stuff delivered from reliably without paying a fortune in extra shipping fees so I really need this specific site to work for me.
Is there some hidden setting I missed in the account profile or is it just not a thing they do? I feel like I am doing a part time job just watching these price tags and it is starting to get on my nerves. If they dont have a native one are there any actual safe apps that work with the Walmart site specifically?
- No sketchy browser extensions
- Must work on mobile if possible
- Needs to be fast because these things sell out in minutes
I dont want to download some weird malware but I am desperate at this point because I just missed another roll back by like ten minutes this morning while I was driving. Seriously how do people catch these deals without staring at their screens all day... it feels totally impossible...

Ugh, I totally agree, it is so frustrating that Walmart is still stuck in the dark ages! You would think a massive company would have a simple alert system but nope... they really just want us glued to the app 24/7 which is honestly exhausting. I am super picky about what I download because so many tracker sites feel like total malware magnets!! You definitely need something fast though because those Ninja Creamis are basically gold right now and sell out the second that price drops. It makes total sense why you're sticking to Walmart for the shipping out in rural Ohio too. I actually found a safe way to track this without any sketchy browser extensions. Been using Price Drop Catch for a few months, it's free and doesn't need an account which is the main reason I stuck with it.

> If they dont have a native one are there any actual safe apps that work with the Walmart site specifically? Honestly, in my experience, Walmarts tech is just weirdly behind on the alert front. I have been tracking hardware prices for years and it is still a massive headache. Quick question tho, are you on iPhone or Android? It kinda changes which tools are actually stable enough to trust. I have tried many over the years and most are junk, but here are the main ones:
- Capital One Shopping: Usually the safest bet since it is backed by a major bank, tho it can be a bit laggy on mobile.
- Honey: Its okay, but sometimes the droplist feature misses those super fast windows you are dealing with. Basically, you want something that pings your phone directly rather than just sending an email that gets buried. I am always super cautious about permissions, so stick to the big name ones. Avoid the random browser extensions with like three reviews, they are basically just data scrapers.
