Is there a browser extension to track Office Depot price history?

Question

I need to stock up on printer paper and toner for a client project starting next Thursday, budget is super tight at $150 max. Office Depot has what I need but their prices fluctuate like crazy every couple days and Im panicking Im gonna buy right before a big sale. I tried using Honey but it doesnt really show a proper price history graph for Office Depot, just coupon codes. I also looked at Capital One Shopping and Karma, but I cant tell which one actually tracks OD price history over time like CamelCamelCamel does for Amazon. Is there a browser extension that actually gives you an Office Depot price graph, or which of these is best?

Unfortunately, no extension tracks Office Depot price history accurately like CamelCamelCamel.

Avoid Capital One Shopping; I had issues with inaccurate OD history graphs.

Set up Google Shopping price alerts instead.

Jumping in real quick. Before I give you the exact technical workaround, quick question: what specific printer model or toner SKU are you trying to buy? The scraping specs vary quite a bit depending on whether it is an OEM cartridge or a store brand bundle. Here are a few technical cautions to keep in mind:

Avoid relying on extensions like Karma for real-time OD graphs. Their backend scrapers mostly pull cached HTML, missing rapid pricing shifts.

Be careful with auto-coupon tools. They frequently overwrite cookies and break Office Depot price-match eligibility. Honestly, I have been super satisfied using custom Webhooks via ChangeTower to monitor DOM element changes on OD pages. It works well for tight budgets and I have zero complaints. Happy to help you set that up if you want!
