Like someone mentioned, Walmart's local pricing is a total nightmare to track. Most people dont realize that their pricing logic changes depending on your specific Chicago zip code, so a general price tracker usually fails. The technical reason Honey fails is because Walmart's bot protection flags their scrapers, causing those massive delays you're seeing. Just a few things to watch out for:

• Avoid extensions that ask for read and change all data permissions.
• Local inventory trackers are often estimated and not real-time.
• Watch for apps that hammer your CPU in the background. I'd suggest looking into BrickSeek for the local inventory side. It is still way more reliable for local store stock than any browser extension. Ngl, sometimes the best way is just setting a keyword alert on a deal forum and letting the community do the heavy lifting for you.

Regarding what #1 said about "Honestly, I've been around the block with these..."

• I totally agree. I spent months trying to snag a mountain bike last summer and realized most extensions are basically spyware anyway. The technical side is a headache because Walmart updates prices based on your local IP, so I usually just check inventory manually since those scripts cant handle regional store data well.

Nice, didn't know that

Building on the earlier suggestion, I have to say I am dealing with the exact same headache right now. Honestly, it is so disappointing how most of these tools just cant handle Walmarts site speed. I am trying to track a different Ninja model for my kitchen and every single instant alert I get is basically useless because the deal is gone by the time I click. The performance is just not as good as expected, you know? Im not 100% sure, but I think someone told me that certain browser-based monitors might be better than the big apps because they run on your own IP? IIRC, they mentioned something about page monitors that check for visual changes rather than price data, but I havent figured out how to set that up yet. Not sure if that would even help with the local Chicago inventory tho... Walmart is just such a beast to track. Fingers crossed one of us finds a fix soon because this is getting exhausting!

Honestly, I've been around the block with these trackers since the early days too, and Walmart is notoriously finicky to track compared to Amazon. In my experience, most of those chrome extensions just drain your battery or sell your data without actually catching the price drops in time. Over the years, I've tried many that promised the moon but delivered nothing but bugs. For that Ninja machine, I'd suggest checking out Capital One Shopping or setting a specific alert on Slickdeals. Since you are moving to Chicago—which isnt cheap, ngl—every dollar counts. Capital One is pretty reliable for Walmart specifically and their mobile push alerts are way faster than Honey ever was. I hate paying full price for kitchen gear too, especially when you know the sales are coming... just make sure the notifications are set to instant because those espresso machines sell out fast when the price hits that sweet spot.
