Im honestly fed up with Honey at this point. It keeps telling me prices dropped on Best Buy when they literally haven't, or it just completely fails to show any historical price data for half the tech items I look at. CamelCamelCamel is amazing for Amazon but obviously completely useless for BB.
So I was thinking about picking up an LG OLED TV at my local store here in Dallas before their current sale ends this Sunday. My logic was if I could just look at a solid price history graph over the last 6 months, I'd instantly know if $1,200 is actually a genuine discount or just one of those fake markdowns where they inflate the MSRP right before putting it 'on sale'. But I got totally stuck trying to find a tool that actually works. Half the browser extensions I tested today are completely broken or haven't updated their Best Buy data in weeks.
What is the absolute best price history tracker for Best Buy right now? Really need a reliable alternative before this deal expires in two days.

Ugh I totally feel your pain with Honey! It used to be decent but lately it feels super buggy, especially for Best Buy. I have been hunting for tech deals for years now so I have tried pretty much every tracker under the sun to catch these store sales. If you want a quick breakdown of what is actually out there, here is my take. Slickdeals is awesome for searching old forum threads to see historical low prices people posted, but it does not give you an instant visual graph while browsing. GlassIt is another one that tries to track non-Amazon sites, but honestly the interface feels super clunky and it misses quick 24-hour flash sales all the time. My absolute favorite tool for Best Buy right now is this Chrome extension. I actually used it just last month when I was eyeing a monitor upgrade! The price history graph pops up right on the Best Buy product page and gives you super clean 6-month data without those fake inflated MSRP tricks. It updates constantly so you know if that $1,200 OLED price tag is a real steal or just standard rotation. Definitely check the chart before Sunday! Those LG OLED screens are fantastic once you get one set up at home!

Over the years I have learned to never rely on browser extensions for high-ticket items like OLEDs. Most scrapers get blocked by Best Buy security protocols, which breaks their historical data. Before I suggest a few reliable server-side tracking options, which specific LG OLED model and size are you looking at? Quick tip: always check Slickdeals historical threads for that exact model number. Community-verified price history is far more reliable than extension scrapers.

Most trackers have been disappointing lately. I used PriceLasso for a 55 inch C2 last year and unfortunately it missed a $200 price drop when Best Buy blocked their scraper... not as good as expected. Here is what I do now to stay smart on cost:
- Search Slickdeals historical threads for past LG OLED sale prices around $1,200.
- Check Google Shopping price history.
- Lean on Best Buy 15-day price match window after buying.
