There are lots of price search engines that show price histories for products via graphs, which can help you visualize what a product is really worth before you jump on a so-called deal. Why pay full price for something when you don’t have to?
And that’s never more true than on Amazon. If you’re a frequent Amazon shopper, you owe it to yourself to always look at a product’s price history before checking out—and you can do that with CamelCamelCamel.
CamelCamelCamel is a simple website where you can paste the page URL for an Amazon product into the search bar at the top (or type in a product’s name and select from a list of suggestions). You’ll then get a graph that shows the history of its prices for Amazon, New, and Used listings (i.e., third-party sellers). You can also change the date period to show prices from 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months ago.

Using this graph, you can see what a true “deal” price is for any given product. And what’s nice is that CamelCamelCamel lets you set price alerts for specific products, so you’ll get notifications when the price of something you want drops below what you’re willing to pay for it.
To make things easier on yourself, consider installing the Camelizer browser extension, which offers all the same features but is more convenient to use. All you have to do is visit the relevant Amazon product page and click the extension button. The Camelizer is available for Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, and Safari.
