  • Best Newegg Price Tracker

    I needed to upgrade my desktop’s RAM from 16 GB to 64 GB, and wanted to buy a replacement Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM from Newegg. I wasn’t in a huge rush to upgrade so I knew I could wait.

    I was curious if the price would drop, so created a price alert on PriceLasso, a Newegg price tracker for the Corsair RAM.

    I ended up getting it for $80 instead of the regular price of $149.99. Very happy I waited and my desktop is now blazing fast with the additional memory.

  • The Best Target Price Tracker

    I’m a huge fan of Goodles, the high in protein mac and cheese alternative, and Target tends to have some great deals. How do you optimize the purchase in bulk on Target.com to save money though?

    The Target online price tends to be the same as in store, at around $4, which is actually decent, but I have seen the price drop to $3/box and even $2.50/box, which for a 12 pack is $18 in savings!

    I set up PriceLasso on Target to price track the Goodles Cheddy Mac and wait for a price drop, which happened about 2 months in and I was very happy I did, saving $18 for a 12 pack.

  • The Best Home Depot Price Tracker

    While doing a home rennovation, I was waiting for the price of some appliances to drop, including a Thermador fridge, which I noticed could easily drop $250 to $300 on sale if I just timed it right.

    All I needed to do was sign up for PriceLasso, and set up an alert fo the products I wanted on Home Depot, which was super easy.

    Made tracking prices on Home Depot super simple and fully automated.

    Sure enough after about 3 weeks, the price of the the Thermador Masterpiece 36 in. 20.8 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator in Stainless Steel, Counter Depth went down by $300 , or about 10%, which was amazing to see and I snagged it for the new kitchen.

  • Walmart Canada Price Tracker

    If you have been looking for a price tracker for Walmart.ca the best one is PriceLasso’s Walmart Canada Price Tracker.

    PriceLasso supports price tracking on both Walmart US and Walmart Canada and is very simple to set up.

    You go to the Walmart.ca product page you want, and with the browser extension, you can click the green button to add an alert, which gets defaulted to 10% off.

    Then you wait to receive the Walmart Canada price drop alerts via email.

  • How to see Wayfair price history

    I needed to replace a 6 drawer dresser recently and Wayfair had the exact same dresser for about $50 less than Amazon.

    Because I was not in a huge rush (especially considering I’d have to assemble it myself, which can take half a day), I used PriceLasso, a Wayfair price tracker to notify me if the price dropped.

    I added the price drop alert to all the 4 different colors of the dresser – walnut, white, black, and chester brown, which created 4 different price alerts, because I noticed on Wayfair the dresser could be $20-$30 cheaper just depending on the color alone.

    I was only waiting a few days when the dresser’s price on Wayfair dropped from $450 to under $400 by over $50.

    I loved how PriceLasso could build a detailed Wayfair price history as well, showing a nice chart over time of the dresser price. Crazy to see that it could drop by over 10% in just a few days, but again not for every color on Wayfair.

  • The Best Wayfair Price Tracker

    If you’re looking to buy some new furniture for your home, it may or may not be an urgent purchase, and if you’re willing to wait a few weeks you can save 10-20% on Wayfair purchases.

    Using the PriceLasso Wayfair price tracker lets you easily add alerts on multiple Wayfair products, and just wait for them to drop in price.

    The default discount that PriceLasso sets is 10%, and you can adjust to any desired threshold. I like to set up the alerts ahead of Way Day, when there are really good deals sitewide on Wayfair. You can also see the fluctuations of prices in charts confirming if the price is actually low.

    It worked really well for me trying to buy a new bed frame on Wayfair. My patience was rewarded when a week later the price dropped by about 15%, which I have to admit seemed random, but probably a part of Wayfair’s price algorithms.

  • The Best Nordstrom Price Tracker

    I was recently looking to buy some items from Nordstrom outside of their normal sales. Specifically basketball shorts, work pants, and dress socks.

    After a few days of manually refreshing product landing pages, I found PriceLasso which tracks Nordstrom prices with email alerts when they drop.

    The alerts get default to 10% off on PriceLasso, but can be customized to any amount. I chose 30% to make sure it was a really good sale and avoid any Nordstrom false positives.

    I got my first alert a few days later, which I wasn’t expecting, since I thought price adjustments happen far more rarely outside of the Nordstrom Anniversary sales.

  • Chewy Price Tracker and pet food inflation

    The inflation you usually read about is for grocery food products like eggs and milk, but I was curious what it looked like for pet food as well.

    Turns out the same kind of inflation is present in pet food as well.

    I used PriceLasso to track Chewy prices, which is one of the most popular online pet food stores. I just had to add individual products and it price tracked for me.

    What I found was actually very similar to this chart by FRED for pet food prices (though mine included more luxury food brands, and was specifically for dog food).

    Since 2020, prices to 2025 increased by 20%+.

    Sidenote: inflation affects most product categories, but some more than others.

  • The Best Lululemon Price Tracker

    Lululemon makes high quality products. I previously had the same pair of Lululemon swim trunks for nearly 8 years and wanted to buy a new pair. I was checking out the We Made Too Much sales at Lululemon, but definitely became tiresome.

    I then used the PriceLasso Lululemon price tracker to automate the process for me and in a few weeks the price of the swim trunks dropped below my price threshold and I got an alert.

    Definitely worth the wait and way better than manually checking Lululemon’s website.

  • The Best Zappos Price Tracker

    Zappos is one of the only online shoe stores that has exactly the width and size of shoe I want. What’s especially interesting is how often Zappos has price changes. Since I buy the same pair of shoes to stock up, I can wait a few months for the price to drop.

    I set up the PriceLasso Zappos price tracker to notify me when the price decreases below 25% off, and the waiting game began. It took a few months for my favorite pair of Nike shoes to drop but I was elated when it finally happened!

    It also didn’t happen during a normal Zappos sale, just out of the blue, but I couldn’t complain too much with such a steep discount.
