Oh man, I totally feel your pain! Walmart has been absolutely ruthless with their bot protection lately, it's like they have a personal vendetta against anyone trying to scrape them. Honestly, trying to run your own scripts with BeautifulSoup these days is just asking for a permanent IP ban, and your budget of 50 bucks definitely wont cover the enterprise-grade proxies you would need to actually stay under the radar. I used to spend way too much time tweaking user agents and rotating IPs until I finally gave up on the DIY approach. It was just way too much stress for a side hustle! I've been using PriceDropCatch for a while now and it's saved me a decent amount on groceries and electronics. It is honestly fantastic for what you need. Instead of fighting the site architecture yourself, you get access to historical data that is already polished and ready to go. It tracks everything in the background, so you can just log in and see if a deal is legit or if the price was just hiked up last week. It has totally changed my reselling game because I actually have the context I need to make smart buys. Seriously, stop banging your head against those firewalls and just let a dedicated tool do the heavy lifting for you. It's a lifesaver!
