TL;DR: Use BrickSeek for local stock and price data. I've been really satisfied with my current setup for tracking inventory across various zip codes. It works well and the data points are pretty solid for a free tool. I managed to grab all my outdoor gear last month using it without any issues. No complaints at all with how the desktop alerts fire off.

@Reply #1 - good point! I'm really satisfied with how that tool handles local inventory data without being sketchy. It works well and I've had no complaints about the accuracy so far. Just curious though, is the dining set you're eyeing sold directly by Walmart or is it a third-party marketplace listing? Some trackers struggle with the third-party stuff when zip codes start shifting prices.

^ This. Also, keep in mind Walmart uses dynamic pricing based on local inventory buffers. Over the years, Ive noticed prices swing because their system weighs stock levels against regional demand. BrickSeek is solid because it pings their internal inventory system directly, unlike standard scrapers that miss store-specific API calls.

• manually set your zip
• check late at night The data lag is minimal tho, so those alerts are basically your best bet.
