Im trying to get my apartment furniture sorted before I move in at the end of the month, but honestly, checking five different websites every single day to see if prices drop is driving me crazy. I have a tight budget for these pieces so every ten bucks counts, you know? I tried using Honey for a bit, but it only really pops up when I'm already at the checkout screen and half the time it doesnt even work with the smaller boutique stores I'm looking at. Then I saw some people online recommending CamelCamelCamel, but that seems to be strictly Amazon, which is annoying because I'm trying to avoid buying everything from there if I can help it.
Is there actually a decent site or app out there that lets you track specific items across different retailers? Like, something where I can just drop the link and it actually alerts me when the price changes? It would make my life so much easier since I still have to pack up my current place and figure out a moving truck. If you guys have used anything that isnt total junk or just trying to sell my data, let me know...

I totally feel your pain with the constant refreshing. Moving is already a nightmare without doing price surveillance full-time. Honestly, I stopped hunting manually a while ago because it just wears you out. Here is what I usually lean on:
- Visualping: You can set it to monitor specific parts of a webpage, like the price tag area. It basically takes a screenshot and pings you when it changes. It is super reliable but a bit technical at first.
- Keepa: Even if you are trying to avoid Amazon, it is worth looking at for price history trends so you know if a sale is actually legit or just a fake discount.
- this free wishlist creator: This is what I used when I moved last year. You just drop the links from wherever you are shopping and it keeps everything in one dashboard so you are not juggling tabs. It is not a magic fix for every tiny boutique, but it definitely keeps your sanity in check while you deal with the moving truck stress.
