Im so over trying to keep my lists organized and it is honestly starting to feel like a second job. I have like fifty things on my Amazon Buy Later list but half the time they are cheaper at Target or B&H and I keep losing track of where I saw what price. Its driving me crazy because I will buy something and then find out it was ten bucks cheaper somewhere else like an hour later. My logic was that if I have one master list I can just look at that one spot but actually finding a tool that works is proving impossible.
So I was thinking of moving everything to a third party app and I am torn between two or three options right now. I looked at GiftHero because it seems pretty straightforward and clean but I dont know if it actually syncs with Amazon in real time or if I have to manually add every single link one by one which sounds like a total nightmare. Then I saw Karma (I think it used to be Shoptagr?) and that one seems to track prices better across different stores which is what I really need. But then there is also the Amazon Assistant browser extension that lets you add stuff from other sites directly to your Amazon list. The last time I tried that it was super glitchy and didnt show the right price or the image was broken so I dont know if they ever fixed that.
I really need to get this sorted by next weekend because I have about $600 set aside for some home office upgrades—mostly a new mechanical keyboard and some cable management stuff—and I want to make sure I am getting the absolute best deal across Newegg and Best Buy too. Is Karma actually worth the hype for someone who shops mostly on Amazon but wants to price match elsewhere? Or should I just stick to a manual spreadsheet even though it takes forever? I just want one place where if the price drops on any site it updates everywhere... is that even a thing?
I went through this exact same nightmare when I was trying to kit out my studio last year. I thought I had found the perfect setup, but honestly, the whole experience was pretty disappointing and didnt work like the ads claimed.
