I take screengrabs through the year of products I’m interested in and keep records. So I tend to see when they raise their prices in early November, only to drop it to just above the original price for their Black Friday “deals”.
Really there needs to be changes in consumer law to tackle this. We either lost a bunch of legal protection after Brexit, here in the UK, or the retailers realise they can get away with it. Amazon is really bad at this. So are the really big tech retailers.

I dont need it, tbh. I’m interested in so little, LOL!
You don’t need to use it as an add-on. You can go to the website and set up a price drop alert for whatever it is you’re interested in.
There’s about 20 things at most that I’ll monitor over the year, so its really not worth the effort.
It’s pretty quick and easy, but that’s more than I’ve ever monitored in a year, so it would be more work for you than it has been for me.
Like I said, its about 20 things max. Really not hard to keep track.
There’s maybe 4 things I buy a year on Amazon. I set the price watch, when it hits the price I want I chick the link and buy it.
Not sure why you would need to buy more things to make it worthwhile.
