Ugh so I am trying to buy this Ninja air fryer for my brothers housewarming next weekend and the price at Walmart just jumped up like 30 bucks overnight it is so annoying. I swear they do this just to put a fake rollback sticker on it later... so I was thinking how the heck do I actually see if this is a "good" price or just some weird spike?

My logic was to use something like CamelCamelCamel but obviously thats just for Amazon and doesnt help me with Walmart at all. Im torn between trying out the PricePulse app or just sticking with the Honey browser extension but Honey feels kinda hit or miss with the actual history charts lately. PricePulse looks okay but I dont really want to download another app if it is just gonna sell my data or something. I really need to stay under $100 for this gift because my budget is super tight this month and I dont want to buy it today if it was $20 cheaper last week.

Is there anything better for Walmart specifically that actually shows a long term graph? Like am I missing some secret site or should I just gamble on PricePulse or is there something else I should look at...

Hello, you can take a look at this chrome extension, it works for Walmart products:

In my experience tracking retail trends over the years, Walmart's pricing is incredibly volatile. I've tried many tools, but for consistency I think PriceDropCatch is worth a look for those specific air fryer graphs.

  • Not sure but I think their historical data is fairly deep.
  • Someone told me Honey's Walmart data has been lagging lately. It's always a gamble with their internal rollbacks, but checking there first might save you some cash.

Gonna try this over the weekend. Will report back if it works!

> PricePulse looks okay but I dont really want to download another app if it is just gonna sell my data or something. ^ This. Also, I would be cautious about downloading dedicated mobile apps just for a one-off purchase. Many of these tools basically monetize by tracking your behavior across other apps, which is a bit of a red flag for privacy. I have to politely disagree with the earlier suggestion regarding PriceDropCatch because its Walmart data can be hit or miss. Walmart pricing is technically complex because it often shifts based on your zip code and local warehouse stock... it isnt always a national price. For a more reliable look at history, I suggest Price.com. It functions as a web-based dashboard so you dont have to worry about app permissions, and their charts are generally more consistent. It is a safer, more methodical way to verify if that air fryer price is actually a deal or just a temporary spike.
