Trying to grab this TV for my kids dorm before move-in next week but the walmart prices keep jumping $50 every day and its driving me nuts. I saw Keepa but thats just for Amazon and Honey doesnt show history charts for what I need. Is there a legit extension that actually monitors walmart prices specifically...
I went through this mess with a mixer last year. Walmart is tough with those price swings. I found Capital One Shopping to be a decent option because it felt safer than other tools.
Like someone mentioned, Walmart's pricing engine is just a mess. Honestly, I've had some pretty bad luck trying to find a tracker that actually works consistently without being a total privacy nightmare. Last year I tried to grab a cheap laptop for my nephew and used a few of the lesser-known extensions, but they were super disappointing. Half the time the alerts were late or the price they showed was for some weird third-party seller instead of Walmart itself. Ngl, it's exhausting checking every morning. If you're being cautious about what you install, here is the reality of what I found:
> Regarding what #2 said about "Like someone mentioned, Walmart's pricing engine is just..." It really is a dumpster fire behind the scenes, but honestly I've been super satisfied with my current setup lately. It works well and I have no complaints as long as you're careful. Before I give you the full breakdown, which specific TV model are you tracking? Some SKUs behave differently because of how Walmart handles their inventory data, so that really matters for the tracker accuracy. One big warning tho: be extremely careful with extensions that demand permissions to read and change all your site data. A lot of them are basically spyware disguised as price trackers. Also, check if the TV is actually sold by Walmart or a third-party seller. Those third-party prices fluctuate way more and standard alerts might miss them. Tracking their backend is a bit of a chore but its totally doable if you're smart about it.
