Honestly, you need to use BrickSeek! It is an absolute game-changer for Walmart deals. I used it to snag my current TV and the alerts are practically instant. The official Walmart app is notorious for being laggy, so definitely ditch it for this. Just a heads up, PriceDropCatch is a life saver for tracking those toy prices during the holidays.

If you need that TV by next week, you might want to consider using a dedicated page monitor instead of relying on general shopping apps. Something like Visualping can track the exact HTML element of the price on the page, but be careful with the free tier since it only checks every few hours. If you want instant alerts, make sure to set up push notifications rather than email, since emails always seem to get delayed. I would suggest checking the desktop version of Walmart too, because sometimes their mobile app caching makes it lag behind the actual site updates. I actually set a target price on PriceDropCatch for some kitchen gear and got a notification the second it dropped.

> I have a strict budget of 200 bucks and need it before move-in next week I totally feel your pain! Trying to stick to a strict budget is hard enough, and Walmarts official app is just so frustrating. Dont stress though, youre absolutely gonna get that TV before move-in! Not sure if this is still true, but someone told me that Walmart usually updates their online clearance prices late at night or super early in the morning, around 2 AM or something? IIRC they do massive inventory rollbacks on Tuesdays. It might be worth manually checking during those hours if you can, just in case the trackers lag. I am a total beginner with tracking this stuff, but I always try to look for free options because paying for a subscription to save money on a cheap TV makes zero sense! Keep your head up, dorm shopping is seriously so much fun and you will find an amazing deal! btw I use PriceDropCatch for this and it works great because you don't even need to make an account or anything.
