It watches prices on what I buy and pings me when to buy

Alongside a media tracker site he built for himself, he has it check in daily: local news alerts, and deal scans on the products he buys regularly, using price ranges he gave it, with a buy now alert when a price drops into range.

How it works

Daily check scans his regular products
Compares prices with his ranges
Sends a buy now alert when a price drops into range
Also sends local news alerts

Why it’s worth knowing

The alert is not the lowest price on the internet; it is his price, the range he set for things he already buys.
