Pro tip: price tracking apps beat my old bookmark routine

I used to keep a folder of online tabs for stuff I wanted and just check them every other day, waste of time honestly. Then I set a price alert on a tool I needed, a cordless drill that was $89, and it dropped to $54 on a random Tuesday afternoon. The app did the chasing for me and I finally grabbed it without obsessing over the page. Anyone else switched to alerts and now buy stuff way below the usual sticker price?

Wait, $54 for that drill? That's a massive drop, I mean 35 bucks off the sticker price is huge. That's like the difference between a nice dinner out and a cheap burger, you know? I honestly thought those alert apps only caught like small little 5% dips, not a full on clearance event. It's wild to me that the price just randomly tanked on a Tuesday, of all days, like the algorithm just forgot to be watched or something. Now I'm kind of annoyed at all the stuff I overpaid for before I knew this trick, that drill paid for the app's effort in one go.
