Amazon Prime Day 2022: what is CamelCamelCamel price tracker and how does it help shoppers?

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is starting tomorrow (July 12 - 13) which sees two days of deals for Amazon shoppers to snap up.

The 48-hour sale event offers savings across tech, kitchen appliances, gaming, laptops, TVs, beauty products and so much more. With some big discounts on well known brands such as Shark, Apple and Rimmel, it's very easy to get lost in all the excitement.

It's important to check the price history of a product to work out whether you're actually making a saving at all before you decide to purchase the product. Of course, that isn't easy with an overwhelming website like Amazon, but luckily, there's a handy web tool that can help.

Not many people know about CamelCamelCamel, which is a web tool that lets you check how much Amazon products have been sold for previously. The free Amazon price tracker site lets you see a price history chart which highlights when the particular product was cheapest and by how much.

If you find that your product has been advertised at the same price in the months prior to Amazon Prime Day, then flag this item as low priority for your seasonal shopping. This will help other shoppers when trying to bag a deal.

Sometimes, a particular product you've been looking at may be listed as the same price on a non-discounted day, meaning you're not making any savings at all. The chart is a handy way of finding out whether an item is worth your money on Amazon Prime Day.

Sign up for the website is free, once signed in you'll be able to see a list of all the top Amazon price drops, daily drops, and weekly drops by percentage. With Amazon devices being increasingly popular during Prime Day, CamelCamelCamel is a great way at finding out when is best to purchase your gadget.

For example, according to the website, the Amazon Echo Dot 4th generation was at its lowest price in April at £24.99, but is now available for £19.99 in an Amazon Prime Day deal making it well worth it. Its average price is around £40 according to the site, meaning shoppers are saving half price.

You can also add alerts on price watches if there's a particular product you're after, and view popular products too. Add CamelCamelCamel as a browser extension here.
