Spent $180 on a price tracker and it paid for itself in 3 weeks

I got roasted for paying for trackalerts instead of just bookmarking camelcamelcamel, but it caught a price drop on a $900 espresso machine I'd been watching for 6 months. The alert came in at 6am on a Tuesday and I snagged it for $720 before it sold out. Anyone else find that paying for a niche deal tool beats the free popular option when it's something you really need?

Honestly, the fact that it caught the drop at 6am on a Tuesday is what gets me. Who even checks for prices at that hour? That's when the good stuff hides, I guess. I've missed so many deals because they popped up in the middle of the night or while I was at work. Ngl, if you're chasing one specific big item for 6 months, that $180 is basically nothing compared to the $180 you saved. Most people just don't get how annoying it is to watch something for that long and then blink and miss it. Tbh, I'd probably pay just to get that early morning heads up instead of kicking myself later.
