How Tracking Amazon Prices Saved Us $40 on a Coffee Maker
There’s nothing better than having family over for the holidays—until your great coffee steals the show, and suddenly, everyone wants your coffee machine!
That’s exactly what happened when a family member visited and fell in love with our coffee maker. They decided to grab one for themselves, and naturally, we headed straight to Amazon.
But there was one catch—the price had jumped to $175.
I remembered paying way less for ours, so she held off on buying it right away. After a quick search, we decided to track the price and wait it out. A few weeks later, that same coffee maker dropped to $125—a solid $40 in savings.
The Power of Waiting (and Watching)
This experience opened my eyes to how Amazon prices fluctuate more than you’d think. Sure, there are sales events like Black Friday, but even outside those windows, prices rise and fall constantly.
For our family member, all it took was a little patience and price tracking to score the coffee maker at a discount.

Lessons Learned:
- Amazon prices aren’t fixed—they can change weekly or even daily.
- Tools like price tracking websites give you insights into past pricing trends to help make smarter decisions.
- Just because something is on “sale” doesn’t mean it’s at its lowest price.
