Hunting for bargains doesn't have to be difficult. Whether you're after a price match on something, or holding out for the lowest possible price before you buy, there are plenty of extensions and tools that track prices and tell you when to strike. This week, we want to know which ones you think are the best.


Whether you're tracking prices at Amazon, across the web as a whole, or at some other select group of retailers, the best price tracking tools let you paste in a link and watch its price over days or weeks to find out when the best time to buy really is. Some even have historic data to help you watch for patterns. Which ones do you turn to when you go deal hunting?

Let's hear your vote in the discussions below! To cast your vote, follow these guidelines:
