This looks pretty cool.

Thanks for doing this for the past twelve years! Although I've only been using it for the past twelve minutes. :)

Your 'about' page says: "The primary feature of our site is the sending of email alerts when prices change. The user simply sets a price threshold at which alerts are generated, and we email you when that condition is met."

Just to confirm, the "price threshold" mentioned will trigger a set alert when the price is at or below the threshold. Is that correct or will it only alert when the exact price is found?

Thanks again for your very useful site!

At or below, yes. When it passes the threshold. It’s kind of the definition of “threshold”, if you think about it.
That makes sense, and that's what I figured -- as I mentioned.

Thanks.

It would be nice if I could sort by price/prime availability, and get prices for Amazon Pantry items.

But I haven't contributed to this and it's provided as a free service, so that's not a complaint, just an observation/suggestion.

What the site does already is fabulous and I do appreciate it!
