We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we'll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?

Get camel camel camel. It's a price tracker browser extension. You can set alerts and stock up on stuff when you need.

I was using camel for holiday shopping and it's where it really hit me hard how stupidly priced have risen in 3 years

I think ccc is why Amazon started doing all the "click here to save" boxes. I don't think ccc will track that, so it will never give true pricing data anymore.

Not sure about camelcamel, but I use Keeps and it has a price history chart so you can see the fluctuations of every product. They do go up and down like the stock market!

But more importantly, I set price alerts (same as camelcamel) and that really does make a massive difference. I've been doing it with grocery items lately, but even on high-value stuff that I'm willing to wait on can bring substantial savings.
