How to Set Up Price Alerts for Canadian Electronics
Never overpay again. Here's how to use TrackAura's free price alerts to get notified when products drop to your target price.
You found the product you want. You know the price is a bit high. But you don't want to check every day to see if it's dropped. That's exactly what price alerts are for — and TrackAura makes it free and easy for any product we track across Canadian retailers.
How Price Alerts Work
Every product on TrackAura has a "Set Price Alert" button on its page. Enter your email and your target price, and that's it. Our system checks prices every 4 hours across Canada Computers and Newegg. The moment the product hits your number, you get an email with the current price and a direct link to buy.
Setting a Realistic Target
The key to a good price alert is picking a realistic target. On every product page, you can see the full price history chart, including the lowest price we've ever tracked. Setting your alert at or slightly above the historical low gives you a realistic chance of getting triggered. Setting it way below the lowest tracked price means you might wait forever.
What to Set Alerts On
Price alerts work best for products where you're flexible on timing. Big-ticket items like GPUs, monitors, and laptops see the most price movement and the biggest absolute savings. A $50 drop on a $300 monitor is more impactful than a $5 drop on a $70 RAM kit.
The Price History Chart Is Your Best Friend
Before setting an alert, look at the price history chart on the product page. It tells you whether the product's price has been stable (in which case a big drop is unlikely) or volatile (in which case your alert might trigger soon). Products that have recently dropped are sometimes a sign that more drops are coming.
Alerts vs Checking Manually
You could bookmark the product and check back every few days. But in our experience, the best deals last hours, not days. By the time you manually check, the price may have bounced back. Alerts catch price drops in near-real-time — within 4 hours of the drop happening.
It's Free
There's no account required, no premium tier, no catch. Enter your email, set a target price, and you're done. We only email you when your alert triggers — no spam, no newsletters (unless you separately subscribe to our weekly deal digest).
Try It Now
Search for any product on TrackAura, check its price history, and set an alert at a price you'd be happy paying. The next time it drops, you'll be the first to know.
