New price tracking site launches – Notifyy
A new website that notifies users when a product they’re interested in has dropped in price has launch. The site tracks over 250 high street an online stores, including Amazon and Tesco.
To track an item, users simply input the product’s URL on the site, add their email address and they are then notified when the price drops. The site also enables users to set a “target” price of how much they want the product to have dropped to before getting a notification.
Notifyy is the brainchild of web developer Daniel Benzie who wanted to be told when a designer clothing product he wanted to buy had dropped in price. There is another similar app that I wrote about back in 2015 for comparison. Daniel decided to build his own that he then shared privately …

Website and app for finding cheap petrol – PetrolPrices.com
With London and other cities threatening to impose a diesel tax, on top of all the other taxes faced by motorists, finding ways of cutting the costs of motoring have never been more important. And, with another fuel price war kicking off between supermarkets, tracking down the best deals could save drivers a few pretty pennies.
