That's one of the things I felt Honey did well is show you how much something cost for the last 6 months when you're on the product page. You could see that they whacked the price up a week before black Friday to show you a "50% Off!" banner.
In the EU, the 30 day price history is required to be included by law
Where's it listed though? I've never seen that, either online or in physical shops. Some places have 'price last changed dd.mm.yy' written on the price tags, but it's far from universal, and doesn't say how much it was before.
It's required for digital goods I believe, but I'm not really sure.

Oh consumer protections, how I long for thee
There are other services that do that, Pricerunner for example
pricerunner is owned by Klarna, use pricespy or camelcamelcamel
What exactly is wrong with Klarna (besides the fact it's a fintech company)? It started popping up as an option recently whenever I buy something online.
CEO is a huge union buster in Sweden and also laid off all his support staff for AI.
Plus, they're loan sharks. They make money off of desparate people.
Genuinely the worst "Swedish" tech company, even worse than Spotify. (Their stocks are listed on the NYSE, so they're actually American companies americanifying Sweden)
Conflict of interest.
