Pricehistory lets you see what's been sold for a cheaper price by Argos

Last week, shoppers accused Argos of pushing up its toy prices before it's popular 3 for 2 sale.

And if you're worried  will help you work what's a bargain and what's not.

It tracks data for all the items on the Argos website.

You can set-up price alerts so you can see when is the best time to buy and the site has a section which shows what items have been reduced each day.

We had a quick look on the site - and found some big items that had been sold cheaper before.

Argos is selling the Complete Barbie Home Set for £59.99.

The Complete Barbie Home set is currently on sale for £59.99 - but it was on sale for £34.99 last year

But a glance at the website found it was being sold in January 2016 for just £34.99 - a difference of £25.
