How to not get played

Four ways a “deal” is not a deal.

  • The was-price is inventedIf the higher price only ever appeared for one week, the discount is decoration. Check the price history.
  • The bundle hides a filler itemSix-piece sets often carry two pieces nobody uses. Price the two you want separately first.
  • Shipping eats the savingEspecially on international orders. Compare the delivered total, not the listing price.
  • The code is a redirectIf a code only works through one dodgy aggregator, skip it. Buy from the retailer directly.
