Check price on AmazonHow to spot a real Black Friday deal
Not every “deal” is a deal. Some prices go up in October just so they can come down in November. Here’s how we check:- Check the price history. Free tools like CamelCamelCamel or Keepa show what a product cost over the last few months. A real deal is lower than the usual price, not just lower than the “List Price”.
- Clip the coupon. Many beauty products have a coupon checkbox under the price. It stacks with some deals.
- Try Subscribe & Save. For things you use up, like cleanser or shampoo, Subscribe & Save can take another 5 to 15% off. You can cancel any time.
- Watch out for sellers. Buy from the brand’s own Amazon store or “Ships from and sold by Amazon” to avoid fakes.
- Use a list. Add the products you want to an Amazon list now. Then you can check them all in one place when the main sale starts.
