Deal categories
Discounts behave very differently depending on what you are buying. Each guide explains how to read a sale in that category in South Africa, backed by the price history we keep.
Electronics is where a recorded low is most likely to be real; fashion is where the badge lies most often; jewellery carries the widest markups of all. Pick a category to see how its sales actually work, the genuine deals in it right now, and which stores it covers.
