How Jet sales really work

Jet is a value chain selling affordable fashion, footwear and basic homeware, so individual prices are low and the rand savings are modest by nature. The discounts are frequent, which again means the badge alone is not much of a signal.

At this end of the market the useful question is whether the item is at a genuine recorded low, because a few rand either way matters more on a low base. We keep the history so a R30 saving on a R100 item is shown for what it is, neither hyped nor hidden.

  • Savings are small in rand terms here, so buy on need rather than chasing a deep percentage.
  • Homeware basics give a cleaner price signal than fast-moving fashion.
  • A recorded low that has held is worth more than a fresh, large-looking markdown.

Questions people ask

Does Jet have genuine sales, or is the discount off an inflated price?

It varies by item, and the gap can be wide. Across the 12 Jet deals we have tracked long enough to judge, the typical badge is 54% off, but measured against the price the item actually holds, the median real saving is R0 (0%). The rest of that percentage is calculated off a was-price we have not seen the item reach. We show both numbers on every deal so the badge does not do the deciding.

How many Jet deals is SaleDrop tracking right now?

We are tracking 15 Jet deals at 50% or more off, priced from R20 to R89, up to 94% off. Of those, 12 have enough recorded history for us to judge the saving, and 11 are at the lowest price we have on record.

How do I know if a Jet deal is actually a good price?

Ignore the percentage badge and look at two figures we record: the lowest price we have ever seen the item at, and the price it usually holds. If the current price is at or near that recorded low and clearly below the usual price, the saving is real. Our method is on the how-we-verify page.

How SaleDrop works

  1. We track the price. Day after day, we record what each item actually sells for at the shop.
  2. We check the discount. A was-price only counts if the item really held that price while we watched.
  3. You buy with proof. Green means the saving is real against the price it usually holds. You buy at the shop, not from us.
