At least 5% below the normal price, at the cheapest store we track.
How we measured
- We check every product we track once a day. The price is the checkout price with the store's own voucher, at the cheapest store we track.
- A product's normal price is the median of our in-stock checks from 30 to 8 days before Payday, before any run-up.
- Actually cheaper means at least 5% below normal on the sale day: the same line our price drops use.
- Raised first means the price was at least 7% above normal for three or more days in a row in the two weeks before, in the same listing that had the sale price, then came down to no better than 5% below normal. Smaller swings are ordinary voucher changes, so we leave them out.
- Platform vouchers, bank promos and coins aren't included, so some shoppers paid less than these prices.
- For a product sold in several sizes, we judge the size we've tracked longest.
