On special shopping days, those that take place once a year, it seems that we can get the products we are interested in buying at an attractive price - much cheaper than what is offered on days of routine, otherwise what is the point of waiting a whole year?



"Chinese Singles Day" is one of the biggest international shopping events that has earned the controversial nickname "Shopping Holiday", it is very well known among consumers all over the world who long for the fixed date it takes place (11.11 when the number 1 symbolizes single / single).



"Chinese Singles Day" promises unique and one-time discounts but have you ever checked that the price offered on this day is the most attractive you can find during the year?



After a brief browsing of the shopping sites during the shopping days, it is likely that she was tempted to purchase products for fear that the price offered "only today" will not return and does indeed justify a quick purchase. Prominent red ads promise us the lowest price, but sometimes it's nothing more than "A marketing ploy. "



How do we know that this is indeed a real price drop?

Maayan Prilok, founder of the website and Facebook group "Lady Savings", which updates on price reductions for products and shopping, explains to us:

A well-known marketing exercise of traders

"Many times the traders raise the price about a month before Bachelors 'Day and lower it on Bachelors' Day itself. This is a well-known exercise and it happens every year. I use algorithms that track the price and update on any price change. In the last three months and even within a year. "



Installing the plugins I mean is quite simple and in a few simple steps you can download them to your computer and get a real and complete picture of the changing price of the product over time and not be dragged into fictitious promotions. "



These plugins will help you quickly check

That they will not work on you

Using the ALIPRICE plugin you can see the price of the product on the AliExpress website.

There is also an app that can be downloaded to a mobile, after we have downloaded the app, just copy the link of the product we want and paste in the app and then you can get historical information about its price.



Take for example a product, we chose to check the Lego of the movie UP - we can see its price today, $ 19 and it is noted that on Chinese Singles Day its price dropped to $ 18.2.



Our review showed that the exact same product was recently sold for $ 13 which tells us that this is probably not a "special" discount.

Mark a target price for the product

The HONEY plugin "dresses up" on the AMAZON.COM website.

Download one-time his computer will be present in the background and will help us monitor prices on Amazon over a period back. "



Moreover, we will highlight selected products that we are interested in them, noting the" target price "to us, we are willing to pay for it and Csmotzr reaches the target price we receive by email.



Every time we use the Amazon website, a small mark of the plugin will appear, if we click on it we will be able to see the price history of the product and thus understand again, whether it is a worthwhile discount.

Product price comparison in different countries

Another tool we can use is the KEPPA website which knows how to analyze the information about the products in Amazon stores around the world.



To get the requested information, we will copy the link of the product and get comprehensive information about it, you can also get information about product prices on Amazon UK / Italy and more.



In this case, there is no need to download a plugin, the site is available for free to everyone and there are additional versions and paid services that provide more information on the basics that are provided for free.



The use of the site is a bit more cumbersome and is less convenient to use, but the information it provides to the consumer is much more comprehensive and extensive, and for example, it will be able to show us the product we want to buy in used condition, identical product but not new.



"In short, do not be suckers and do not be tempted by the sites' big promises of one-time prices," concludes Prilock.
