'Do we need to check sale or discount tags carefully when shopping?'

I am sure some of you have ways to buy something online and offline. Checking them will be a key factor. Some companies will promote discounted prices, but they weren't. In fact, they are the original prices. I noticed this concern in some malls in my city. What are some ways to avoid spending more than you should? What can you do to make shopping enjoyable?

I would! Especially if it's a high value item, and if multiple stores sell it. I would like a good value and good savings. I also check other cash back apps, like Rakuten, to see if my purchase qualifies me for some cash back. It's nice to buy an item and then receive a check in the mail after a few weeks as cash back.

I consider the cashback before purchasing something online. It is a win-win situation. If it is offline, I tried my best to look around from one shop to another before purchasing something.

Yes sometimes things are not really bargains.

Sometimes I do not want to buy them, but I need close my eyes because I need them.

Sometimes retailers jack up the prices on items one week, just so they can fake discount them the next!

I agree. They do this often. Only to find out that the products cheaper in other shops.

Their "pretended" huge discounts have all been calculated before, they are not losing money, it is their marketing scheme,

I agree. I had learned this matter with one of the marketers that I acquainted with.

Yes they say it's a big sale , but then when you take another look, it's seems to be just about the same price as before or more!

That's the bad way of having business. I also noticed this in using a shopping app. They tend to deceive the consumers, especially taking advantage of having this pandemic.

They always try to trick us. Big discount is too good to be true.

Indeed, some products are so discounted that make people deceived. Not a good thing to do.

Personally, if you're trying to save money, do some compearasion shopping. Many stores will offer you a product at a discount if you found it elsewhere. They call it price matching. Often times I've also discovered that Online will offer something cheaper than in-person. So if I pay something in advance online, I can get it at the lower rate, and send my husband to get it for me in-person. I've been doing this for months with my cat's meds.

I totally agree with you. We need to check out other companies' products' prices before choosing the best one. It may take time to do it but it is better to choose the best price and affordable.

Yes, I agree. Items are in their original price.

I hope if they do this. It needs to be a win-win situation.
