You do not need a complicated system to understand whether a major sale price looks useful. A short record of the products you actually plan to buy can give you helpful context.
Choose only planned products
Track items you genuinely expect to purchase rather than collecting dozens of random sale targets.
Record the exact model
Save the model number, size or version so later comparisons are like for like.
Note the current price
Write down the price from one or two established sellers before the sale period starts.
Record shipping and bundle details
A price comparison is more useful when you also know whether shipping or accessories are included.
Compare sale-day totals
When the event begins, compare the final checkout price with your earlier notes instead of relying only on the advertised percentage.
