"With Amazon's October Prime Day coming up this week, deals and discounts are top of mind. It can be overwhelming to sift through all the deals to see what's worth the discount, but luckily, ZDNET has years of experience finding the best sales that are actually worth your money. To help you shop more efficiently during Amazon Prime Day (Oct. 7-8), we broke down how to spot a good deal based on a product's price history and what to look for."
"Using the Camel Camel Camel Google Chrome plugin, we were able to see a product's pricing over time using the deal-tracking system's advanced algorithm. We chose the parameters of lowest price, highest price, and average price so that readers can clearly see the difference in prices. The lowest price is the lowest sale price that was recorded, while the highest price is the highest price that was recorded on a site."
Amazon's October Prime Day on Oct. 7-8 generates a flood of deals that can overwhelm shoppers seeking genuine discounts. Top products were selected based on best-list recommendations and reader search and purchase trends, with a subset of budget items under $200 included to illustrate discount variation. Price history was examined using the Camel Camel Camel Chrome plugin and its deal-tracking algorithm. Comparisons used lowest, highest, and average price parameters to highlight price movement. The lowest price refers to the lowest recorded sale, the highest price usually reflects MSRP, and the average price combines observations over time. An interactive visualization was created to display these price differences.
