How we judge

Store says
The store’s own discount: its “was” price against today’s. Their claim, not ours.
Our record
What our daily checks of this exact version show: a price cut, a rise, or no cut since our first check. A move under 3% counts as the same price; exchange rates move that much on their own.
BUY
Today’s price is the lowest in our record, and it got there by a real price cut.
WAIT
Anything else, and the card says why.
Price to beat
The lowest price in our record, and the day we first saw it. A Black Friday price under it beats everything we have seen.

Prices are what we saw at our latest check, in US dollars; the price at the store is the one that counts. Each product’s page has its full price record and where to buy, and we may earn a commission when you buy through those links.
