- The amount you save in dollars is often more useful than the percent-off headline when comparing real purchases.
Practical tips
- Compare the final price and total savings side by side instead of focusing only on the sale percentage.
- If you are choosing between multiple promotions, calculate each one from the original price instead of estimating mentally.
Assumptions and limits

- Stacked coupons, taxes, and shipping charges need to be handled separately if they affect the real checkout total.
