How We Decide What Deals Get Posted

Running a deals site well requires a disciplined curation standard. Without one, a deals feed becomes a random collection of discounted items rather than a genuinely useful service. Here is the process behind every deal we post.

Step 1: Price History Verification

The first check on any potential deal is whether the current price is genuinely lower than the product's recent history. We use 90-day price history as the reference window. A product at its 90-day low is eligible for consideration. A product at its average price with an inflated "was" price is rejected immediately, regardless of how the deal is presented.

This single filter eliminates the majority of "deals" that Amazon and third-party sellers advertise. The actual percentage of sales that represent genuine price lows is smaller than most people assume.

Step 2: Product Quality Check

A product at a genuine price low is not worth featuring if the product is mediocre. We check review counts (minimum 50), review rating (minimum 4.0 stars), and review quality (reading one- and two-star reviews for systematic defects). A product that consistently disappoints buyers on its core use case does not belong in a deals feed, regardless of price.

Step 3: Category Fit

We post deals in categories our audience is actually shopping. We track which categories drive clicks and purchases and adjust the feed toward what actually helps people. This means some categories are featured more than others — not because the deals are better, but because the audience fit is stronger.

Step 4: Seller Verification

For any third-party seller deal, we check seller ratings (minimum 95% positive), fulfillment method (Amazon-fulfilled preferred), and return policy. A deal from a seller with a poor rating or restrictive returns is not a good deal regardless of the price.

What We Do Not Post

Products we would not personally buy. Products with review profiles suggesting manipulation. Products in categories where quality is so variable that price alone is not a useful signal. Products where the "deal" is simply the normal price with a manufactured "was" price. The filter matters more than the feed volume — a smaller feed of genuine deals is more useful than a large feed of mediocre ones.
