Original Title: LPT: Don’t trust the discounts shown on sites like Amazon, Aliexpress especially during sales, they’re all made up.

Sale season is coming up. I remember how I used to react to big discount tags - it led to impulsive purchases. But now there are free websites where you can check the price history for items you want. Just search “amazon price history”, “aliexpress price history” etc., on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, … and look at the price chart. You’ll quickly see if the discount is real, the best price to buy at, and during which sale the price could be lower. Be smart and save your money!
