Real discount vs marketing trick — how to spot fake promos

Lately I keep seeing “70% OFF TODAY ONLY!” banners, but when I check price history, the prices barely changed. How do you all spot real discounts vs pure marketing tricks?

I’ve noticed the same thing—those “70% OFF TODAY ONLY!” banners are usually just anchoring tactics. Many stores inflate the “original price” so the discount looks dramatic, even though the real price hasn’t changed much. To spot genuine deals, I compare historical pricing with tools like browser extensions, check multiple retailers, and look for month-to-month patterns instead of daily flash sales. Seasonal sales (Black Friday, back-to-school, year-end) tend to be more authentic. I also browse https://proxy.coupons to verify if a promo code is actually applied at checkout. Real discounts always show up in the final total.
