Black Friday Deal Checker: Is It Really a Deal?
A "40% off" sticker means nothing if the "was" price was only charged for a week. Type the Black Friday price, the price the shop says it was, its usual price and the lowest price you can find before, and get a straight answer: real deal, matches its low, or not the best price.
Find the lowest price before with a price tracker or the shop's price history. A real deal beats the lowest price you found, not just the 'was' price.
