Détails sur la confidentialitéAlex added $25 of unwanted extras to avoid $6 in delivery fees. The delivery was free. The detour wasn't.
Join Alex, Maya, Leo, Nina and Ben for a funny, practical guide to spotting when a deal increases your spending. Learn the difference between spending less than planned and earning money, why bulk discounts can still increase your bill, and how sequential percentage discounts actually work.
THE FICTIONAL EXAMPLES • Free delivery: a $45 basket + $6 delivery = $51. Adding $25 of unwanted extras to reach a $70 threshold makes the total $70—$19 more. • Planned jacket: $100 reduced to $70 means $30 less than planned, but $70 still spent. Against a no-purchase plan, it's $70 of additional spending. • Buy two, get one free: three identical $6 bottles cost $12, or $4 each. That's a lower unit price, but twice the $6 bill for buying only one. • Sequential discounts: 20% off $100 leaves $80; another 10% removes $8. Final price $72, a total 28% reduction.
All examples are invented and exclude taxes and any fees not stated. Real purchases should be compared using the full checkout total, applicable taxes, delivery, coupon conditions and return costs. Useful extras that replace planned purchases need a fair comparison over the same period. Waiting is a decision tool, not a guarantee of a better price.

BEFORE CHECKOUT Compare the total with your original plan. Check unit prices and offer conditions. Decide whether you need and can afford the purchase. Keep real savings available for your priorities instead of spending the discount again.
