About Is That Sale a Good Deal?
40% off and then another 20% at the till is 52% off, not 60%, because percentages multiply rather than add. Stack up the offers, the voucher, the delivery and the tax, and get the one number that leaves your account.
What it does
- Stacked percentages worked out properly, with the gap from the sign spelled out
- Buy-one-get-one, three-for-two and multi-buys turned into a real per-item price
- Delivery and free-delivery thresholds counted, because they undo small discounts
- Tells you when the order the shop applies a voucher in is costing you money
- Compares against a price elsewhere, all in, like for like
How to use it
- Put the ticket price in And how many you're really buying.
- Stack whatever they're stacking Percentages, vouchers, multi-buys.
- Read the one number What you'll actually pay, not what you'll 'save'.
Questions
Is this really free?
Yes, the whole tool. There is no trial, no cut-down version, no account and no email address to hand over. You are using the same file a paying customer would get.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It is one file that runs in the browser you are reading this in. There is nothing to download unless you want to keep a copy.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Save the page and it keeps working with the wi-fi switched off, because there is no server involved at any point.
Where does what I type go?
Nowhere. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere. There is no network call in this file to make one, which is why it still works offline.
This one is free, and so are two others.
- Text Tidy-Up, free too: I pasted from a PDF and every line breaks in the wrong place.
- QR Code Maker, free too: A code people can scan for my menu, my wifi or my number.
