To guarantee the all-time low, experienced buyers in the United States use a strategy that combines price trackers and filters. According to the Argentine News Agency, the most effective way to avoid the "makeup discount" is to use history tools and focus purchases on specific clearance sections, such as "warehouse deals". Here is a step-by-step guide with the tricks that work for shopping abroad:

Price Tracking Strategies and Clearance Buenos Aires, November 27 (NA) -- The Black Friday shopping season presents a challenge for Argentine buyers looking to take advantage of dollar deals: distinguishing authentic discounts from prices that were inflated days before. This tool is essential because:
- Visual History: Adds a chart to each product's page, showing the price fluctuation throughout the year.
- Rational Decision: Allows you to see if today's price is a true all-time low or if it was only raised in the previous days to simulate a Black Friday sale.
- Quick Alerts: Allows you to set a target price; if the product falls to that threshold, the tool notifies you immediately, which is vital for lightning deals.
-
Smart Strategies and Clearance Once the authenticity of the discount is confirmed, there are purchasing tactics that optimize the process:
- Search for "Warehouse Deals": Visit the Warehouse section (open-box, returned, or like-new items) on platforms like Amazon. These items already have significant discounts, and during Black Friday, they often see an additional 25% or 40% off, making them ideal for laptops, monitors, or tablets.
- Add everything to the cart 48 hours in advance: Load your desired products on the Tuesday or Wednesday before the sale. Stores often use the cart to launch "Lightning Deals" (offers that last minutes) or change prices at the last moment, allowing for instant purchases without having to search again.
- Filter by "International Shipping": To avoid frustrations or last-minute purchases that do not ship to Argentina, it is recommended to activate the international shipping filter or verify that the store accepts services of a Miami-based mail forwarding company.
-
Last-Minute Trick (Hidden Coupons) Many real discounts are not visible at first glance.
- Activate "Clip Coupon": Always go to the product's page and look for the "Clip coupon" option or other discount buttons that allow you to apply an additional 10% or 15% to the visible price.
- Follow mid-sized brands: Smaller American brands (audio, small appliances, PC tools) usually apply real discounts of 40% to 55% to gain visibility.
- Compare with competitors: If a product's price drops on Amazon, it's likely that retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, or Target will match the offer in the following hours, providing the option to find the most convenient stock.
Using a fake discount detector (Keepa) The most reliable trick is to use extensions like Keepa (for Amazon) or similar ones.
