How to read holiday “deals”

Black Friday pricing runs on anchoring: a “was” price nobody recently paid, cut to a number that may be the everyday price in costume. The defense is boring: a record. That’s this page. If a bottle shows tracked low here during a sale, the discount is real against its own history; if a screaming banner price still shows +0% here, you’ve learned something too. Prices shown are live Amazon prices as of Oct 15, 2026 and change without notice — the link is the source of truth.
