Before diving into comparison strategies, understand the data at your fingertips:
Use the spreadsheet's filter functions to narrow down to the specific product category and model. This creates a clean view of all sellers offering that item.
Don't just look at the current price. Check the "Discount %""Promotion Tag"
Look at the product's price trajectory. Is it at a 30-day low, or is it typically lower? The spreadsheet's chart helps you answer: "Should I buy now, or can I wait for a better drop?"
Check the promotional calendar tab. If a major sale event is two weeks away, and the current discount is modest, it might be worth waiting for the upcoming event where steeper discounts are likely.
Create a simple formula column in your mind or on the sheet: Final Price = (Base Price - Seller Discount) + Shipping Cost. Sometimes a "discounted" item with high shipping costs is less economical than a pricier item with free shipping.
Use the spreadsheet's alert function (if available) or manually check when the price hits your desired "buy" point.
The lowest price isn't always the best deal. Factor in seller ratings and reviews listed in the sheet to ensure a reliable purchase.
Some seller discounts can be stacked with site-wide coupons. The spreadsheet notes which promotions are stackable for maximum savings.
