Lesson 1 · 5 min

Is it really a good deal?

Lesson notes

Not every 'sale' is actually a good deal. Byte teaches you to think calmly before you buy.

Compare first

  • Is it cheaper somewhere else?
  • Is bigger really better value? (Work out the price per piece.)
  • Do you even need it?

"-50%" doesn't always mean cheap

Sometimes the price goes up first, then it's 'on sale'. Look at the real price, not the red sticker.

Byte's rule: a deal is only a deal if you were going to buy it anyway.
