How stacked discounts work

When you apply a second percentage off, it applies to the already-reduced price, not the original. So 25% off followed by 10% off equals 32.5% in total, not 35%.

Spotting a real deal

Compare the final price with other stores and with the item's normal price. Some sales raise the price first and then discount it.

Worked example

A $120 jacket with 25% off is $90. A further 10% coupon takes it to $81, saving $39, a total discount of 32.5%.
