Sales Season Secret!

Don't Fall for the Discount Myth

"All discounts save you money."

Not always as much as you think! Knowing the real math behind discounts is crucial.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

"20% off + 10% off = 30% off."

That's the biggest myth! Stacked discounts apply sequentially, not additively.

The first discount reduces the base for the second.

"First, apply the 30% discount."

First, you get 30% off โ‚น5,000. That's โ‚น1,500 saving, making the price โ‚น3,500.

44%

the real discount when 30% and 20% offers stack (not 50%)

โš–๏ธ

"More discounts always mean more savings."

Not necessarily! A flat 40% off the same โ‚น5,000 would be โ‚น3,000.

Your stacked '50%' deal is actually cheaper.

"It's not worth the effort to check."

Always calculate the true total discount. You might save more with a single, seemingly smaller offer.
