Methodology
BuySignal checks prices across dozens of major Canadian retailers daily. A "deal" is a product currently priced below its recent baseline price by a meaningful margin — not an inflated "was" price set just before a sale. Average discount figures are calculated across all currently tracked live deals for that retailer, and update as prices change.
