How to read a Dealzcan deal card
Price, was-price, percent off, store versus online, and when to open the retailer.
Guide · updated 2026-09-22
The numbers
The large price is what the retailer is asking now. The smaller was-price is the regular or list figure from that same source. Percent off is (was − now) / was. If was-price is missing, ignore any urge to invent a “up to” percent from the title.
A 60% off badge on a $9 item can still be a better use of time than 15% off a $400 tool you were not going to buy. Rank is a starting order, not a command. Sort by price or percent if you already know what you want.
Store and online labels
Store clearance or store promo means the offer was scoped to the location you picked. Online means the website or catalog offer. Distance, when shown, is from the ZIP or point you used to find stores — not live GPS after you leave the page.
Before you buy
Open the retailer and read their page. Confirm the store, shipping line, and return rule. Dealzcan does not sell the item and cannot honor a price if the retailer changed it. If the outbound button is an affiliate link, we say we may earn a commission. You can still navigate to the retailer yourself; we would rather lose the credit than hide that sentence.
