Current technology offers in check: These deals are worth it

By Isa Kabakci and Rita Deutschbein | October 23, 2023, 1:40 p.m

Technology offers can often be found in online shops, but also in the brochures of various supermarkets and discounters. So that you don’t have to search for long, TECHBOOK regularly looks for the best bargains and reveals which deals you should grab.

This makes TECHBOOK a good technology offering

Large percentages do not always indicate a good technology offering. The starting price is often based on the manufacturer’s recommended retail price (RRP), which is usually very high, so that the discount looks particularly large. In reality, other retailers often offer the device at the same or even cheaper prices. TECHBOOK therefore only includes bargains in the comparison that really offer the lowest price from all retailers.

Another criterion is the quality of the product. Real bargains have to be worth something. That’s why TECHBOOK only presents articles that have impressed a large number of other users in terms of features and usability or those that the editorial team has already tested and found to be good.

This technology is currently particularly cheap (as of October 23rd)

This is what you still need to know about technology offers

Technology offers come and go very quickly, many items are only available in a very limited number. Even if the offers are advertised in brochures for a week, it is possible that they are already sold out before then. When shopping, also pay attention to possible shipping costs, which are added to the purchase price. Not all retailers generally offer free shipping.

The offers are often also available from other retailers, because Amazon in particular is constantly scanning the market and adjusting the prices of its products to those of the competition. This also works the other way around. If you find a good price online, confront your local retailer and ask for the same discount. This strategy is particularly promising for large electronics markets. This may also save you shipping costs. It is also worth using a comparison portal such as Idealo.de* or Geizhals.de before buying and see whether the product is available cheaper elsewhere.
