Waited all year for a big sale like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Prime Day, only to wonder if you really got the best deal? You’re not alone. Shopping during these big sale times can feel like a fast race. Prices go up, down, and vanish in seconds. One minute, your dream laptop is $200 off; the next, it’s gone, or maybe it wasn’t even the best price to begin with.
That’s where PriceGPT comes in. It’s your AI-powered shopping assistant in the Blitz app, helping you track price changes in real time. It monitors prices in real time, compares across retailers, and alerts you the moment your wishlist items go on sale, so you never miss a legit deal again.
In this blog, we’ll show you exactly how to use PriceGPT to monitor price fluctuations during sales events and shop smarter, faster, and without stress. Let’s dive into how to use PriceGPT during sales events and turn chaos into savings gold.
Why Monitor Price Fluctuations During Sales Events?
Sales events often look fun, with lots of signs, cuts in price, and bright tags. But students don’t see that these prices don’t last long. Sales come with short-term deals, quick flash sales, and price jumps that can happen in moments. That’s why it’s key to watch and track price moves at these times. Here are some main points on why to watch prices in sales events:
Limited-Time Offers Disappear Fast
Certain special offers only run for a brief period. Should you be distracted, you could miss a better price that arose just minutes prior and revert to regular soon after.
Flash Deals Come and Go
Flash deals might be up for a few hours only. If you don’t watch, you could buy too soon or too late, missing when the price was lowest.
Dynamic Pricing Changes Based on Interest
When many people go to a product page, the price might go up on its own. This change can make it hard to tell what’s truly a deal unless you follow it.
What is PriceGPT?
PriceGPT is your smart shopping sidekick, built right into the Blitz app. It’s an AI-powered price tracking tool designed to help students and savvy shoppers. And score the best deals. Whether you’re eyeing a refurbished iPad, noise-cancelling headphones, or even a dorm mini fridge, PriceGPT keeps tabs on it all so you don’t have to.
Here’s what it does:
- Tracks product prices in real time
- Analyzes price history so you know if it’s a real deal
- Sends you alerts when prices go down or hit your set point
- Checks prices at different stores
- Adds up the total cost with shipping and tax
For students on a budget, it’s like having your shopping assistant who never sleeps.
How to Use PriceGPT for Sales Event Price Monitoring
Big sales like Black Friday, Prime Day, or back-to-school times are perfect for big discounts—but only if you know how to find the best deals. PriceGPT, an AI price tracker in the Blitz app, helps you track the right product at the right price. Here’s how to use it step by step to know price tracking during any sales time:
Step 1: Add Sale Items to Your Watchlist
Start by picking the things you want to buy during the sale. This could be headphones, a tablet, things for your dorm room—whatever is on your wish list.
Be clear: add model numbers, sizes, and colors. The more details you give PriceGPT, the better it can track.
Step 2: Set Up Real-Time Price Alerts
Once your items are added, set price alerts. Want to wait until your $120 speakers hit $90? Set it and forget it.
Customize alerts based on:
- Target price
- Percentage drop (like 20% off)
- Flash sale notifications
PriceGPT will ping you the second your item goes on sale.
Step 3: Track Price History and Trends
Before jumping on a “limited time offer,” check the item’s price history in PriceGPT. It shows you if the price has been inflated or if this is the best deal so far.
This helps you decide:
- Should I buy it now?
- Is this likely to go lower later?
- Was this price better last month?
Step 4: Compare Across Retailers
Sometimes, several businesses sell the same item at quite varied prices. PriceGPT compares across all of them so you can:
- Amazon
- Best Buy
- Walmart
- Target
- Back Market and others
Now, instead of opening 10 browser tabs, you can check one screen and know where to buy.
Step 5: Act Quickly on Verified Deals
When PriceGPT gives you a green light that a deal is legit, don’t wait. Sales move quickly, and popular items sell out in minutes.
Once you’ve purchased the item, remove it from your watchlist. This keeps your dashboard clean and ready for the next deal.
What PriceGPT’s Monitoring Reveals
When you shop during a major sale, it’s simple to be tricked by flashy sales or deceptive “limited-time” discounts. But with PriceGPT, you can see what’s going on behind the scenes. Want to know which store has the best deal or if that 50% off is real? Here’s what makes PriceGPT stand out during major sales:
Live Price Fluctuations
PriceGPT shows you real-time changes in prices, so you can see if something just dropped or is creeping back up. It’s like watching your favorite items move on a stock ticker.
Lowest Price Alerts
You’ll know the moment a product hits its lowest recorded price. No guessing, no waiting. Just a simple alert that tells you when to buy and save the most money.
True Deal or Fake Sale?
See how the price changed before the event. If a product was marked up and then “discounted,” PriceGPT exposes it so you don’t fall for sneaky marketing tricks.
Retailer Showdown
Find out which retailer is offering the best deal on a product. PriceGPT compares prices across stores so you can skip the browsing and buy from the cheapest one.
Price History Snapshots
Look at a chart indicating how the price has fluctuated over months or weeks. This lets you know whether today’s offer is worth getting, or if it was cheaper earlier.
Target Price Confirmation
When a price hits your set target, you’ll get an alert. It keeps you in control, so you don’t have to keep checking every hour during busy sale days.
Shipping and Tax Insights
PriceGPT doesn’t just show base prices—it factors in shipping and tax. You get the full, final cost upfront, so there are no surprises at checkout.
Strategies for Smarter Sales Event Shopping
Sales events can be overwhelming—so much stuff, so many “limited-time” deals, and far too many open tabs. But fear not, with a proper plan and a bit of assistance from PriceGPT, you can shop smart, save more, and still get precisely what you need. Here are seven easy strategies to master the sales season and avoid the hype traps:
Don’t wait until the sale starts. Use PriceGPT to search and save the items you want ahead of time. This gives the tool time to monitor prices and helps you stay focused when the deals begin.
Turn On Alerts Before Sale Day
Set up alerts a few days before the big event. That way, you’ll get notified the moment a price drops—even if it happens before the actual sale starts.
Study Price History First
Utilize PriceGPT’s price history graph to observe how the price of the product has evolved. This makes you identify fake discounts and pay the correct price.
Set Smart Budget Goals
Choose how much you’re ready to spend per item. Use PriceGPT to track when prices reach your budget, so you shop with sureness and don’t overspend.
Compare Multiple Stores
One store’s “deal” might be another store’s regular price. PriceGPT checks across multiple retailers so you always buy from the one with the real bargain.
Check Total Costs, Not Just Tags
Don’t be tricked by the sale price tag alone. PriceGPT displays the entire cost with shipping, tax, and surprise fees, so you won’t get sticker shock at checkout.
