Question 1

What is a price drop?

Accepted Answer

A price drop is when a product's current price is lower than its price in the previous scrape. CheapAsMate checks prices twice weekly and lists all products that have dropped in price.

Question 2

How recent are the price drops shown?

Accepted Answer

Price drops shown are from the last 7 days across Coles, Woolworths, Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, and 6 other stores. The page refreshes every 5 minutes.

Question 3

Is a price drop the same as a special?

Accepted Answer

Not always. A price drop means the current price is lower than the previous price — it could be a short-term special, a catalogue deal, or a permanent price reduction. CheapAsMate's AI verdict shows whether the drop is a genuine historical low.
