I'm constantly looking for good deals on electronics, but somehow I always miss the best offers. Is there a trick to finding out about the discounts in time? Is it worth signing up for a newsletter or should I use the apps instead?
At MediaMarkt and Saturn it's really more about combining different approaches: the apps push you flash deals, but you'll often find the best discounts in the weekly flyers or on the website when you actively filter by category - especially for older models that need to clear out. Newsletters are more for newsletter-exclusive codes, but you've got to actually check them instead of hoping you'll stumble across them 😅 My trick: just check the apps 1-2 weeks before making a bigger purchase and then go in with a plan - there are often local differences between stores too.
I mostly just pop in spontaneously and grab the flyers instead of relying on newsletters - they're often too late anyway. The apps are actually better because the deals get updated faster there and you can get push notifications. It's also worth checking the websites directly if you're looking for something specific - there are often weekend deals that don't get advertised everywhere.
I find it most reliable to check the weekly flyers directly online - they're often available Tuesday or Wednesday before they hit the stores. I can deal with the app notifications for flash deals, but honestly the newsletters are usually too slow. The real trick is checking the website regularly and not just waiting for push notifications - a lot of good deals are gone within an hour if you're counting on someone to let you know.
