How often prices change
Of the 37,193 products we tracked on both August 17 and October 18, 2026:
- 32,335 (87%) cost exactly the same,
- 3,562 got cheaper,
- 1,296 got more expensive,
- and the average price fell by 0.26%.
In those two months we recorded 10,187 price changes in total. Price cuts come in batches, usually a whole series at once, which is why we only call a drop "real" when the old price held for at least two weeks (see our weekly price drops).
