Entertainment Leads Discount Rates as Clothing Holds Broad Reach
This week's sync shows deep discounts concentrated in smaller categories while the largest slice of retailers still sits in clothing.
The corpus took in 4,417 offers from 1,407 retailers this window, while 3,278 offers across 819 retailers are set to lapse in the next cycle. That pairing keeps the total near 76,832 offers spread across 4,604 retailers. The churn is steady rather than dramatic, more replacement than expansion.
Sync Log Behind the Numbers
Our daily matching process checked 545,844 listings against merchant and affiliate feeds over 7 runs, adding 7,175 and retiring 6,053. We do not open carts or test codes by hand. The feed comparison is what decides what stays live and what drops.
Where the Deep Cuts Sit
Offers cutting half price or more number 4,363 across 1,734 retailers this week. That is a narrow slice of the full corpus, which tells us steep discounting remains the exception rather than the pattern across the tracker.
Category Ranking This Week
Entertainment & Media sits at the top of the average discount ranking this week, ahead of Tech & Electronics and Pets & Animals, though each of these holds a small share of the total offer count. Clothing & Accessories sits lower in average discount but carries a share of offers near a tenth of the corpus and a share of retailers approaching three tenths, the widest retailer reach of any category tracked. Health & Beauty and Sports & Outdoors follow close behind in offer volume without matching that retailer spread. No single category holds anything close to half the corpus, in either offers or retailers.
Average percentage off across live percentage offers, categories with at least 200 offers. Measured August 29, 2026.
