Clothing Volume Outpaces Discount Depth Across Categories
This week's corpus shows a wide base of retailers with one category holding a commanding lead in offer count while a different category leads on average discount depth.
The tracker holds 74,600 offers across 4,622 retailers as of this sync. Clothing & Accessories carries the largest single share of that volume, though it sits well under half of the whole corpus. Most other tracked categories hold small single digit shares, spread across dozens of retailers each.
Average percentage off across live percentage offers, categories with at least 200 offers. Measured August 19, 2026.
Arrivals And Departures
The window brought 4,541 new offers from 1,327 retailers into the feed. On the other side, 3,272 offers across 499 retailers are set to lapse in the next window. The desk ran 2 full checks against the feed in that window, which added 5,401 offers and retired 5,437.
Where The Deep Cuts Sit
Offers cutting half price or more number 4,198 across 1,675 retailers this week. That slice remains a narrow band against the total corpus of 4,622 retailers. Depth of discount and category leadership do not always line up, as the ranking below shows.
Reading The Category Ranking
Entertainment & Media sits atop the ranking by average percentage off, ahead of Tech & Electronics and Office & Business. Clothing & Accessories, despite holding the largest offer count of any tracked category, ranks well down the list on average discount depth. Automotive anchors the lower end of both offer count and discount size. Pets & Animals carries the fewest offers of any category that clears the threshold, yet it ranks fourth on discount depth.
