What is on promotion

Which aisles retailers push hardest, and which brands manage to be on offer in the most countries at the same time.

Share of offers by category

Brands that cross the most borders

Brands on promotion in three or more countries this week. Always worldwide — not affected by the scope filter.

Promotion mechanics

How retailers discount

A lower shelf price, a percentage, “buy two get one free” or simply a promo price with no reference: the mix differs sharply from country to country.

Promotion type, share of offers

How deep is the discount

Only offers with a known single-unit discount (an old price or one percentage). Multi-buy deals are left out.

Who discounts deepest

Price levels

What a promoted item costs

Prices converted to euro so countries can sit side by side. This is the price of what is on offer — a different basket in every country — not a cost-of-living index.

Offers by price band

Share of offers per band; the median promoted price on the right.

The psychology of the price tag

How promoted prices end, in local currency. Some markets live on .99; others prefer round numbers.

Over time

How it moves

Coverage has grown week by week since the first scrape. Price trends need history, so they start small: a shelf-price index for Mexico, and a daily tracker that grows from the day this page went live.
