How Rocket Deals Finds the Lowest Prices Online (and How You Can Too)
Last updated: October 2025
At Rocket Deals, our mission is simple — help you save money every single day. But behind every hot deal you see on our homepage, there’s a lot of smart automation, price tracking, and research going on in the background. Here’s how we do it (without giving away all our trade secrets 👀).
1. Real-Time Price Tracking Across Top Retailers
Rocket Deals runs automated systems powered by our RD Deals Hub and retailer modules like RD Amazon Live, RD Walmart Importer, and RD BestBuy Tracker. These tools fetch fresh pricing and stock data directly from official APIs — not scraped pages — so what you see is current, accurate, and verified.
Example: when you browse our homepage, every price badge ($) and “% Off” ribbon is updated in real time using the RD Price Compare and RD Price History Add-on plugins.
DC Comics, Metal Force Batman Action Figure,…
Peppa Pig Wooden Deluxe Playhouse, 8 Rooms,…
2. We Filter Out Fake Discounts and Fluff
Many sites hype “deals” that aren’t really deals. We use a combination of historical data from RD Price History and smart filtering rules to exclude inflated MSRP drops or expired offers. Our Smart AutoCats system automatically categorizes true bargains by product type, discount level, and retailer reliability.
That’s why you’ll rarely see “was $999, now $899” here — we highlight genuine markdowns and seasonal clearance only.
3. Human Verification + AI Enrichment
Our editors still hand-check featured deals. Tools like RD AI Enricher automatically enhance listings with cleaner titles, missing specs, or brand details — but before anything goes live, it’s reviewed for clarity and value. That’s how we maintain both accuracy and speed.
Every featured deal includes an affiliate disclosure and direct “Get Deal” link (powered by our RD Amazon AffLink Helper and RD Walmart Picker), ensuring transparency while keeping URLs clean and sponsor-compliant.
4. Why Our Prices Stay Fresh
We use smart caching and one-click flush tools that clear outdated prices without slowing the site. When a product’s price changes, the cron jobs behind RD Price History automatically update the post and refresh the badge. No stale data — ever.
If you ever see an older price, try our one-click “Flush Grid Cache” feature to pull the latest numbers instantly.
5. How You Can Find Great Deals Too
- Use the Rocket Deals Search Tool: Type a keyword and our grid pulls discounts from multiple retailers instantly. Example:
[rd_amzn_deal_search min_pct="40" grid="3"] - Watch for real drops: Anything 30% or more below the 90-day average is a true deal.
- Paste an Amazon link or ASIN to see every color/size—sorted by biggest savings.: Instantly compare every color, size, or style of a product to reveal which one has the deepest discount. Perfect for finding the best deal among multiple variations on Amazon without clicking through each listing manually.
- Follow our socials: New flash sales hit Facebook and X before they hit the homepage.
- 🔥 Biggest Price Drops — 40% Off or More 🔥

We don’t inflate prices, and we don’t use “coupon bait.” Every deal is verified, timestamped, and logged in our internal tracker so we can monitor changes. Our price data comes directly from retailer APIs, and our affiliate links are transparently disclosed.
Our goal isn’t clicks — it’s honest savings.
