Deal
Why We Started This
Honestly? We were tired of getting ripped off. We'd buy a laptop, then see it $200 cheaper two weeks later. We'd book a hotel room, then find out there was a way to get 40% off. It kept happening, and we figured — if we're going to obsess over finding deals anyway, why not share what we learn?
That's basically how DealWild started. No fancy origin story. Just a couple of people who hate overpaying for things and decided to write about it.
What We Actually Do
We write buying guides, track prices, and tell you when to buy stuff (and when to wait). We cover electronics, fashion, travel, home stuff, health products, and cars — basically anything where there's a real opportunity to save money if you know the tricks.
We're not one of those sites that blasts out every "deal" with an affiliate link. If something isn't actually a good deal, we don't recommend it. Period. We've turned down plenty of sponsored opportunities because the product wasn't worth your money. That matters to us.
How We Pick What to Recommend
Here's how it works behind the scenes:
- We track prices obsessively. We monitor retailers, watch for sales patterns, and keep an eye on product release cycles. When we say something's a good deal, we've checked the price history first.
- We test when we can. If it's something we can get our hands on, we try it. For stuff we can't test personally, we dig through real user reviews and pull from sources we trust — not just manufacturer claims.
- We verify the savings are real. "50% off" means nothing if the original price was inflated. We compare against what things actually sell for, not what retailers say they're "worth."
- We keep things updated. Deals expire. Prices change. We go back and update our guides regularly so you're not acting on stale info.
What We Stand For
We're straight with you. If we make money from a link, we'll tell you. But our recommendations aren't for sale. The editorial side and the business side don't mix — that's a hard rule for us.
We care about getting it right. If we mess something up, we fix it fast and we're upfront about it. Nobody's perfect, but we don't sweep errors under the rug.
We're on your side. If a "deal" is actually garbage, we'll say so. We've called out fake discounts, overpriced junk, and misleading promotions more times than we can count. Our job is to save you money, not to make retailers look good.
The Team
We're a small crew — writers, researchers, and self-proclaimed deal nerds. Some of us came from tech journalism, others from retail and finance. What we all have in common is that we genuinely enjoy finding ways to spend less on the things people actually need.
Each person on the team covers specific categories they actually know about. Our electronics writer has been reviewing laptops for 8 years. Our travel person flies 60,000+ miles a year. You get the idea. We're not generalists pretending to be experts — we actually know our stuff.
