Is 5% Off Worth It at $25?

Smart Tip
Buying a $25 gift card at 10% off ($22.50) then using it on an item already on sale = double discount. That's a strategy, not luck.

How We Calculated This
5% off $25 means you pay 95% of the original price.
$25 × 0.95 = $23.75
The discount amount is $25 × 0.05 = $1.25, which gets subtracted from the original $25 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "5% off" feels more impressive than "$1.25 off" — even though they’re identical.
