Smart shopping starts with a good search. Learn how to use five available neural networks and 15 non-obvious tricks to find great offers in US stores, and leave the delivery to Pochtoy.com.
First, pick your assistant. Then hand the search over to it.
All five services offer free access with certain limits. You don't need any programming knowledge: just describe the task as you would explain it to a friend.
Describe your dream find. AI will handle the options.
Say you're looking for men's sneakers for up to $100. Give your US size, preferred brands and a maximum price. Instead of general advice, ask for specific product pages with availability and the date they were checked.
Find new men's New Balance sneakers in size US 9 in US online stores for up to $100. Check availability, the price of each colorway and the exact item number. Include links to the product pages, state the date of the check and highlight any unconfirmed information.
Smart shopping in practice
15 tricks that are easy to forget.
You won't find fifteen repeats of "search for a lower price" here. Each trick solves a separate task: from identifying a model in a photo to checking the real cost of a purchase with shipping.
/01Different colorways
Same pair, different price
The price of one shoe model can depend on its color. Ask the AI to check each colorway separately: different SKUs sometimes fall under different promotions.
Match color, size and SKU
Copy and paste into AI
Check the New Balance 9060 in men's size US 9 in all available colorways in the US. Make a table with the model code, color name, current price, availability and link. Show the cheapest confirmed option. Don't mix up men's and women's size charts.
/02Beyond the storefront
Look where brands sell their leftover stock
Don't limit yourself to the manufacturer's main store. The same item number can often be found at the brand's outlet and at large discount retailers. The key is to compare identical products.
Official site vs. outlets
Copy and paste into AI
I need a new Columbia jacket [model/SKU]. Compare offers from the official store, Sierra, Nordstrom Rack, 6pm and other well-known US sellers. Check the item number match, sizes, condition and final price. Provide direct links.
/03An item from a picture
Use a photo instead of a name
Saw a great model but don't know what it's called? Ask the AI to describe the style and details in English, then search for similar original items.
From photo to precise queries
Copy and paste into AI
Study the attached photo of the item. Identify the style, fabric, cut, hardware and distinctive details. Prepare eight English search phrases for US stores, then find new similar items for no more than $100. Exclude replicas and fakes.
/04Bonus after the click
Find out if it gets cheaper in the cart
In some stores, the final discount only appears when you add the item to the bag or after you enter a code. Look for extra off terms and check for excluded brands.
Check the hidden promo step
Copy and paste into AI
Check the item [link] on the seller's website: can the price drop in the cart, after entering a coupon, when buying a bundle or on a first order? Give the terms, restrictions and expiration date. Be honest about what can't be verified without going through checkout.
/05Getting part of your money back
Don't forget cashback, but count it carefully
Services like Rakuten and TopCashback sometimes return part of your spending. However, the rules depend on the store, the account's country, the category and any coupons applied.
Only available cashback
Copy and paste into AI
Check the Rakuten and TopCashback terms for [store]: the rate for the category I need, exclusions, promo code compatibility, whether I can participate from my country, and payout methods. Separate likely cashback from guaranteed discounts.
/06Price tags under a microscope
Tell a real discount from a nice-looking percentage
A 60% off label says nothing about what the item cost last week. A price chart shows the usual price level and past lows.
History matters more than a crossed-out price
Copy and paste into AI
Evaluate the item's price using the attached Keepa or CamelCamelCamel chart. Compare the current price with the median and the lowest price over the last 90 days, and calculate the difference in dollars and percent. Don't accept MSRP as proof of savings.
/07Similar style
Find a worthy alternative to an expensive model
Sometimes you don't want a particular logo, but a shape, material and quality. AI can help you find independent original models with similar specs at a lower price.
Similarity without counterfeits
Copy and paste into AI
I like the Coach bag [link] for $280. Suggest five new, authentic genuine-leather bags of a similar size and silhouette that cost up to $120. Compare dimensions, materials, closures, prices, and sellers. No knockoffs or fake logos.
/08Don't chase the latest release
The previous generation may be the smarter choice
A new device or a new version of sneakers doesn't necessarily bring useful improvements. Compare the features you'll actually use and check the price of the previous release.
Comparison by the features you need
Copy and paste into AI
Compare [current model] and [previous generation] for my needs: [needs]. Search only for new items at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. List the real differences, what's included, current prices, and links. Don't include open-box or refurbished items.
/09A set or a trap
Break a gift set down into separate items
A ready-made box looks like a good deal until you add up what's inside. Compare volumes, the number of items and the price of each one separately.
What the contents cost
Copy and paste into AI
Break down the set [link] by component: names, exact sizes or volumes, and the US market price of each item. Calculate the cost of buying them separately and the difference compared to the set. Flag any miniatures, duplicates, and items that would be useless to me.
/10US sizes
Let AI decode the size chart
The US, Europe and individual brands use different sizing systems. Match your body measurements to the brand's chart, fit, inseam length or shoe width.
Measurements instead of guesses
Copy and paste into AI
Here are my measurements [values] and the brand's official size chart [link]. For the item [model], compare suitable sizes, taking fit and length into account. Explain anything unclear and ask for any missing measurements. Don't promise a perfect fit.
/11Forgotten collections
Try searching by item number
An item that has disappeared from the new arrivals section sometimes remains in another catalog. With the model code, it's easier to find previous releases and make sure you're looking at the right version.
Search by exact code
Copy and paste into AI
Find the new item [name and item number] from well-known US sellers and official outlets. Check the SKU match, actual stock, price, condition, and link. If there are no confirmed offers, say so without making up listings.
/12Don't wait for November 27
Track the start of early sales
Black Friday sales can start well before the Friday itself. But don't call every November sale "early Black Friday": check the store's official announcement.
Check the name and dates
Copy and paste into AI
Find officially announced early Black Friday 2026 sales in the US for the category [category]. Include prices, start and end dates, links to the deals, and the date you checked. List regular seasonal discounts separately and don't pass them off as Black Friday.
/13The whole purchase
Optimize the entire list, not a single item
A few impressive discounts can turn into overpaying for domestic shipping. Compare a single retailer's full cart with purchases across different stores.
Total cart cost
Copy and paste into AI
My shopping list: [items, sizes, quantities]. Calculate two scenarios in the US: buying everything from one store and splitting the order across several. Use verified prices, free shipping thresholds and promo terms. Do not fill in any unconfirmed amounts.
/14Delivery with Pochtoy.com
Calculate your savings after forwarding
A low item price is only the beginning. The final total depends on US shipping, international shipping costs, insurance and possible customs charges.
Comparing the full total
Copy and paste into AI
Here is my shopping list with prices [list] and the current Pochtoy.com rates [calculator data or link]. Calculate the full cost of several ordering options, including known US expenses and international shipping. Flag any unknown parameters and don't make up rates.
/15Buy now or wait
Decide based on facts, not predictions
Sales history can show how strong the current price is. But no AI can guarantee an even lower price by Cyber Monday.
Black Friday 27.11 · Cyber Monday 30.11
Copy and paste into AI
Compare today's price of [item] with its 90-day history and the terms of the current promotion. Tell me whether buying now looks reasonable or whether there are arguments for waiting until November 30. Point out the risk of the sale ending or my size selling out, without promising a future price.
