Our Methodology

We know consumers want to find the best products and services out there at the best price — but that can take time. Cheapism’s team of experienced journalists and researchers do the work of digging up those gems so our readers don’t have to.

We award our top-level distinction, Best Value, to truly exceptional items that stand out for their high quality-to-cost ratio. Our picks are based on both assessments by professional reviewers and input from real shoppers. We weigh the conclusions of trusted sources that conduct rigorous hands-on testing and scour online user reviews to gain insight into the long-term performance, practical features, and potential flaws of purchases made.

Our featured Readers’ Choice selections are backed by extensive in-house data on what our audience is actually buying, and our editors’ Cheapism Choices — from taste test favorites to travel destinations — are vetted with the meticulous care of experts who recognize that behind every budget is a bucket list.

Cheapism does not accept any payment or other gratuity from any manufacturers or retailers in exchange for recommending or discussing their products, so our audience knows they can trust us. Our picks are based entirely on our own exhaustive research and adhere to strict editorial guidelines. We do participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission if products are purchased through a link on our site. This helps support our work and does not influence our recommendations.
