More than half of the money I saved was on the Lii-S1 chargers, and most of the rest was on a couple of Sofirn lights. I only got small discounts on the other stuff.
I do the same as you with discounts - I ignore the overinflated “normal price” and look at real prices. If I can, I compare the previous discounted prices with today’s price. In addition to that, I always compare prices between competing suppliers. All part of the arms race between us and the suppliers’ marketing people.

None of which look remotely correct, it seems like a jumble of random specs thrown together.
What you get, if indeed anything, would be a complete lottery, and it would be hard to claim it wasn’t as described, because they aren’t describing one product here, but many.
I don't have much luck with that Liitokala Official Store in the past but i still go ahead to place a bulk order for Lii-S1. I guess this is the only deal worth considering.

I am new to Aliexpress, I would like to use paypal, some stores use paypal and some do do not. So that limits my selection? or is there a method to use paypal with all transactions?
Not all stores at Aliexpress take Paypal and when I have had items in my cart from 2 different stores that both accept Paypal I have had to pay for each stores items separately in order to use Paypal
I’ve been using Aliexpress since 2014 and made dozens of orders for over a hundred products. I just use my credit card directly. Aliexpress is like the Amazon of China so no worries. Aliexpress also protects you from frauds and defects. I have gotten full refunds from them without having to ship the defective product back.
With other small merchants, I would rather use paypal.
According to the current groupbuy, none of these are actually 90CRI due to manufacturer mistake. The real 90CRI version is being manufactured right now.
I was dithering around looking at other items on the LiitoKala store last night and when I went to checkout, the price on the S1 had jumped back to $7.99
I bought over $300 worth of flashlights from Ali. Among my most notable deal is two Sofirn SF11 for $32.48 shipped. I used a Sofirn store $2 coupon in conjunction with an Aliexpress select coupon of $4 off $30. These make great gifts since they use AA and the light output will surely impress the non flashlight enthusiasts.
First time using Ali for me, I got the newbie $4 coupon to work but couldn’t figure out how to get the $2 sofirn coupon to work.
Figured it out after I had already placed my order. :person_facepalming:
Ordered 2 sofirn sp10a’s, used paypal and they hit me up for $.80
Small amount to pay for full protection.
Ordered last night and they shipped this morning.
