If there’s one thing you should know about AncestryDNA kits, it’s that they frequently go on sale. But how often does it happen, and how much can you expect to save? Pretty often and a lot, as it turns out! Check out Groupon Coupons’ guide on when to buy AncestryDNA to score the cheapest price.

How Much is AncestryDNA?

The regular price for an AncestryDNA kit is $99. For an extra $20 you can add on AncestryDNA Traits, which gives you access to 35+ personality traits, such as hair color, earlobe type, and unibrows (a sign of good luck in some cultures!).
