Subscribe & Save
Amazon subscribe and save will allow you to set up an ongoing shipment of some of your most commonly bought items. Things like laundry soap, toilet paper, pet food, and more can be sent to your door at a discounted rate via subscribe & save. Save an extra 10-15% on items you already have to buy for your home! If you find that you don’t need something on a given month, pause it and it can be pushed off to a different month.
Today’s Deals
When shopping on Amazon you need to navigate to the today’s deals tab. This will allow you to find items that are on a quick deal that has a time limit. Some of these deals will only be available for an hour while others will be available only for a day. Scrolling these deals by category can help you to find some huge savings on items you already have to buy! I will go here first when shopping!
Amazon Outlet
The Amazon outlet offers discounted deals on items they have too much of. These deals are not predictable. You can look at it by category or by certain price discrepancies. This will allow you to find items you need without paying more.
On Site Coupons
When shopping, be sure to look at the item you are purchasing. Some will have a box you can click for a coupon to use instantly on that item. Some vendors will add coupon codes to their product page to help you save a bit more on your products.
Take advantage of deal sites and groups.
There are many groups and daily deal websites that offer you insight into the daily deals offered on a variety of items. Join these groups or follow deal websites to get an idea of what kind of discount you can find on items you need or didn’t know you needed! These sites will have access to coupon codes and find deals you weren’t looking for.
**Important note – Some of these deals will look too good to be true. This is because they are. You are welcome to try using a coupon code on these deals as long as you understand that your order may be cancelled.
Buy Refurbished
Amazon has a large selection of refurbished items you can purchase. These items will be from a variety of topics including computers, office supplies, and even lawn/garden products!
