Amazon Tips and Hints

I love shopping on Amazon for many reasons. The first is because it is so convenient and I can do it from home. If I don’t have to go out to the store that is time and gas saved. Overtime I have learned how to take advantage of the great offerings Amazon can bring and want to share them with you.

Make the Most of Amazon with these Helpful Tips and Hints

If the price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you’ll automatically receive the lowest price. Here’s how (restrictions apply)

Daily Lightning Deals-In conjunction with their Daily Gold Box Deal, Amazon hold Lightning Deals. Lightning Deals remind me of Kmart’s old Blue Light Specials. They pop up and only last for a short time. They list a schedule of the Lightning Deals on the Daily Deal page. So make sure to check and see if the topics featured interest you.

Amazon Prime-A membership program that gives your family unlimited fast shipping from Amazon. This includes free 2 day shipping. Amazon Prime does cost $79 a year but it pays for itself because with Amazon Prime you get other benefits besides shipping.

Amazon Student- A FREE membership program for college students.  Amazon Student members get exclusive discounts on a variety of products and services.  Student Members also get 6 months FREE Amazon Prime Shipping and a special rate of $39 a year for 4 years with automatic renewal.

Super Saver Shipping- Super Saver Shipping can save you plenty of money if you use it correctly. Only items with the Super Saver Shipping logo qualify. You must also spend $25 or more in Super Saver Products. With Super Saver Shipping you will receive FREE SHIPPING. When you get to check-out you need to make sure that Super Saver Shipping is marked, group items together is marked,and all items are going to one address. Shipping is not free on ineligible items.

Subscribe and Save- This feature is available on most household items such as paper towel, toilet paper, laundry supplies, coffee pods, baby items, and more. Subscribe and Save offers a 5% savings when you subscribe to have these items sent to you on a regular basis. You can pick from 1-6 month intervals.  Don’t let this scare you from saving. Once you receive your first shipment if you do not want to continue receiving the shipments, log into your Amazon account and cancel the subscription.

Warehouse Deals- Amazon offers a large selection of items thru their Warehouse Deals. Amazon can offer these large discounts because they receive the product in, check it for quality, check to make sure it works and then serve up the savings to you. The stock frequently changes so it is a great place to check out.

Outlet-Amazon also offers deep discounts on various items in the Amazon Outlet. These items include overstock, clearance items, etc. This items can go fast because they are not likely to be restocked. Items from all departments are offered at these discounts. 

Frequent Price Changes- Amazon sales do not run like Brick and Mortar stores. Their prices can go up and down multiple times in a day at times. If you find a deal that you want, you are going to want to get it then because it may not be there when you go back. This works both ways so if you want something but it is too high, add it to your Wish List and check back to see if it drops.

 I hope these Amazon Tips and Hints will help you be a successful Amazon Shopper and Saver

 

Hi I’m Gwendolyn and I have been a stay at home mom since 2009. I have been with my husband, James, for 10 years and we are proud parents of Jayme (8) and Nicholas (14). We are also parents to 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hamsters, 2 fish and a snake. My father-in-law lives with us so it is always non-stop at our house. I had the honor of becoming a step-parent when I got married and have a great relationship with my step-son. I always used coupons and shopped for bargains but was forced to step up my game when my husband was disabled in 2005. I get an incredible rush from saving money and finding great deals. My life is a constant journey and I look forward to sharing it with you all.
