We all know how great Amazon is! You can shop for just about anything you need without ever leaving the house! We all also know that Amazon also often has some really great deals, but there are a couple of things you can do to save even more and make sure you are getting the best price.
- Become an Amazon Prime member. There are many ways in which Amazon Prime can benefit you. If you shop at Amazon, you can get free 2 day shipping. If you like to read, you qualify for thousands of free ebooks. If you like to save money, Prime members are often offered member-only prices. If you like to stream your movies and TV shows, there are thousands available on Amazon Instant Video, many of which are free for Prime members. Amazon Prime costs $99 per year. That is approximately $8.99 per month for all of those benefits!
- Take advantage of Amazon coupons. Using coupons doesn’t always mean searching the paper and clipping coupons, just to stand in line and have the customer behind you in line at the grocery store roll their eyes. Amazon has hundreds of coupons available for you to virtually click and use on your product purchases!
- Check out the Amazon Deal of the Day & Lightning Deals. Amazon offers super low prices on several of items each day on their Gold Box Deal of the Day page. In addition, on this same page you will find Lightning Deals which are constantly changing and last only hours (or until supplies run out).
- Use Amazon Family. Are you a parent or caregiver? If so, then you automatically qualify for Amazon Family. Sign up here and you can save an extra 20% on all diaper orders, plus more savings on care-giving related items.
- Find Subscribe and Save deals. If you order household goods, food or beauty items, you have likely seen Subscribe and Save deals offered on Amazon. This subscription option gives the shopper an automatic savings of 5% and free shipping (regardless of Prime member status). If you subscribe to 5 or more items, your savings will rise to 15%. Subscribe and Save is a no commitment program because you can cancel your subscription at any time.
