Amazon has become the main online store, thanks to the fact that it offers very competitive prices, along with excellent after-sales service. Today we explain 10 simple tricks, which you can use to buy all kinds of products within Amazon, in a cheaper way.
Take advantage of Amazon Basics products
Amazon Basics is the own brand that Amazon has created, to market hundreds of products within its platform. Amazon uses some of the best-known manufacturers to produce these types of products, so their quality is usually at the level of products that cost more money.
The volume of daily sales that Amazon handles is very high, this means that you can buy a large number of products, and obtain much more adjusted prices. This is essential to be able to sell these products at a cheaper price.
Don't forget about the other Amazon stores
The most normal thing is for a Spanish citizen to go to Amazon Spain to buy their products, but we must not forget that this electronic commerce giant is present in many other European countries , and in each of them it has its own store.
Amazon offers are not usually global, so they do not have to be produced in all countries. This means that you can turn to stores in other countries such as Italy, France and Germany to find discounted products at a bargain price. You can use your Amazon Spain account to log in and buy from stores in other countries.
Use Amazon Pantry to buy cheap on Amazon
Amazon Pantry is a service that Amazon offers, and that can help us save a lot of money on our purchases. It is a system of recurring purchases , with which we can obtain a significant discount when buying the products we use the most.
For example, you can make a joint purchase with your friends, to get razors at a much cheaper price, without having to worry about anything. Maximum convenience and money saving, you can't ask for more.
Do not neglect the offers
It seems like common sense, but many users do not remember that Amazon has a section of offers within its platform. Taking advantage of the discounts offered is as simple as searching for " Offers ", and once inside, access the department that interests you.
The Amazon interface will show you all the offers that are available at the moment, in addition to the percentage of reduction in the price, and the time remaining for the offer to come to an end. A very simple system, but one that can save you a lot of money if you learn to use it wisely.
Wait for Amazon promotions
Amazon sells a large number of products under its own brand. In addition to all the Amazon Basics products, you will also find the Amazon Kindle, Amazon Fire, and Amazon Echo products .
These products are usually very competitively priced throughout the year, but Amazon offers some very interesting promotions two or three times a year . If you are patient you can get one of these products for half the price or even less. In more than once, the Amazon Fire 8-inch tablets have been seen for only € 50.
Check the price history
You are browsing Amazon, and you find a product at a price that seems very good to you, although you do not really know if the price is at its minimum, or if on the contrary it is quite high, compared to what is usual within the platform.
On these occasions, the best thing you can do is consult the Amazon price history , in this way you will be able to know the evolution that the price of the product in question has had, over the last few months or weeks.
Amazon does not offer this information, although fortunately you can know it in a very simple way, using some browser extensions such as Keepa.
These extensions add graphs to Amazon products, showing the price evolution over time so you can see if it is a good time to buy it, or if it is better to wait.
Find similar products
Inside Amazon you can find thousands of highly competitive products. This means that many other manufacturers will be offering a product that is very similar to the one you are looking at right now, but they may be doing it for a much lower price and with the same quality .
This is very common in all types of technology products such as televisions, blu-ray players, speakers, hard drives, USB sticks and much more. Comparing prices is really very simple since when you are looking at a product, Amazon's own platform is responsible for offering very similar alternatives , below the product in question.
Going out of style is cheaper
We all like to be fashionable, but this can be quite expensive. Are you looking for the pants that are most worn this season and you see that their price is too high? Look at other products that go outside the design pattern , it is something very simple, but it can save you many euros throughout the year.
This is something that also applies to colors. Black and white are usually the most popular colors, so products based on these two colors can be more expensive than other more daring products. Look for a ghost sweater and you will see what a lower price.
The secret code of the offers
The last trick we offer is something very useful but very few users know. Amazon has a secret code, which we can use to filter offers in a price range that interests us. Using it is as simple as adding the code to the end of the URL of the product you are viewing.
This secret code is "p_8% 3 AMin-Max". You just have to substitute the "Min" and "Max" values for the amount of discount you want to apply. For example, if we put "p_8% 3A60-80" we will be filtering the products that have a discount between 60% and 80%.
