So many savings, so little time... . (Photo: Amazon)(Photo: Amazon)
Super-savvy old-school coupon clippers can make an art form out of saving money. And though you may think online shopping doesn't quite allow for the same form of self-expression, you'd be wrong. At least when it comes to Amazon.
There's one place at Amazon you can go to access a bounty of coupons. It's just like thumbing through the newspaper in olden times. You can see what coupons are available, search for coupons from your favorite brands and generally revel in the thrill of saving.
Amazon's secret page of coupons is available to you anytime. (Get a load of the categories list on the left column!)
On this special secret page, Amazon offers up various discounts on things like tools, pet supplies, electronics and fashion. You can "clip" (aka "click") the coupons of your choice, and the items are added to your cart for purchase — the discount is applied when you check out, now or later. Don't worry if you don't see the discount in your cart right away — it shows up at checkout.
You can also use the search bar on the coupons page to hunt down coupons for brands you like. Above the list of categories on the left side, click "your coupons" to view all of coupons you've clipped; this is a great tool for comparing discounts.
The "Sort By" drop-down menu can show various groupings: coupons offering the biggest savings; coupons based on expiration date; and the most popular "couponed" items.
Coupons are only eligible for one item, which means if you buy three identical massagers, only one will receive the extra discount.
New coupon offers are constantly being added, so bookmark this hub and check it regularly for up-to-date savings.
Although you don't have to use your coupons immediately, there is an expiration date for each, so if you find something you want, best to get it sooner rather than later.
If you return an item bought with a coupon, the amount you saved might be subtracted from the return credit.
You can share a coupon on social media or via e-mail, so if you find a discount that a friend will love, send it their way (it won’t take away your ability to use it).
Head on over to Amazon's "secret" coupon page and scope out a slew of savings. But first have a gander at these products we plucked from the latest listings. Happy shopping!
OMG guys I’m OBSESSED! I already have three pairs of these leggings and plan on getting more!" said a happy customer. "They’re that good! I took comparison pictures to my Alphalete Amplifies, and they’re almost identical."
"Kicking myself for not getting an 'instant' read thermometer sooner!" said a five-star fan. "I've now used it for testing done-ness of meat, for checking the heat of frying oil, for reading the temperature of water (when I need it to be under boiling). Heck, I even used it to check my body temperature by (carefully) sticking it under my tongue. The light-up screen and automatic rotation is super helpful. The stick itself is comfortably long for any of my uses so far."
"My wife went into labor a year and a half ago, and that labor went very quickly....so quickly that she ended up giving birth on our bed in the presence of EMTs," a five-star reviewer said. "The next day, once things had calmed down, I went home to clean up before they came home. For those who have witnessed or gone through childbirth, you know what a mess I arrived to.... Let's just say I was fully expecting to be purchasing a new mattress. To my amazement, once I'd bagged our sheets and this mattress pad, our mattress was perfectly fine. I bought another one immediately and will continue to use this brand."
"Used this to jump-start a car that had been sitting up for months. Followed instructions that were included, and it started right up!!!" said a happy customer. "After jumping car, it still has 98% charge — WOW! Love this thing, now I know I have back up when electricity goes off or when on the go, can charge phone, laptop, whatever!!! Also has emergency flashing light, flashlight and compass. Will keep in vehicle for emergencies!"
"These earbuds are amazing quality for an amazing price," said a five-star fan. "They have great sound quality and are very comfortable. My ears are small, so it is difficult to find comfortable earbuds, but these are great and have four different sizes for all ears."
"What really surprised me about this scale was how easy it was to set up," a happy shopper said. "I’m used to having to go through various Bluetooth pairing processes but, once I put the batteries in and created a profile In the Renpho app, it found the scale automatically."
"We have two toddler girls who kept having these horrible red welts on their skin that we would find in the morning. Turns out that, like their mother, they are highly sensitive to mosquito bites. Out of desperation we bought this little guy and since then, not one bite, only the great satisfaction of seeing the machines overnight kills," a bug-free owner said. "We hate mosquitoes, and so we are very happy with this product. We now have three."
