Do you shop a lot on Amazon? Here's the trick shoppers aren't using to unlock hidden discounts

Many shoppers have flocked to Amazon over the years to find lower prices on items, but they may be missing out on even lower prices hidden on the site.

Many shoppers turn to Amazon to find the lowest price on items they are looking to purchase. However, since upending the retail market, the massive online marketplace now has competition from other major brick-and-mortar stores.

They have scrambled to develop their own online presence, so to make sure you are getting the best deal, you have to look around more carefully these days. There are a number of apps that can help you now to crosscheck prices from different retailers.

However, there is a little known place on Amazon’s own website where you may find even better deals that won’t turn up on the main page when searching for steals.

Do you shop a lot on Amazon? Here’s the trick shoppers aren’t using to unlock hidden discounts

Just like any other retailer, Amazon has an Outlet where customers can find overstock and clearance items at incredibly low prices compared to what you would otherwise have to pay. These items from premium and Amazon brands are new and unused.

However, The Practical Mom explains in a YouTube video that be careful that sometimes not everything is as it seems. You will want to use a price comparison app to help speed up your confirmation that you are really getting a good deal.

Another place you might find some real steals is in Amazon Resale, previously known as Amazon Warehouse. This page contains open-box and refurbished products at discounted prices. You can find any number of items from digital cameras and laptops to households items and Amazon devices.

And the best part, you don’t need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of these deals. However, if you do a lot of shopping on Amazon and you aren’t already a Prime member, it would be well worth becoming one.

That’s because, even if you don’t need fast, free shipping, or especially if not, choose no-rush shipping instead of two-day shipping when you make your purchase to earn Amazon rewards.

You can also sign up for Amazon Coupons or just visit the Amazon’s coupons page to check out the extensive list of products that are being discounted. All you need to do is “clip” the digital coupon by checking the box that says “Apply coupon” before putting the item in your cart.
