How to get the best price and best deal in an Amazon sale
There are a few tools shoppers can use to ensure they are actually buying something that is a good deal. One useful website is CamelCamelCamel.
The site will let you check how much Amazon products have been sold for previously. On the free Amazon price tracker site you can see a price history chart which highlights when the product was the cheapest and by how much.
Use this chart to uncover whether you’re getting a good deal as sometimes, the product has been cheaper on a non-discounted day and, therefore, may be worth holding off purchasing.
For example, this Ninja air fryer was £142.99 in the last sale and is currently priced at £219 so worth keeping an eye on if you're after a Ninja gadget.
Of course it all depends on what you want, but to double check that you are getting a good deal sites like CamelCamelCamel and PriceRunner can really help, by comparing prices on other sites as well as looking at their price history.
Amazon's lightning deal page is also good for helping to separate products using the filter and price option. It will also give you the best deal of the day.
Amazon Warehouse
An easy way to save money on good-quality products is by browsing the Amazon warehouse. This section of the site offers products which customers have returned to Amazon because they were unwanted purchases, they changed their mind or similar.
Although the product may have been used, and the box could be damaged, it will be in full working order as tests have been carried out by Amazon and all you have to do is benefit from the savings.
Amazon currently has 30% off a selection of devices on its Warehouse page, all available to shop now. The site is also included in big sale events too, meaning shoppers can get an extra discount on top of already reduced items.
