In an ideal world Amazon would prefer you to buy everything at full price but to be fair to them they do offer some great ways to save money if you hunt for special promotions or stackable deals. Here are some ways to save money at Amazon……
Voucher codes section
Simply put these are discounts that are automatically applied at check out or on the first subscription (with subscribe and save). Some vouchers may only be available to Prime members. This page shows a full list of them and is searchable.
Subscribe and save
When buying selected products from Amazon you may see this option called ‘Subscribe & Save‘, basically you pay today’s price and they ship your product out, then after the allotted time frame they will send you another and this continues.
In exchange for regular deliveries you get the 5% off your first order and all subsequent orders but the beauty of this is you can amend your subscription at any point, to change the date or simply cancel the subscription. Either way a nice 5% off your first and future purchases is always welcome, subscribe to more than 5 items and get 15% off the whole lot.
