1. Sign Up for Amazon Prime (it's worth it)

Free Trial: Amazon offers a 30-day free trial of Prime, which includes free shipping, access to Prime Video, and other perks. If you shop frequently, it might be worth subscribing after the trial period.

Prime Day and Early Access: As a Prime member, you can access exclusive deals, especially during Prime Day and Black Friday events.

2. Use Amazon's Subscribe & Save

For items you regularly purchase (e.g., toiletries, household goods, or groceries), Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program offers discounts of up to 15% for regular deliveries.

You can also cancel the subscription at any time, but the savings often make it worth it for frequent purchases.

3. Price Trackers and Comparison Tools

Use price tracking tools like CamelCamelCamel or Keepa to monitor Amazon prices. These tools track price history, alert you when prices drop, and help you determine if it's a good deal.

Honey and other browser extensions often offer discounts or help you find the best deals when checking out.

4. Look for Amazon Warehouse Deals

Amazon offers discounted prices on returned, damaged, or open-box items through Amazon Warehouse. These items are often still in great condition and can save you a lot of money.

5. Check Amazon Outlet and Deals

The Amazon Outlet has clearance items, including seasonal items, clothes, and electronics at discounted prices.

The Today’s Deals section includes daily Lightning Deals, which are short-term offers with limited stock.

6. Use Gift Cards or Amazon Credit

Sometimes, Amazon offers promotions where you can earn gift cards with purchases. Additionally, using third-party gift card sites (such as Rakuten or GiftCardsCanada), you can often buy Amazon gift cards at a slight discount.

7. Shop Internationally (if fees allow)

If a product is cheaper in a different Amazon marketplace (like Amazon US), check the shipping fees and duties. Sometimes it may be worth buying from Amazon.com and having it shipped to Canada, especially for high-demand or hard-to-find items.

8. Wait for Big Sale Events

Keep an eye on Amazon’s seasonal sales events such as Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and even Boxing Day sales. Many items go on deep discount during these events.

9. Use Amazon's "Coupons" Page

Amazon offers digital coupons for a variety of products, which can save you money directly on the product price. You can browse the Amazon Coupons section and click to apply them at checkout.

10. Set Alerts for Price Drops

Set up price alerts for items you’re interested in on Amazon. This ensures that you’re notified when a price drops, helping you purchase at the lowest price possible.

11. Use Amazon's Visa or Credit Cards (if available)

In Canada, Amazon offers an Amazon.ca Rewards Visa Card, which earns you cashback on all your purchases, including Amazon purchases. If you’re a frequent shopper, this can add up over time.

By combining these strategies, you can maximize your savings while shopping on Amazon!
