Amazon.com is a wonderful site where families can save a lot of money when compared to shopping at retail stores. Amazon.com does not have a retail location, just the online storefront and warehouses throughout the United States. They pass on their savings to consumers in the form of lower prices. Amazon is not just for Books and DVD's. Check out the list of products at the bottom of this page.

There are two basic types of transactions that can take place on Amazon. A person can buy something directly from Amazon, or they can buy something from an Amazon partner company. Some of the best deals on the internet can be found when purchasing items directly from Amazon, and qualifying for their Free Shipping (Super Saver Shipping). This program gives the consumer the best of both worlds. Low Internet Prices, and No Shipping Fee.

Main Link to Amazon Homepage - Browse Around and Save. Remember to look for Amazon.com items that qualify for FREE SHIPPING to get the best deal. Usually all that is required is a $25 total purchase on select items.

To save money using Amazon.com, shop around the retail stores to figure out exactly what you want. Then check the price on Amazon. You will find significant savings on new and used books, dvds, housewares, baby items (strollers, car seats, etc) and hard to find items. If there are certain clothing items that you buy regularly, check the pricing on Amazon. Some items that we found to be priced higher than elsewhere were diapers and food products.

TIP - You can turn your spare change into Amazon gift certificates with Coinstar. Many Coinstar locations at supermarkets charge a small fee to count your spare change and give you the money. At many of these Coinstar locations you can waive the fee if you select payment by Amazon gift certificate instead of cash.

Amazon.com Gift Certificates are a great idea when you don't know what to get someone.
