If you haven’t already tried our Amazon Discount Finder tool above, it is a great place to start. To get the most out of the tool, be sure to enter as much information as possible and select a broad discount range (typically more than 30% is ideal).

Whilst this tool is a great way of finding hidden Amazon bargains, some items listed on Amazon.co.uk have the real price listed incorrectly, which can make the savings appear larger than they actually are. It is always a good idea to check the normal retail price of the products you are searching for.

How does it work?

When you search for products on Amazon, not all of the available filters are visible. We use these hidden filters to display products that have the biggest savings. Our Amazon bargain finder makes it easy to find these sneaky discounted products that can often be lost in the sea of results you receive with a regular search on Amazon.co.uk.

To find discounted items, you will need to enter the department and sub-category for the item you are looking to purchase (For example, ‘electronics’ is the department and ‘camera’ is the subcategory if you are looking for a digital camera).

You will also need to select a minimum and maximum price for your item. The pricing filters can help remove unwanted items from your search results, such as free ebooks.

How much can I actually save?

There are a lot of products with discounts of up to 60% off RRP. Occasionally, you will discover even better savings, with some items discounted by as much as 80%.

The Amazon discount finder tool is also a great way to discover free products available on the website. These are mostly digital products, such as eBooks, games, podcasts, etc. It is important to note that sometimes items listed as free will have an optional paid add-on.

With the slider, you can quickly adjust the discount range you are looking for. The default is 20-75% off the recommended retail rate, which should provide the best results for most products.

The discount finder tool is also a great way of finding end of the line and discontinued products that are heavily reduced. Whether you are looking for a TV, health and beauty or home wares, you are sure to find great deals.

Is it really the cheapest price?

Whilst Amazon generally has great prices and the discount tool helps you find the best bargains available on the website, we recommend you always check prices at other retailers. Remember that many retailers also have discount codes and deals that further reduce their listed prices.

If you don’t mind waiting a few weeks for your item to arrive, Aliexpress offers some of the cheapest prices available online. The items normally ship from China, which is why delivery can take a few weeks. Aliexpress is particularly affordable for products such as phone covers and novelty products.

For more expensive and larger items, such as furniture, it is worth looking at other retailers who specialise in those products.

Beware of Shipping Costs

It is important to consider the cost of shipping before making a purchase. Some items on Amazon, particularly those in the Marketplace, are sold at extremely cheap prices but have high postage prices. Make sure you always check the total combined price (item price + postage cost) against prices at other stores and sellers.
