Amazon Guide: How To Save If You're An Amazon Maniac

Amazon.com is a shopping site where you can buy almost everything-- groceries, appliances, electronics, gadgets, clothes, accessories, and such. Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, made sure that Amazon's customers get the best stuff online at the best possible low price. However, although there are good deals and offers that customers can avail to, there are still items that do not guarantee the best deals. Although items are at its lowest price possible, customers need to be aware of how much difference will it give them and how much they can save if they purchase an item on Amazon. This is why enrolling for Amazon Prime is an advantage.

Amazon Prime is a premium account where Amazon gives out exclusive deals to its members. If you're a Prime member, there are benefits that you can avail that non-Prime members cannot. One of these benefits is whenever Amazon launches a sale, you can get advanced access. This means you can start ordering before the actual sale day comes. This is an advantage because you can get to avail of the sale items earlier than anyone. 

If you're one of the people who still struggle to know which deals are the best and which ones are not, here is a list of tips and guidelines that you can use when you shop in Amazon.
