Tip:

There is a very useful addon that you can install that allows you to highlight a price of an item you are interested in and then actually emails when the price drops! This has saved me so much money. A couple months prior to my children’s birthdays or Christmas, I like to go through Amazon and “pinx” items that my children want, so I can be sure I am notified when the price drops from its current list price. You can find out more about Pinx here.

Tip:

Did you know you can pay the price of a single unit sold in Bulk without purchasing in bulk? If you are already purchasing over $25 in qualifying items Amazon will allow you to select the quantity of a bulk item you would like to purchase. Just  look for this box:

Tip:

Afraid of not being home when your package is being delivered? Some areas have an Amazon locker.you can choose to have your item shipped there instead of delivered to your home. Not available in your area?  FedEx and UPS have a shipping option that lets you send your orders to a nearby FedEx Kinkos or UPS Store location.
