7 Things I’ve Learned Shopping on Amazon

As a Home & Fashion Content Creator, I am on Amazon ALL day looking for fantastic deals and fresh new finds for you. Here are seven key insights I’ve learned and want to share. Amazon Prime Day is coming up; you can “follow” me on the actual Amazon app, so you don’t miss a thing and can EASILY access my content.

1️⃣ Prime is a game-changer: I’ve had Prime forever, it seems! It’s the secret weapon of Amazon. With fast & free shipping, sometimes one day, I can have my items without the wait. It’s a total game-changer for a procrastinator. If you do not have Prime yet, here’s a link to sign up for a free 30-day trial.

2️⃣ Reviews are key: I’ve learned to always read reviews before hitting that “Add to Cart” button. They provide valuable insights from fellow shoppers, helping me make smarter purchasing decisions. You can see videos and photos of the actual product! It’s like having a community of virtual shopping buddies! Obviously, read with an open mind; some reviews seem odd. 

3️⃣ The search bar is my best friend: With millions of products on Amazon, utilizing the search bar has become my go-to move. Type in specific keywords, filters, and voila! Instant access to endless options tailored to my needs. And you know about the photo search option, right?! 📸  All you have to do is screenshot something you are looking for and tap the camera button in the search bar. It will ask you if you want to Shop Your Photo. It finds everything similar on Amazon. This is not always accurate, LOL but a great tool and my secret for finding some good deals.

4️⃣ Price comparison is a must: I’ve realized that Amazon is a hub of competitive prices. It pays off to compare prices across different sellers to ensure I’m getting the best deal possible. A few extra minutes of research can save big bucks!

5️⃣ Deals and discounts are everywhere: Amazon is like a treasure trove of deals and discounts. From lightning deals to coupons and special promotions, I’ve learned to keep my eyes peeled for those sweet savings while browsing the site and checking the deals tabs daily! 

6️⃣ The Wishlist/Save for Later is my organizational savior. It helps me keep track of the things I want, making future purchases a breeze and avoiding impulse buys. If you save for later, Amazon will tell you when something has a price change! 

7️⃣ Returns are mostly hassle-free. It’s as simple as initiating a return and taking it to Kohls. You can also print a label and have it picked up right at your house. (Is this available everywhere?) Their hassle-free return policy gives me peace of mind when trying something new. 

So there you have it, my friends! These are just a few of the valuable lessons I’ve learned while navigating the wonders of Amazon.

Do you have any tricks you’ve learned over the years?
