Amazon Has a Secret Online Outlet and the Deals Are Good
Check these overstock sales first before ordering anything on Amazon.

Savvy shoppers know that Amazon Prime members often see better prices than non-members, but did you know that there's another way to save big while browsing Amazon? There's a website within a website just for clearance buys with discounted electronics, homewares, appliances and more up to 80 percent off. Amazon Outlet is kind of like the front dollar section of Target mixed with that random clearance aisle in the back of TJMaxx peppered with a little bit of Best Buy Black Friday sales. And don't get the "outlet" part confused with Amazon Second Chance. These products are brand-new, have never been opened and are massively discounted. It's a good rule of thumb to check this page first before doing a general search, as you might find exactly what you're looking for already on sale. We've poured through the outlet's dozens of categories and highlighted the best sales. There's a little bit of everything here. So, take a peek at our top picks and treat yourself to some seriously sweet deals.
DEALS UNDER $10
Amazon Outlet has an entire section just for items on sale under $10. And there are some really good finds in here from name brands like Gorilla Grips and OXO. Or, you can try affordable and unique new finds, like a plant-based laundry detergent that comes in sheet form.
A sturdy, stackable dishwasher-safe ice cube tray from OXO is under $10. Plus, the cover slides on and off to prevent spillage in the freezer.
HOME DEALS
We had to refresh our browsers to believe some of the deals we were seeing on home decor. Some of these discounts are better than anything we've seen at overstock websites or even Black Friday sales.
This lightweight down-filled comforter is soft, breathable and perfect for the hotter months of the year, and the box-stitch design ensures even distribution of the feathers.
KITCHEN DEALS
Whether you need to stock up on cooking essentials or you're shopping for countertop appliances, the kitchen section of Amazon Outlet is packed with savings. There's even an air fryer for 50% off.
These silicone baking mats will eliminate the need for parchment paper or non-stick cooking sprays; and they'll protect your pans, too. They're safe to use up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit.
ELECTRONICS DEALS
Unlike Amazon's Daily Deals, Amazon Outlet doesn't have a lot of big-ticket items such as TVs. But it does have great savings on smaller gadgets such as headphones, phone cases and other smart finds. And we've highlighted a deal worth snagging: ear buds for over $70 off.
Compatible with iPhones and Androids, these bass-heavy earbuds are comfortable, durable and originally $100. Plus, from a 10-minute charge, you'll get two hours of playtime, too.
PATIO + GARDEN DEALS
The lawn and garden section of Amazon Outlet is full of discounts right now. There's a comfortable hammock, a propane fire pit and even a grill that's on super sale.
Great for an RV or as a backup for your home, prep for summer thunderstorms with this 425-watt generator. It powers for up to 22 hours on gas, has a quiet motor and comes equipped with space for two household outlets and two USBs.
TOOLS + HOME IMPROVEMENT DEALS
The Amazon Outlet website describes the virtual storefront as "overstock items at under-budget prices" and that couldn't be more true than in the home improvement section. There are so many smart savings here, from name-brand power tools to small tools under $10.
You can't go wrong with a six-piece name-brand screwdriver set under $5. It's made with durable materials and comes in a range of sizes.
