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 the perfect beach blanket to chic, silver beads for friendship bracelets.
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. New linen tablecloth for half off? Yes, please!
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. We spotted this extra large roasting pan for more than half off! It's perfect for meal prep Sundays.
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 and appliances such as fans, heaters, rechargeable batteries and other smart finds.
PATIO + GARDEN DEALS
The lawn and garden section of Amazon Outlet is full of discounts right now, from seed starters to gardening tools. Plus, get a head start on summer entertaining with new outdoor cushions or an inflatable pool for half off!
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 spa bathroom upgrades under $30.
