Amazon just had its second Prime Day event of the year last week, offering major discounts on TVs, computers, gaming consoles and more. If you missed out though, don't fret.
We've got three words for you: Amazon Warehouse deals.
This little-known feature is one of our favorite hidden Amazon shopping tricks, and it's routinely gotten us up to 70% off almost any kind of product. You don't even need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage; you just need to know where to look.
That may sound too good to be true, but an Amazon Warehouse deal is actually just a (sometimes major) discount on returned, damaged, lightly used or refurbished items. And yes, free two-day shipping (one of the Amazon Prime membership perks) applies to most products, in case you need to rush for a last-minute gift. (P.S. Here's what to know about detangling Amazon's sometimes confusing return options.)
We'll tell you everything you need to know about how to use this trick next time you're shopping on Amazon.
Look for the Amazon Warehouse Deals page
We often begin Amazon searches on the Amazon Warehouse Deals landing page, because it cuts out full-price listings almost entirely so you mostly just see the discounted items (we'll get to one exception shortly). To get there, open Amazon using either a desktop browser or the Amazon mobile app and search for "Amazon warehouse" or "warehouse deals."
Rather than getting a list of search results like normal, you should see a screen that looks a lot like the main Amazon search page, with a search bar, eb ay.com United states categories and so on. From there you can browse categories like Computers & Tablets, Kitchen or Home Improvement (click these and other links in this story to see actual, current Warehouse Deals listings) or you can search for more specific items just like you would on the regular Amazon homepage, except the results will be discounted, sometimes heavily.
This quick and easy approach works best if you're not in the market for something in particular -- say you're just looking for gift ideas or killing time during your lunch break.
