Best things to buy on Amazon
How do you know what is a good deal and what isn’t? I’ve compiled a list of top items you should be buying on Amazon.
These are not the ONLY things you should buy from Amazon, but more times than not, these are just as good if not better deals then in the stores.
What can I order from Amazon?
Now, not everything is cheaper on Amazon. There are still plenty of items that are cheaper in the store, even without coupons, but Amazon does have its benefits.
For one (and its a biggie), you can get items delivered to your door for FREE! I know life can be so busy, so having items waiting at your door instead of having to head out to the store can definitely be a blessing.
What are the best things to buy on amazon prime?
If you have Amazon Prime, get free 2 day delivery as a prime member and more wonderful perks.
From groceries to household items and more, there are lots of interesting finds on Amazon.
Let’s get started with the best stuff to buy on amazon!
Here are my top things to buy on Amazon:
Once you start shopping on Amazon, you will love it!
Most of these are inexpensive and the best things to buy on amazon under 20 dollars.
1. Paper goods
I have been buying toilet paper and paper towels from Amazon for a few years now. I was leery at first, but the price almost always beats what I can find in the stores, even with coupons!
It is nice to be able to buy the brand I love and still save. When looking for the best deals on toilet paper and paper towels, check to see if the product you are buying offers Subscribe & Save, this will save you even more money automatically.
If you Subscribe to 5 items delivered in the same month, you will save even more.
2. Fashion Accessories
I cannot tell you how many times I have found cute jewelry, scarves and other accessories at very nice prices on Amazon. If I am looking to accessorize a new outfit I always check Amazon first. The next time you are looking for something, whether it be a necklace, a scarf or even bows for the girls, check Amazon first.
3. Cleaning Supplies
Really? Yep! Probably my favorite cleaning supplies to purchase from Amazon are Lysol Wipes and Finish Dishwasher tabs.
Finish is my favorite dishwasher tab (I think they work great), but they can be so expensive in the store. Like paper goods, look for Subscribe & Save deals to reduce your cost. You can even find eCoupons you can clip, reducing your price even more.
Every time I see these products at a good price on Amazon, I stock up so I’ll be set for a while!
4. Books and eBooks
Amazon is a great place to find all types of books to read! I have found physical books for myself and the kids for much cheaper then book store costs. I have also found eBooks for FREE and cheap many times.
Did you know that you don’t need a Kindle to read Kindle books? I know that might sound contradictory, but it’s true. You can download this free Kindle reading app for your smart phone, tablet or computer and download books straight to it.
5. Baby Items
I don’t have a baby anymore, but I am always on the look out for good deals on diapers and wipes for baby showers. Amazon is a great place to buy name brand diapers and wipes for less! To get the very best deal on baby items, you can become an Amazon Mom member.
If you are already an Amazon Prime member, Amazon Mom is FREE. When available, Amazon Mom can save you as much as 20% more! Also look for eCoupons and Subscribe & Save offers for baby items.
6. Movies
We love buying movies for the kids for Christmas and birthdays and our kids love receiving them. Amazon has a huge selection of DVD and Blu-ray movies, often priced at really low prices. My favorite deals are when I find movies anywhere from $1-5.
If you don’t care for physical movies, but are an Amazon Prime member, you can stream movies and TV shows for as little as FREE! There are literally thousands of titles to choose from.
7. Kitchen Gadgets
I don’t think I can tell you all of the great things I have bought for my kitchen (or as gifts for someone else’s kitchen). There really are so many different deals you can grab for way less then in the stores!
Some of the most popular items I’ve found include these baking scoops, Rachel Ray Cookware and SO much more! Amazon is the first place I look for deals on kitchen supplies.
8. Toys
Toys are great to buy on Amazon anytime of year, but especially in the months leading up to Christmas. Don’t fight the crowds in the stores only to find out the toy you are looking for is sold out.
Next time, try Amazon. We’ve bought LEGOs, Barbies, American Girl accessories and so much more from Amazon, and all for prices that make store prices look outrageous!
9. Office & School Supplies
You can often find nice deals on printers and ink on Amazon. I bought my wireless laser printer from Amazon a few years ago and it is still working great. Amazon often has toner at reduced prices.
In my opinion, toner is way cheaper then ink cartridges for ink jet printers. Toner gets marked down frequently, so I can usually find it for cheap when I need a new one.
I hadn’t looked for school supplies on Amazon until this year, but I was pleasantly surprised at how many deals I was able to find. Some of these deals may have been slightly more then what I could find in the stores during a sale, but with supplies to buy for 8 kids, I was happy to have the option of things shipped to my door for FREE.
10. Clothing
Ok, I know what you’re thinking. Clothing? Really? To which I respond, yes clothing! You can often find deals for kids as well as mom and dad.
My favorite piece of clothing I have bought from Amazon have to be my leggings! They are super comfortable, keep everything where it should be AND keep me warm during outside sporting events.
I have also purchased coats for my kids and shoes for myself! If you are scared of buying clothing items from Amazon, read through the recent ratings.
You will get a fairly good picture of what to expect and whether you need to think about ordering a size up or down.
Should I buy clothes on Amazon?
You can buy clothes and more on Amazon. From personal items to snow boots, you will find items you need at a great price.
No worries if they don’t fit because you can return the item easily.
How to get things cheap on amazon
There are so many other items I buy from Amazon, but these are by far my top items you should be buying from Amazon. I love finding a great deal, but with 8 kids now, I love convenience, too. One of the children needed a new easy to clean stainless steel water bottle and I needed a bottle opener and I went straight to Amazon!
If I can find an item on Amazon that has a comparable price to what I’ve seen in the store that’s a good deal to me. What is an even better deal is if I get FREE delivery straight to my door. I just don’t have the time to drive from store to store looking for deals.

I bought my wedding dress off amazon for under $200 it was high quality and shipped fast and saved me a boat load!
Thank you for sharing such great information. I am new at this and being a disabled senior on limited income, saving money is always a blessing. Also I get around by a power chair for most of my travels, so not having to carry my purchases or attach them to the back of my head rest will be wonderful. Looking forward to seeing your posts, saving money and having things delivered directly to my house!
Leoita, If you are receiving any type of state assistance such as food benefits or Medicaid, I believe Amazon is still offering a (significant – it was 50%) discount on the cost of prime membership and they allowed you to pay for it in monthly installments (I pay $5.99 per month) and I share the account with my disabled vet son. Together, we save about $150-200 a month over the costs of the select items we purchased if we had purchased it locally, plus we saved the cost of gas, wear & tear on our car & hours of travel time & avoided the risk of traffic accidents. By taking the time to research and learn what local and online prices normally are for products I use most often I have become a smart and careful shopper and can use Amazon to help save money and stretch my budget as far as possible. Making it possible to save up money over time for those things you know are going to have to replace down the line as you begin to see them showing their age and wear.
Thanks for sharing!
I purchase a lot of things from dishwasher tabs to laundry soap. The best deals I have found are the snacks for the kids lunches. I almost never go to the store for anything except groceries. I have also set up wish lists for different household item and watch them as when the price drops amazon will notify you. Recurring items put in a list also. If you use the dash buttons make sure to check k them for newer items or price decreases. I have 5 kids and definitely don’t have time to go from store to store.
Great tips – thanks for sharing!
Carrie,
Which leggings do you recommend?
These are the ones that I love! https://www.amazon.com/90-Degree-Reflex-Leggings-Control/dp/B00YQ6UKE0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=3V6NS3WEDGCY8&keywords=90+degree+leggings&qid=1564014242&s=gateway&sprefix=90+degree+leggings,aps,165&sr=8-5&linkCode=sl1&tag=eatface-20&linkId=318d0320c94a15d0b47065a832d4ce0c&language=en_US (aff)
I buy my Mio water enhancers from Amazon. Cheaper than Walmart. I am also looking into buying dog and cat food too. Cheaper than Walmart and Chewy.com. And all my kids and grandbabies gifts will be from Amazon this year.
Where do you find coupons on Amazon?
The coupons are generally advertised on Amazon next to the price and there is a button that says “click this coupon”. They are rare but great when I find them!
