Shoppers love Amazon for the savings. The online retailer is famous for undercutting the competition. But smart shoppers know there are tricks that can net even greater savings. Here are three.
Amazon shopping trick #1
If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you’re entitled to free two-day shipping. But if you’re not in a hurry, select “No-Rush Shipping” instead. Your order will arrive within five days.

Amazon shopping trick #2
