Your Amazon Prime subscription holds many secrets and perks. Among them is a powerful tool to save on groceries — welcome news for shoppers battered by inflation.

So, if you're tired of watching food costs skyrocket, check out Amazon Prime Grocery Outlet, a subset of Prime’s other online offerings, including Amazon Fresh and Amazon Grocery. One of many Amazon Prime benefits, Amazon Prime Grocery Outlet carries pantry staples, plus non-perishable items. They don't carry produce, but you will find meat and seafood — Slim Jim Steakhouse Strips and StarKist canned tuna, to be exact.
