Amazon Outlet: Where to Get Hot (and Cheap) Overstock Deals Online
Buy presents for the low this holiday season at Amazon Outlet.
You don’t have to be all that old to remember the excitement of “outlet shopping” – hitting special shopping centers (or even whole towns – Freeport, Maine, anyone?) for deals on overstock, returned or sometimes separate bargain-lines of product. It only makes sense that the nation’s biggest online retailer, Amazon.com, would play this game with its own outlet — without the bricks and mortar (and ancillary candy and fudge vendors).
So, if you're weighing Amazon Prime perks against the cost of a membership, Amazon Outlet is one good reason to stick around. Especially if you still have Christmas shopping to do.
Plus, Amazon isn't selling used or second-hand items. Some are even quite high end (think Apple, Bose, Marmot and Pendleton). Amazon Outlet items are actual overstocks (Amazon bought too many of them), discontinued items or just plain old clearance items. And they cut across a retail swath. That means you’ll see deals on clothing, kitchenware, home decor, electronics and other arenas.
