Whether you’ve spent this weekend crossing stuff off your Christmas list, buying household essentials or just actually don’t have the cash to spend much at all right now, there are certain freebies and perks Amazon offer you that won’t cost a penny.
Ranging from free cinema tickets and Premiership games through to magazines and books, Black Friday season gives shoppers the chance to pick up some surprise extras from the internet giant alongside the discounts on thousands of products.
And if you do have one or two last things in your basket you’re considering picking up there’s often a handy way to save another 15% on top of the discount? by using Subscribe and Save.
Many of us already have subscription services for products we use all the time and they can be a handy way to make sure you never run out of essentials you love, whether that’s Pact coffee for your coffee pot or Eager fruit juices, which can be bought in bulk in from £2.65 per carton (including delivery) in flavours including apple, orange, pomegranate, cranberry, grapefruit, tomato and pineapple juice and delivered straight to your door.
Amazon’s Subscribe and Save works in a similar convenient way, allowing you to schedule repeat orders for things you use regularly and would need to remember to replace and, for signing up in this way Amazon will give you an extra discount on your purchases. The process is totally flexible and you get an email reminder before each delivery so if you don’t need it you can cancel or push back the sale but crucially some of the things you can get a Subscribe and Save discount on might be unexpected.
For example, if you’re thinking of treating yourself – or someone else – to The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, you can get an extra 10% off the Black Friday deal by agreeing to join Subscribe and Save, taking the price down to £26.54, saving £10.46 on the RRP. Just remember to nip in and cancel it on your Subscribe and Save account here once you’re done.
