When it comes to buying a home, managing costs can be a daunting task. One often-overlooked aspect is the financial impact of Amazon coupons and promo codes. Understanding how to use these resources effectively can make a significant difference in your budget.

Coupons vs Promo Codes: What's the Difference?

• Coupons are discounts applied directly to items when you purchase them online or in-store, usually with specific expiration dates.
• Promo codes, on the other hand, are unique strings of characters that can be entered into an Amazon website or app to receive a discount on a product.

To make the most of Amazon coupons and promo codes, you need to track your purchases and keep a record of all discounts. Start by checking for price drops in your favorite products and look for signs that an item is about to go on sale.

Tracking Your Purchases

• Use Amazon's "Your Orders" section to see where you've purchased items from and when they were bought.
• Check your email for notifications from Amazon when a purchase is ready for pickup or shipping.
• Consider creating a spreadsheet or using an app like LastPass to keep track of all your purchases.

Another way to save money on items you already own is by taking advantage of Amazon's price matching policy. If the item you're looking for drops in price after you buy it, Amazon will match that lower price and send you a notification.

Price Matching Policy

• "If an eligible product falls below our lowest advertised price at any point during its time on sale, we'll automatically match it from the competitors' websites to get you the lowest possible price."
• Some popular competitors with similar low prices include Walmart and Target.
