[41]
there are a lot of links that I'm going
[43]
to share tied to today's deals rather
[46]
than waste your time spelling out each
[47]
of the links as we go through the top 10
[49]
saving secrets they're all available on
[51]
Matt's daily deals.com I do use
[53]
affiliate links which means I benefit
[54]
monetarily if you are kind enough to use
[57]
one of my links and while I do host
[58]
programming as an independent contractor
[60]
for Amazon I'm not speaking on behalf of
[62]
the company nor are they endorsing
[64]
anything that I'm going to share with
[65]
you in fact I think this is information
[67]
Amazon might prefer I don't share with
[69]
you reminder to if you want to become a
[71]
prime member there is a free 30-day
[72]
trial to help you out with that and that
[75]
link is on Matt's daily deals.com plus
[78]
during today's video if you watch
[79]
closely I'm going to give you hundreds
[81]
of clippable coupons that will save you
[84]
what could be thousands of dollars over
[86]
the course of a year all of these deals
[89]
and all of these coupons are all part of
[90]
this video that I'm going to share with
[92]
you right now
[93]
insider savings secret number one there
[96]
is a page on Amazon where many of the
[99]
best deals happen to be hidden and a lot
[101]
of you might not know this page actually
[103]
exists there's a special section of
[105]
amazon.com called bargain finds and
[108]
these prices include standard shipping
[110]
and of course the rates may differ by
[112]
destination but if you've never even
[114]
seen a message like this chances are you
[116]
haven't seen the page and many of these
[118]
products range from $3 to about $20
[122]
there's some anomalies and some good
[123]
products this watch on your own exists
[127]
at $12.99 and it's literally impossible
[129]
to find a listing for this in stock on
[132]
Amazon
[133]
the main page if you do a search at
[134]
least at the time that I'm recording
[135]
this and there's deals for all sorts of
[137]
people throughout this video I'm gonna
[139]
show you how to save money on all types
[140]
of things how to find hidden coupons and
[142]
of course some really good deals but
[144]
just as an example on another 13 dollar
[146]
deal on the bargain finds page this 2
[150]
outlet wall-mount with the dual USB
[151]
charge board says $12.99 when I go to
[154]
the main section of Amazon I'm seeing
[156]
this for 35% higher so just throwing
[159]
that out there as something that you
[160]
might need to know as a great way to
[162]
save money even a decently rated $2 and
[166]
98 cent pair of in-ear wired earbuds if
[168]
you find yourselves traveling or if you
[171]
don't have a Bluetooth connection or
[173]
you're doing a lot of Skype or zoom and
[174]
you just want a hardwire into a computer
[175]
this $2 and $0.98 deal with free
[178]
shipping would be another example as my
[180]
savings secret number one insider
[183]
savings secret number two and I feel
[185]
like an idiot every time I just keep
[186]
going like this but I don't have fancy
[188]
graphics because this is a frugal
[190]
youtube channel the savings secret
[191]
number two is tied to the trade-in page
[194]
now some of you know you can actually
[196]
trade in pre-existing devices where
[198]
Amazon will handle the return shipping
[200]
to them for free and then you'll get
[202]
that credit toward an additional device
[204]
but what you might not know is they
[205]
actually run promotions on a special
[207]
version of the trade-in page so for
[209]
example if you were to trade in a select
[210]
cell phone you'll get a bonus on an
[212]
Amazon gift card if you were to trade in
[215]
an old e-reader you get 20% off a new
[217]
Kindle e-reader and that's on top
[218]
getting cash back for the e-reader
[220]
you're already trading in if you have an
[222]
old fire tablet you could trade that in
[224]
fire TV devices like if you have an old
[226]
fire TV stick you want to trade that in
[228]
again huge savings you can also get an
[231]
Amazon gift card plus 25% off a new echo
[234]
device and just to show you how the
[236]
trade end process works it's actually
[238]
seamless you select what it is you want
[239]
to trade in in this example I have a
[241]
first generation old used blink indoor
[245]
home security system you answer a few
[246]
questions about it and not only am I
[248]
getting 50 bucks back for trading in my
[251]
new system but I could get an additional
[253]
discount off of the second generation if
[255]
I choose to buy it for that respective
[257]
product line so you might be thinking
[259]
well it's 50 bucks I paid more at the
[261]
time hey it's more money back in your
[263]
pocket where it belongs
[264]
savings seeker
[266]
number three bookmark the sales section
[269]
of the Amazon warehouse page I'm sure
[272]
many of you guys know that there are
[273]
plenty of gold box deals that have a
[276]
wide range of discounts some of them are
[278]
good
[279]
some of them are not fully worth your
[281]
while at all times and some of the
[283]
products that end up in the gold box in
[285]
today's deal section are listings that
[288]
are dead
[289]
it's not a great way to sort deals
[291]
especially this product but you'll
[293]
likely note the Amazon where a house
[295]
section is better organized and also has
[297]
deals that are in stock so for the
[300]
warehouse products not all of these are
[302]
used some of these are products that
[304]
have just been repackaged some times is
[307]
something shipping to you at your home
[308]
from point A to point B and the box is
[311]
deemed to be damaged which might mean
[313]
scuffed up might be an identity package
[315]
Amazon then receives that on the backend
[318]
repackages it and sends it back out as a
[320]
renewed or warehouse product and that's
[322]
what we're looking at for some of these
[324]
deals so if we were to look right now
[325]
there's a select number of deals but
[327]
something like this Bissell or even this
[329]
euphy anchor Robo vac right now is
[332]
selling for a hundred and forty seven
[335]
dollars versus what could be two hundred
[338]
and thirty or more if you were to
[340]
purchase this product as brand new and
[343]
again all of these prices that I'm
[344]
showing you will differ depending on
[345]
when you're watching this and what's on
[347]
sale at Amazon at that particular time
[349]
but this is a 50% off deal right now on
[351]
a very well rated vacuum as you can see
[353]
and a number one bestseller so that is
[355]
interesting to note and one of the
[356]
reasons you may want to bookmark that
[358]
warehouse deals section and I'm gonna
[360]
give you a saving secret edition right
[362]
near a bit of a bonus once you're in the
[364]
warehouse section pay attention to the
[366]
whoot deals you guys remember what used
[368]
to be a daily deal website and then
[369]
amazon purchased woot and now there are
[372]
all sorts of daily deals that run on the
[374]
website a lot of these are refurbished
[376]
and used products but it's worth a look
[377]
for example on this I five MacBook Pro
[380]
there are some great savings on this
[382]
specific product if you were to log on
[384]
right now and you are going to find
[385]
different products that are brand new as
[388]
well and worth your while for example
[390]
this UV clean phone sanitizer is 49
[392]
bucks I actually have a deal for a phone
[394]
sanitizer that I much prefer on mats
[396]
daily deals.com but
[398]
just as an example that's their some of
[400]
the deals are good some aren't this
[401]
bamboo 4 piece luxury sheet set
[404]
brand-new 17 to 23 dollars is good if
[407]
you want higher-end sheets that might
[408]
not be your pick and just as an example
[410]
on mats daily deals.com I think I found
[412]
a sheet set at $100 off
[414]
it depends what you're looking for but
[416]
of course that would be a good thing to
[417]
keep in mind our is part of Amazon's
[420]
brand new renewed program and the deals
[423]
in this section primarily tied to
[425]
electronics and desktops are the most
[429]
aggressive of anything that I've ever
[430]
seen now I am completely not in favor of
[434]
just buying a renewed e refurbished
[435]
product from anyone in fact for a lot of
[437]
those daily deal websites you see
[439]
there's no accountability if something
[440]
goes wrong with the product the reason I
[442]
like Apple refurbished products when you
[444]
buy directly from Apple and renewed
[445]
products that you buy directly from
[446]
Amazon is there is an additional
[448]
guarantee if you look right now this is
[451]
an amazing deal this is a desktop
[453]
computer with an Intel Core quad
[455]
processor an i-5 16 gigs of ram which is
[458]
absolutely insane and a brand new 480
[462]
gig solid-state drive for $229 54
[466]
percent off guys that is one of the best
[470]
desktop deals I had one last week that I
[472]
featured from the Amazon renewed section
[473]
as well which was 150 and almost loaded
[476]
up as well as this but why am i showing
[478]
you this section while all of the
[480]
products from the Amazon renewed section
[481]
and a reminder I've bookmarked all of
[483]
these sections on Matt's daily deals.com
[484]
is a product that is backed by an
[486]
additional 90 day Amazon renewed
[489]
guarantee the product has been
[490]
professionally tested it's inspected and
[492]
it's tested by Amazon qualified
[494]
suppliers to ensure that it looks like
[497]
new and performs well on certain
[500]
products it's actually better to buy it
[502]
renewed because your typical return
[504]
window for an amazon purchase is 30 days
[506]
when you buy an amazon renewed product
[509]
even if it's just been repackaged you're
[511]
getting it 90 days if anything goes
[513]
wrong with it and that's actually better
[515]
and working to your advantage as a
[517]
consumer and hey it could score you a
[519]
deal on something like a brand new
[520]
iPhone again you're saving $80 right now
[523]
for something that's fully unlocked that
[525]
you could take advantage of and score
[527]
that additional 90 day renewed guarantee
[530]
now I realize many products have
[532]
manufacturer warranties but these days
[535]
with everything going on it's not that
[536]
easy to call up the manufacturer and get
[538]
the service and get everything scheduled
[540]
sometimes just going back to the place
[541]
at which you purchased the product from
[543]
like Amazon is a great way to go so
[546]
these renewed products really something
[547]
to consider inside our savings secret
[550]
number five is you absolutely do not
[553]
need to be a prime member if your main
[556]
reason for using that Prime membership
[557]
is free shipping a lot of people don't
[560]
know this but the average shipping time
[562]
for a non-prime product is between five
[564]
and eight days if you spend over
[566]
twenty-five dollars most products on
[568]
amazon will ship completely for free and
[570]
if you are shopping for something that's
[572]
available from a third party and
[574]
fulfilled by that third party you'll
[575]
often just get free shipping so the
[577]
Prime membership may not be worth your
[579]
while and with that being said if you're
[582]
not using Prime video and some of the
[583]
other benefits which I'll discuss in a
[584]
few moments
[585]
getting anything into your shopping cart
[587]
and bundling together so it's over
[589]
twenty-five dollars will get you
[591]
shipping within that five to eight day
[592]
window and at least at the time that I'm
[594]
recording this video there are
[596]
widespread delay is based on what's
[598]
going on with Amazon shipping times and
[600]
that Prime one to two day free shipping
[602]
doesn't really hold true at least right
[605]
now in my community and with many zip
[606]
codes with which I've tested this again
[608]
everything's different
[609]
not speaking on behalf of Amazon
[611]
shipping times just on behalf of
[612]
personal experience savings secret
[614]
number six I'm sure you guys might have
[617]
noticed that you can't use manufacturer
[619]
coupons at Amazon you can't just submit
[621]
them to customer service and have them
[623]
applied to an order but did you know
[624]
there are coupons galore all waiting for
[627]
you in not-so-obvious section of
[630]
amazon.com I'm not going to call this a
[633]
secret section but I am going to say the
[635]
vast majority of people do not know to
[637]
click this they don't know the link
[638]
exists and they don't know that you can
[640]
actually score all sorts of coupons that
[642]
you can then apply to future purchases
[644]
well I realize $1 off here or $1 there
[647]
might not get you overly excited and I
[649]
realize I have no life and very few
[652]
friends except for the amazing
[653]
subscribers of this channel you're not
[654]
going to believe some of the coupons
[656]
that I'm going to show you right now all
[658]
located
[659]
this section so it does tell you that
[661]
you can save up to 35% off with amazon
[664]
coupons and yeah a dollar here might not
[666]
get you that excited and it's probably
[668]
something you've seen before but let's
[669]
use headphones as an example and you're
[671]
not going to believe some of the coupons
[672]
i show you so on this first pair of
[675]
headphones you're saving an extra 20%
[679]
off when you apply this coupon this is a
[681]
big deal and this will add up relatively
[684]
quickly for you on another pair of
[685]
headphones just as an example 20% off
[688]
why would you pay $39.99 for this very
[691]
well rated pair of headphones when you
[693]
could save an additional 20% how about
[695]
this pair of earbuds $10 guys when you
[699]
apply the coupon it's all about knowing
[702]
these coupons exist and one of my main
[704]
missions is to make sure you always get
[706]
your coupon so a reminder everything is
[708]
linked for you Matt's daily deals.com
[710]
you can join my email newsletter click
[712]
the coupons but whatever it is just make
[713]
sure you're using a coupon when you shop
[716]
this is information I have bookmarked
[717]
for you insiders saving secret number 7
[721]
know the source of your products to get
[724]
the best deal so I want to give you an
[726]
example not everything you see on Amazon
[728]
is of course at its lowest price and if
[730]
you look very carefully when you are
[731]
shopping for a product it usually comes
[733]
from another brand and these brands
[735]
sometimes have their own websites where
[737]
you can save even more money if you go
[739]
directly to their websites so let's use
[740]
this cooling pillow as an example if you
[742]
look very closely at the listing you're
[744]
getting a 2 pack of well rated cooling
[746]
pillows in the small size I know it's
[749]
very confusing it's a smaller
[750]
extra-large but it's actually small
[752]
you're getting 2 small pillows for 79
[755]
bucks well if you want two extra large
[758]
pillows for 99 98 which is likely the
[763]
better value if you went directly to the
[765]
merchant you would have saved yourself a
[767]
little bit of money or at least got
[768]
something better and if that example is
[770]
not clear enough to you let's use this
[771]
there's a hose right here which is an
[773]
expandable 50 foot hose highly in demand
[775]
right now this same hose which is $39.99
[779]
on Amazon is actually available online
[782]
from the merchants directly for 29 bucks
[784]
if you look at my website Matt's daily
[786]
deals.com and you scroll through all of
[788]
the deals that I have featured recently
[789]
I actually hunted this down
[791]
at a cheaper price $29.99 versus the $10
[797]
more you would spend on Amazon why well
[799]
it's not that Amazon's out to hurt you
[801]
but they do have credit card processing
[803]
fees and different fees that are passed
[805]
along to the merchants and in that case
[807]
many merchants will actually jack up
[808]
their prices on Amazon even if they're
[811]
on sale just to cover their operating
[812]
costs savings secret number eight know
[816]
your rights if you're a Prime member you
[817]
are paying for a promise that you're
[819]
going to get most products within a
[820]
specific window of time and if you're
[824]
not getting your products within two to
[826]
three days or five days or whatever
[827]
break you want to cut to the people in
[829]
your community which is totally fine and
[831]
I support that you still are promised
[833]
some type of shipping time and many of
[835]
the products these days that I've been
[837]
ordering are sometimes getting lost as
[839]
you can see from this and at other times
[841]
I'm waiting three weeks for something
[843]
that was a prime product that was
[844]
supposed to arrive in three to five days
[846]
contact Amazon customer service and ask
[848]
for a credit for that month your Prime
[850]
membership could cost you around 13
[852]
bucks a month you should be paying for
[854]
something you're not getting back as a
[856]
service so ask for a credit those are
[858]
your rights Amazon customer service I
[860]
have found is very receptive to
[862]
providing those breaks to people just
[864]
make sure you advocate for yourself
[866]
saving secret number 9 there are
[869]
discounts available on the Prime
[871]
membership program if you are a student
[873]
or you have a Medicaid card you can save
[876]
a lot on prime 50% off per month with a
[881]
qualifying EBT card and if you're a
[883]
student you get a six month trial for
[886]
free after that prime student resumes at
[888]
6 dollars and 49 cents per month that is
[892]
an amazing deal on the Amazon Prime
[894]
membership and what you might not know
[896]
is there's actually other plans
[897]
available so for example if you are not
[900]
a student and you don't have a Medicaid
[902]
card prime annual is 119 per year at the
[905]
time I'm recording this which gives you
[907]
prime video ad free music streaming
[908]
unlimited photo storage unlimited
[909]
reading and various other things which
[911]
we'll talk about and again if you want
[912]
to use a free 30-day trial there is a
[914]
link mats daily deals.com if you are a
[917]
monthly member you spend actually a
[919]
little bit more than on the annual
[921]
membership commitment and you
[922]
simply just want to use the prime video
[924]
service its $8.99 per month which puts
[927]
it on par or better value compared to
[929]
Netflix but again you have to like the
[932]
catalog of programming and that's
[933]
different per person watching the fact
[936]
if you guys are watching right now do
[937]
you love prime video do you use it are
[939]
you more of a Netflix person let me know
[941]
about that as I make my way through
[942]
saving secret number 10 this is all tied
[946]
to whether or not you actually need
[947]
Prime in the math that I've done if you
[950]
buy more than three items per month from
[953]
Amazon and those are your shopping
[955]
habits you are one hundred percent the
[958]
perfect person to use that Prime
[960]
membership because all of the benefits
[961]
over time especially for larger scale
[963]
deliveries and the discounts passed
[965]
along to you generally at least allow
[968]
your Prime membership to pay for itself
[970]
plus a few other bonuses and the reason
[971]
I'm telling you that is for example if
[973]
you shop for food your grocery savings
[975]
are huge as a prime member if you have a
[977]
growing family the Amazon family
[979]
discounts of 20% on diapers and baby
[982]
food subscriptions make it worth it and
[984]
there are exclusive deals for you in
[986]
addition to deals which become available
[988]
as early access deals to Prime members
[990]
the daily deals and early access to some
[993]
of the most popular products especially
[995]
around occasions like Black Friday and
[997]
Cyber Monday and prime day are all tied
[1001]
to your prime membership and crazy
[1003]
things like if you're a Prime member and
[1004]
you place an order through your echo
[1006]
there's sometimes additional savings
[1007]
that you can unlock and these are all
[1009]
topics upon which I focus throughout the
[1011]
year but insider savings for Prime
[1013]
members might make it worth your while
[1014]
and if you do have a growing family or
[1016]
in my case I'm a proud father of a two
[1018]
year old before my two year old got to
[1021]
being a toddler rather than a baby the
[1024]
baby registry on Amazon gives tons of
[1026]
discounts to family members the free
[1028]
welcome box is up to $35 worth of
[1030]
products and then just for completing a
[1032]
registry you get a discount on items
[1034]
that are left in your registry if people
[1035]
don't buy it Plus Prime members receive
[1037]
15% off on that and these startup costs
[1041]
for a growing family are a lot of money
[1043]
there are similar incentives in place at
[1045]
Walmart and of course I've covered all
[1047]
of the shopping secrets for Walmart
[1048]
including how to read their price tags
[1050]
and what you need to know and what not
[1051]
to buy from them
