Shop only with Amazon, rather than merchants. You may be tempted to purchase an item from one of the merchant's in Amazon's Marketplace. Don't let their cheap prices fool you though. Merchants usually add on steep shipping prices. Not only that, but if your item arrives damaged or is out of date, you may have a problem getting your money back.

Check the sale's page. To view the sale's page, you will need to choose the grocery department and then click "All Sales & Special Offers." This will take you to a page that is conveniently laid out by department. For example, there are departments called "Breakfast Foods" and "Natural & Organic." This makes it easier to find the sales that best suit your shopping needs. There are also brief descriptions of each sale. You may see a sale for oatmeal that reads, "Buy $29 worth of Brand A oatmeal and save $10."
