SHOPPING from the comfort of your own home with Amazon can make life a bit easier.
And many of us rely on the retail giant to deliver everything, from essentials to little luxuries, straight to our door.
But you can make the money you spend with the firm go even further with these little tricks . . .
WAREHOUSE: Returned items are often relisted with big discounts in the Amazon Warehouse section of the site.
These include computers, home and kitchen gadgets and home improvement goods.

Amazon says all items are checked for quality and tested and repaired if necessary.
They are then listed, depending on their condition, from “like new” down to “acceptable”.
RENEWED: The Amazon Renewed section also features discounts on previously owned products, such as phones and games consoles.
These tend to be past models, but items are professionally inspected, tested and refurbished to meet quality standards.
OUTLET: It is worth looking through the Amazon Outlet, which is essentially items that are on sale.
You can search by price and category.
Unlike with Warehouse and Renewed, all items are new — but have had prices slashed to help shift stock.
PRICE CHANGE: Amazon prices are prone to shifting.
This can be frustrating if you go back to buy something and the price is suddenly higher.
Use uk.camelcamelcamel.com to set up Amazon price drop alerts, which will notify you by email when the cost of an item you want falls.

The same website also features a price history of millions of items so you can check if you are getting a good deal.
COMPARE: Do not assume that Amazon offers the best price.
Shopping comparison sites such as pricerunner.com and kelkoo.co.uk will help show the cheapest items all over the internet.
