37 Things That Are Cheaper On Amazon Than In Stores
Why buy it in stores when you can get it literally shipped to your house AND it's cheaper?
We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share with us what things they buy on Amazon because it's cheaper than in stores. Here's what they said.
1. iPhone cases

"A Lifeproof case on Amazon is roughly $50-$60 (depends on the model), but in my Best Buy they are $80-$90. I got a Speck case on Amazon for $20, and saw the exact same case for $50 in store!"
2. Sushi wraps

"You can get 50 sheets for about $10. In the store you get 10 sheets between $4 and $7."
3. Cat food

"I order my cat food via Prime which is sooo convenient. Plus, I have it scheduled for delivery once a month which gives me an extra 5% off the price (already cheaper than a pet store)."
5. Luggage

"I purchased a new Travelpro bag on Amazon for $118 with free Prime shipping. The same bag at Kohl's department store was $250 plus tax. NOPE!"
6. Diapers

"When I compare prices of diapers on Amazon vs. retail stores, I often find Amazon has a better deal (I buy the huge packs) and there are occasional digital coupons that apply! Plus, Amazon Prime subscribers can use “Subscribe & Save” automatic deliveries that can save you even more! You can’t go wrong!"
7. Under Armor anything

"Under Armor anything! I got a great pair of compression running leggings for $30 (cheaper than the outlet or TJ Maxx!!!)"
9. Earplugs

"I sleep with them every night so I buy giant boxes with 200 pairs. Infinitely cheaper than buying them 7 pairs at a time from the drugstore."
10. Batteries

"Buy them with subscribe and save and save even more. AAA, AA, C, D and 9V. Also available in rechargeable versions. No one told me when I had kids that I would need to have a million batteries of all sizes on hand!"

11. Books

"Books! Not just textbooks, actual regular books. Finding cheap used books (for like $0.50 - $3.00) that ship free with Prime is the bessssst. Changed my life!!!"
12. Protein powders

"Health food products like protein powders, wheatgrass powder, peanut flour, etc."
13. Polaroid film

"Save anywhere from 15 to 20 bucks!"
14. Turkey jerky

"My mom’s obsessed with that stuff and apparently Amazon has the best price."
15. Memory foam mattresses

"I just bought a king for a great price. They’re usually online only mattress companies, but they’re legit. You can Google it. I was actually shocked to see that these unknown mattress companies had much better reviews than Serta and Simmons."
16. Face masks

"TONYMOLY face masks are 11 for 10 thus making it more than a half price reduction."
17. Cell phone charging chords

"Just paid 9 bucks for a 6 pack that had 1ft., 3ft., and 6ft. options in it."
18. Pens

"As a server, I go through so many, and Amazon has amazing deals on the good ones for me."
19. Dog poop bags

"They’re usually $10-15 in the store for 120-300 bags."
20. Flower seeds

"I’ve ordered a ton of seeds to make a flower garden for my mother. The seeds cost €1-2 for a pack of usually around 50-100, which is amazing compared to the €5-10 you’d pay in a store for around 20 seeds."
21. K-cups

"So much cheaper!"
22. Printer ink

"It’s a generic brand but up to $20 cheaper and each color works just as good!"
23. Underwear/lingerie

"This is a pack of 30 underwear for 23 bucks on Amazon prime. Some of the pairs in there I could see people paying $25 for at Victoria’s Secret, no joke. One of the best finds I’ve ever came across on Amazon."
24. Socks

"My 20-year-old is a landscaper and his socks are ruined after a few days (mulch, stains, yuck). Amazon has been great for large bundles of socks for great prices. (10 pair/ $10)."
25. Bobby pins

"Just bought a POUND of salon-quality ones for $6!!"
26. Pregnancy tests

"Pregnancy test for sure! I look for “HCG tests” and I got 50 of them for like $10….. So many sticks to pee on…. Lol"
27. Smoked sea salt, truffle oil, and orange blossom water, etc. Basically any specialty food product.

"Whenever I have a recipe calling for something unusual, I don’t even check my grocery store anymore. If they have it at all, there is NO WAY they’ll beat Amazon’s prices."
28. Crest whitening strips

"Around 30 dollars on Amazon compared to 50 in stores!"
29. Pads/tampons

"You can get a year’s worth for like $18-30."

"I always get the two pack and its sooo much cheaper than buying it in drug stores."
33. Toms shoes

35. Textbooks, of course

"Oh my goodness: textbooks! There is NO better place to find inexpensive used ones."
36. Condoms

"Condoms can also be found in bulk cheap."
37. Prismacolor colored pencils

Lastly, here are three TRULY great tips from BF user pror.
1. Amazon basics make some great electronic accessories at great prices. Highly rated at affordable prices.
2. You can get some amazing deals using subscribe and save, especially when you can align it with a coupon. You can cancel your subscription after it ships if you only want it one time. Diapers, baby wipes, deodorant, feminine products, vitamins, paper products, cleaning products etc. The list is endless for subscribe and save. Try to get at least 5 things in a monthly order; the discount goes from 5% off to 15% off when you hit five.
3. When I’m at a store I use the Amazon app to scan barcodes to check prices. If it’s cheaper at Amazon, in my cart it goes!!
