1. Hack #1: Shop Open-Box (Amazon Resale)

This is my #1 secret weapon for tech. "Amazon Resale" (formerly Warehouse) is where Amazon sells all its open-box and customer-returned items for a massive discount. It's safe, backed by Amazon, and the best way to get a $1000 laptop for $600.

2. Hack #2: Buy "Like-New" (Amazon Renewed)

Want a refurbished iPhone or MacBook but you're nervous? "Amazon Renewed" is your answer. These are professionally refurbished products that are guaranteed by Amazon for 90 days (or more) to work and look like new.

3. Hack #3: Hunt Overstock (Amazon Outlet)

"Amazon Outlet" is where brand-new, unopened items go when Amazon simply has too many of them. It's a treasure hunt for clearance deals on tech, gaming gear, and more.

4. Hack #4: Master Lightning Deals (Today's Deals)

The "Today's Deals" page is chaos, but there's a method to it. You need to know how to use the "Waitlist" feature to get items that are already 100% claimed.

5. Hack #5: Clip Digital Coupons (The "Free Money" Page)

Did you know Amazon has a central page for all its "clip-on" coupons? I show you how to find it and how to stack these coupons on top of other sales.
