to bring my spend up to the £5 free delivery option, but everything I can find is from private sellers not Amazon themselves. I remember seeing a post ages ago about how to search but I can't find it.
Alternatively does anyone know what the closest small spend above 50p that Amazon does? Paper, pens, anything?
Thanks

Don't they nearly always have children's books on clearance for 50p or, at most, £1? You could grab one of those and give it away to a charity shop.

Thanks all, you're clearly better at searching than I am!
