Buying groceries from Amazon.

Can be worth searching for the item as well

One item in the best sellers is this at £14:71 plus £3:99 shipping for 20 by 50g bars or 1000g

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belvita-Breakfast-Milk-Cereal-Biscuit/dp/B003WVLOYK/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1328700924&sr=1-1

Searching for the same items has this at £11:40 for 10 boxes of 300g or 3000g

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belvita-Breakfast-Fruit-Fibre-Biscuit/dp/B003WVP1W6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1328700924&sr=1-1-fkmr0

From the best sellers, it would cost £48:12 to buy what the search returns for £11:40

Currently number 10 in the best sellers

As someone without a car and only one good arm, I love buying bulky items in bulk with free delivery from Amazon!

Last 3 buys were 12xGlade litter fresh 500g (that and cheaper version disapeared from shops), a 44 pouch pack of cat food and 7x boxes of 8 toilet tablets (the cleaning tabs you pop into toilet bowl, virtually impossible to find in shops now).

Luckily we have a cupboard which used to contain the boiler to store things.

I get the impression from scanning these posts that Amazon is using Tesco's Variable Pricing Model. Bad! Amazon seems to be increasingly exploitative of it's customers..must do something like open accounts with their Competitors to put the wind up them.

Thanks for this thread have been lurking for a couple of weeks but wanted to report how handy Amazon is. Basmati Rice and Branston Beans delivered this morning, rice bag was damaged but fair play to Amazon they are refunding me as now out of stock can anybody recomend some good deals on Cereals (except for cheerios) oats, coffee and pasta as we seem to go through loads and would be very handy to stock up with my Lovefilm voucher xxxxx

I can see how it works for amazon, but how does this model work for Tesco? Is that why the change prices for their value items, people have reported they go up and down all the time...?
I looked for info but could not find anything useful

Hi All,

Interesting thread and there are some very good bargains to be had on Amazon.

I just wanted to remind those of you with a nectar card that if you register at the nectar.com site and link to amazon through that site you should be able to get points on your purchases. There is nowhere on amazon to register your card and so I only ever go to them now through the nectar site. Hope that helps someone.

All the best,
Spigs

Thanks Spiggle - I always forget about the nectar points for Amazon.

Are the foody items in a separate section? Where do you find them? Sorry if that's a stupid question!
