how to search Amazon for cheap items?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I need to buy something (anything) off amazon (not marketplace) for £1.50.

I want to order something that is £8.50, this comes under the minimum of £10 for free delivery, I went to pay postage but they wanted to charge £8 making the total £16!!! I might as well just find something for £1.50 and bin it, any suggestions of what I can purchase.

Thanks

  • Buy a book? Preferably something you won't 'just bin' (please think of the environment).

    I did this with an £8 item. I bought a very cheap 'Where's Wally book which immediately entitled me to free delivery. The book kept the little one occupied for hours.

    You are right, I do understand what you are saying but I don't want/need anything else. I would have been more than happy to pay the extra 1.50 without receiving anything for it.

    EDIT: thanks have now ordered a book for ds I can put away for christmas, it was more than the £1.50 but at least it will get used :)
