Amazon.com has a number of outlet stores and other places where you’ll find overstocked items, markdowns, and other merchandise available at a deep discount. If you are not too particular about the specific item you are looking for, these outlet and markdown centers are a good way to browser shop (my online term for window shopping) and see if anything catches your eye. As always at Amazon, you can get free standard shipping on qualifying products $25 or more. Here is a quick rundown of some of the outlet centers you can find on Amazon. For a complete list, check out Amazon.com coupons and clearance.

For home & garden merchandise, you can shop the home & garden clearance center at Amazon to save up to 70%.

For books, check out the Book Blowout Store at Amazon to save up to 80%, on all genres of books, which include popular bestsellers and overstocked titles. Many of these are in limited supply so the selection changes frequently.
