Free and Discount Amazon Products!

I absolutely love to shop! Unfortunately my budget can't always handle it. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled on a site that would send me coupon codes to use on Amazon to my email inbox. I decided to give it a shot and filled out their form and before I knew it I was receiving seriously awesome coupons to my inbox!

My first coupon was for Jojoba Oil. I use Jojoba Oil as a carrier oil with my Young Living Essential Oils, and really love the way it makes my skin feel and look. Normally Jojoba Oil is pretty expensive (about $15 for 4 ounces), but with my coupon I got a 4 oz bottle for only $1! That is not a typo--I only paid one dollar! And because I am a Prime member it was shipped free! Soon I had my Jojoba Oil and was mixing it up with some Geranium and Lavender for an awesome moisturizer! Since then I've found even more places to receive discount--and even free--products and all I do in exchange for the awesome deals is leave honest and unbiased reviews on Amazon.

Amazon reviews are pretty easy to do in exchange for the great products that these sellers let you try (and keep!). All I do is write a couple of sentences about why I like the product, what could be improved or changed, and if I will order it again. Often the sellers prefer that you contact them with any concerns before posting a negative review, but I haven't had to do that yet because I've only received amazing quality products.

So, how do you get free and discount products on Amazon too? There are quite a few places that offer these amazing deals. Here are my favorites:

1. UberZon Club: This is the one that started it all. When you go to their website you join by giving them some information and your email address. Almost immediately you will begin to get deals sent to your email inbox. If you don't want to take advantage of the deal simply delete the email and move on. But if you do want to use it follow the directions in the email and enjoy your heavily discounted stuff! The only downside I've found so far about UberZon Club is that if you aren't fast enough sometimes you will miss the deals. So, check your email often and act fast!

2. Shop With Reviews: I really love this one! After signing up there are pages and pages of deals that you can take advantage of. Most of the deals that are simply discounted you can get the coupon code simply by clicking on the product. For me, though, the best part about Shop with Reviews is the opportunity to try products for free! When you see a product that is "Free for Review" you click on it and then click the red button that says, "Request Free Coupon Code" and an email will be sent to the seller. It is then up to the seller whether or not they want to send you a coupon code to try their product for free. So far I've requested dozens of free coupons, and I've actually gotten a lot of free--amazing--products! The sellers I've worked with from Shop with Reviews are extremely helpful and professional. Try this one!

3. Elite Deal Club: Elite Deal Club offers both free and discounted items. Most of their items are heavily discounted with a select few free products. Elite Deal Club also offers two kinds of deals--Elite Deals and Free Deals. For Elite Deals you have to pay a "small fee" but I can't tell for sure what that fee is. So far I have only taken advantage of the Free Deals. Each morning I receive an email that tells me some of the deals that will be "going live" at three times during the day--10 am, 2 pm and 8 pm EST (7 am, 11 am, and 5 pm for us West-Coasters). While there are deals available all day long, the more desirable (and almost always the free) products are "sold out" if you don't get to them in time. They do, however, have some really awesome deals and you don't have to wait for a seller to decide if you get a coupon or not. Elite Deal Club also offers ways for you to earn Amazon gift cards which is really awesome!

4. Product Elf: Unfortunately I haven't had a whole lot of luck with this one. While they do have some deals that are worth it I've mostly experienced a very slow server and technical issues. In order to receive a coupon code you have to enter a code that consists of a combination of 4 letters and numbers. Occasionally this will automatically bring up the coupon code, but often you will have to wait for a seller email with the code. Unfortunately I haven't gotten many responses to my requests for codes. I have, though, received some really nice products from this site; the selection here is pretty eclectic. 


So, the best part of all of these is that to join it is totally FREE! You can also rest assured that you will not receive a ton of junk e-mail. I've had a lot of fun with these clubs, and have really enjoyed trying new products. Have fun shopping and reviewing!
