You have been hearing about Amazon for some time now and you are wondering if everything you have heard is actually true.

Does Amazon really offer excellent savings? Are all their items truly discounted? Is this a site you can trust to do your online shopping?

The good news is YES! Amazon does in fact offer great deals on everything and anything.

Amazon is a multinational company, covering hundreds of thousands sellers and merchants. It is the largest online retailer in the world! There are a plethora (what can I say...I love the sound of that word...) of items to choose from, all in one place. How convenient is that?!

Approximately 65 million customers go to their U.S. website each month. That should tell you something right here. Obviously there must be something to Amazon to attract that many people per month. Personally I believe it is the incredible deals they offer. I've done my fair share of research surfing on the net, and rarely do I find a better deal anywhere else.

Amazon can offer incredible discounts for several reasons:

• they are an online shopping site with no physical storefront, therefore no store overhead costs
• because there are no physical stores, they require much less staff
• they buy in bulk to receive the best manufacturer discounts
• depending where you live, they may even offer you free shipping

A great advantage to Amazon is that you can add a variety of purchases to your cart, then pay for them all in one easy transaction. Amazon takes care of dividing the payments to each individual merchant or seller. Another quality I love about Amazon is being able to pay for my purchases using PayPal. I have used this method for years and have never had a problem. They are safe and secure and guarantee your purchases.

Shopping online with Amazon is safe, secure, and best of all, offers excellent savings and great deals on everything from "soup to nuts"....haha. Here is a very broad list of the variety of merchandise Amazon has to offer:

• appliances
• arts and crafts and sewing
• automotive
• beauty and health
• outdoor and sports
• babies and children
• home and garden
• grocery
• computers and electronics
• entertainment such as music, games, and movies
• books, both paper and digital
• clothing, jewelery and shoes
• Kindle

Everyone is looking for ways to stretch their dollar, yet still wanting quality. And what better way to do this than shopping online in the comfort of your own home. No driving; no crowds; no crazy parking lots. Just ease and discounts!
