• Once you start buying and evaluating products, Amazon will make personalized recommendations for you. Click “Recommended For You” on your home page to view these recommendations.
• Remember to check the Today's Deals tab. It offers goods with discounts and, if you're lucky, you can buy a good thing for ridiculous money.
