For the bargain shoppers among you, here’s a quick tip on some great toy deals on Amazon.com you can buy while sitting at your computer in your pajamas.

I did this last year right before Christmas and got a ton of $30 to $60 toys for $5 to $20. I think my average priced toy was around $10. And not only did I get Christmas toys, but the deals were so good, I bought enough to stock my ‘gift closet’ so we had a ready supply of gifts for birthdays all year long.

How I do it:

Check Amazon’s Best Seller Toy List to see the top 100 items selling. They are usually of two types – the most popular toys, and the best bargains (what you’re looking for).
Check Amazon’s Movers and Shakers list. This is a great list I just found this year and all the best deals hit this list first. It includes any product that has suddenly started selling much faster than usual and is moving up the sales ranking. The most common reason for this is that the price has dropped a TON – like this Panasonic camera that has just droped $90 in price from $239 to $149.
For great toy deals, check the Movers and Shakers Toy List. Here are some current deals (remember they change FAST!)
- This Remote Control Attack Vehicle that has dropped from $60 to $15.
- The game of Clue for $4.99
- A $30 Magic Beads Playset (like PixOs) for $8.99
- For girls, the Polly Pocket Pop ‘N Swap Fashion Frenzy that dropped from $22 to $6.99
- And tons more – Check it out!.
One last great page is the December Deals page with all the discounted toy categories.

And some shopping tips:

Prices change daily and even hourly. Make sure to check back regularly. Once you’re sure, buy quickly, because the price in your shopping cart is NOT guaranteed until you actually purchase it.
Set yourself a sale price that you buy a product at and stick to it. It’s easy to get sucked into buying too many ‘good deals’.
Always buy $25 worth and make sure to check “Free Super Saver Shipping” so you don’t pay shipping.
