11 Useful Items You Can Get for Dirt Cheap on Amazon
You already know that Amazon is one of the most convenient and efficient ways to shop. The mega online retailer offers most of the same products as brick-and-mortar retailers in one place, so when you're pressed for time or searching for an obscure item, the site can save the day.
What you might not know, however, is that Amazon offers many products much cheaper than other retailers. Here are just a few everyday items you can buy for less on Amazon.
Gillette Fusion Disposable Razors
If you're trying to determine what to buy on Amazon to save money, add a package of two Gillette Fusion Men's Razors with Fusion Razor Blades to your cart. Target charges nearly $3 more for the exact same product. There's no need to pay more than necessary for a shave, so shop for your razors on Amazon.
Price on Amazon: $8.19
Price at Target: $10.99
Remington Hair Straightener
Look your best without paying top dollar. The Remington T|Studio Silk Slim Straightener is over $5 more at Target than on Amazon. When you can get the exact same product for a lower price, it only makes sense to choose the lower price tag.
Price on Amazon: $29.86
Price at Target: $34.99
Lysol Disinfecting Wipes
Germ removal is always important, but so is the price of your Lysol Disinfecting Wipes. Save nearly $1.50 on your purchase of a 110-count container of the lemon and lime blossom scent just by shopping at Amazon instead of Walmart. The savings can add up fast — especially if you go through wipes quickly.
Price on Amazon: $7.79
Price at Walmart: $9.26

Neutrogena Sunscreen
A three-ounce bottle of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen with SPF 100 costs nearly $5.50 less on Amazon than at Walgreens, making it one of the best things to buy on Amazon.

Crest Toothpaste
Savvy shoppers know to never buy toothpaste without a coupon. They also know the best place to buy their toothpaste is Amazon.

Lower your shopping bill by scoring two tubes on Amazon for the price of one at Walmart.
Price on Amazon: $2.99
Price at Walmart: $7.34
Weight Watchers Bath Scale
Investing in a bathroom scale is a great way to monitor your weight, but there's no need to pay top dollar. Knowing what to buy on Amazon can really help you save, as the Weight Watchers Chrome and Glass Digital Bath Scale costs nearly $12 less on the site than it does at Walmart.
Price on Amazon: $22.97
Price at Walmart: $34.57
Nalgene Water Bottle
If you're in the market for an eco-friendly Nalgene Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle, head to Amazon. Unless you're set on a specific color, this is one of the smartest things to buy on Amazon. Walmart offers the same product at a higher price, so don't pay more than necessary.
