WITH Christmas less than two weeks away, many of us will be turning to Amazon to get those important last minute purchases.

However, you might be spending far more then you need to at the checkout – especially if you don't use this hack while shopping on the site.

Having been around for nearly 30 years, it's easy to think you know everything about Amazon – especially if you've used more than one of it's products.

While you might know what TV shows to queue up on Prime Video and what book you will read next on your Kindle, it's hard to know if you are getting a great deal on the main website.

With sites like Temu or Shein also offering huge discounts on similar items, it can be tempting to forgo branded products – even if you sacrifice on quality.

However, there is a chance you can have both thanks to Amazon's Second Chance store.

This hidden part of the site contains thousands of refurbished and repackaged items, all for dramatically reduced price – up to 50 per cent off.

Each product is also professionally inspected meaning you don't have to worry about getting imperfect items in your shopping.

Just like the physical store in London, you can find some incredible deals – including Silent Night heated blankets reduce to just £31.

Other offers we have our eye on include an Oral B toothbrush for only £32 and a Revlon hair dress – now £12 online.

For those who still aren't sold, the objects listed on the marketplace have the same 30 day return policy and some are even eligible for Prime delivery.

You also don't have to spend hours trying to find the low-cost site, with most people able to log on in just a few clicks.

To get started, you simply need to open your browser and search the Amazon second hand store.

This will redirect you to the discount site in seconds, and then just click on 'shop pre-owned items' to get started.

On this page, you can also arrange repairs for products or even trade them in for money off your next purchase.

If you are still struggling to find the discounts, you still find great deals from retailers by search for your product and then clicking 'new and used'.

This will give you access to a list of prices for your item, with different vendors offering different options.

This particularly great if you have a tight budget but need a particular item.

If you are still looking for a great deal, content creator Maya has revealed how much she saved when buying her Autumn essentials on Amazon.
