Find cheaper prices on Amazon

Amazon has lots of search filters for finding the best deals, but one option it lacks is to list results by percentage of discount. To do that, you’ll need to type a piece of code at the end of the URL that shows your search results.

Make sure you search from Amazon’s home page (www.amazon.co.uk), not a product or category page. In our example, we’ve searched for laptops. We could sort them by low to high using the top-right filter, but the results won’t indicate the size of any discount applied to the price.

Instead, by typing &pct-off=25- in our screenshot below) and pressing Enter, we can see all laptops that are priced at least 25-percent cheaper than the recommended retail price (RRP).
