Plug in your shopping cart holes with Amazon Filler Item Finder
Do you do a lot of shopping online? I bet you’ve been in a situation where free shipping is just $2 away, but you can find any item you like for that amount. In my case this inevitably results in higher spending because I just put in something else I like, which is generally in the $20 range. This is not the best practice, especially if you’re tight on money, or a spending machine like me.
A really cool tool (and idea) to help you plug in your shopping cart holes on Amazon is the Amazon Filler Item Finder. If you’re just a bit short on the $25 minimum, just visit this site, enter how much you need, and you will see a list of products which cost around that amount. You can enter any value, it works with decimal places as well, and you can also check and un-check categories if you know what type of product you’d like.
What I really liked about the site is the idea, the simplicity, and the speed. Just enter a number, click go, and you’re done. Pick something from the list, add it to your cart, and that’s it. The other great thing is speed. You can filter by price in Amazon, so you could really do this there, but Amazon Filler Finder is extremely fast, and I mean extremely. Click go, and out pops the list in the blink of an eye. I just moved, and I’m stuck with a really bad connection for a week or so more, but this still works in a flash.
What might be cool to add is a social feature to the site, where you could see what other people bought for $1 – $3. There might be some great novelty items, things you really want, but just didn’t come to mind, or you might just get some inspiration from what others are buying.
If you’re the supportive kind of person, I urge you to use Amazon Filler Finder because they are helping to support Haiti, The American Red Cross, and other organizations. For you it doesn’t really make a difference if you shop on Amazon or through Amazon Filler Finder, but it does help them if you do go through them, so why not?
