Do you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon and sometimes you just wish to save some money, You can search for Amazon discount coupons, you can always Google for Amazon discount coupons but there are another two ways to get discount on Amazon.
1-Using Amazon Discount Finder Tools
Here is two tools you can use to find best discounts on Amazon. As some of you probably know while Amazon keeps track of product price drops it doesn’t offer any search functionality targeting such items.
Enter Amazon Discount Finder, a search tool to find Amazon discounts. It lets you search for discounted items by category and discount range (ex. 50% and more).
1. Pick a category, say Computers
2. Pick a discount, maybe 60% (and above) off!
3. Click “Find Amazon discounts”.

Amazon Discount Finder deallocker.com/tool/secret-amazon-discount/
2-Searching For Discount On Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/?node=1065836&pct-off=90-99
How Does this work:
You need to change 3 parts in that url
1. amazon.com: change Amazon.com to another url dependent on what country Amazon you want to search , e.g. amazon.co.uk.
2. node=1065836 : the node specifies the category that the search is conducted in(Look below).
3. off=90-99: This specifies the discount you searching for, You can enter any figure between 00 and 99. This example would search for discounts between 90% and 99% of the original price.
Note: there are not always discounts of between 90% and 99%, on all categories. With some products it might be less. Discounts are continually altering, dependent on lots of factors, so several searches may be needed. If there is nothing in the 90-99 range try altering the discount to, say 75-99, or whatever you think might be acceptable. Some products are more likely to have bigger discounts than others.
