We love a discounted outlet store. Some of our favorite places to shop include Coach Outlet, Nordstrom Rack, and Kate Spade Outlet, but there's one large retailer whose discounted storefront may surprise you: Amazon. The mega-merchant may seem like it already has mind-blowingly low prices, but you can find even steeper discounts at the Amazon Outlet, which sells overstocked and out-of-season products for as high as 82% off.

I spend my days combing through the Internet's best deals, from dresses under $40 at Nordstrom to which bestselling shoes are only $35 at Zappos. As we inch closer to Amazon Prime Day, deals at the mega-merchant are starting to heat up. Today, we've spotted a rare $50 discount on the PS5, a shower scrubber with three discounts, and a $20 pair of slippers beloved by nearly 55,000 shoppers. If you're looking for products that'll make your life just a bit easier, it's a great week to shop on Amazon.
