If you aren’t hunting for Amazon Haul penny deals right now, you’re missing one of the biggest deals of the season. There are many high-quality items currently listed for exactly one cent, and they are moving fast. Here is the breakdown on how to find them and how to get free shipping.

How to Find Amazon Haul Penny Deals: Sort by Low to High

The best deals aren’t always on the front page. To find the $0.01 items across any specific category or term, follow these steps:

Go to the Amazon Haul storefront.
Choose any category (Home, Electronics, Beauty, etc.) or use the search bar for a specific term in the Amazon Haul Category.
The Key: Change the “Sort by” filter to Price: Low to High.
You will see pages of items listed for $0.01.

When MSRP Free Shipping Threshold Applies

Standard shipping is $3.99 for anything under $25, which is great!

But here is the strategy: Some types of discounts, like the up to 70% Mom’s Deal on Amazon Haul, will calculate free shipping and the 5/10% discount threshold based on the MSRP (original price: Look for “Includes $**** Amazon discount” to calculate), not the final total. As long as the item’s original value (MSRP) is over $25, you will get free shipping.

This MSRP trick doesn’t apply to the $0.01 items. It works on set percentage-off campaigns (like 25%, 50%, or 70% off deals). Because Amazon applies those percentage discounts at the very end of checkout, the system still reads the item’s original price toward your $25 free shipping minimum. Toss a heavily discounted, high-MSRP item into your cart alongside your penny deals, and your whole order ships free!

Note: Earlier in the day, a 70% Mom’s deal + 25% Live deal were stacking at checkout, so you could order multiple (unlike cent items – see below) + the MSRP threshold strategy worked. Like a previous deal, when there was a 50% discount

Limits and Speed

Penny items are limited to one, $2 deals are limited to two, and no strict limits on others, like Crazy low deals, so you can grab what you need and fill it to $25 for free shipping (or pay it – $4), but you have to be fast. These items are disappearing from search results in real-time. If you see it, add it and check it out immediately.
