Amazon has announced another sale, to coincide with it celebrating 25 years in the UK. It’s good news for savvy shoppers who, once again, have the opportunity to scoop up a saving.
In line with this news, the retail giant has revealed the nation’s most popular products, with most customers flocking to the website to purchase the likes of Crocs, the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy and toilet roll (we’re guessing this one is partly down to the pandemic).
To comemorate the quarter of a century anniversary, Amazon is also giving customers £5 off when they spend £25. Shoppers need only add eligible items to their basket and enter the code “AMAZONUK25” at the checkout to take advantage of the special offer. However, the extra discount is only valid today and the code will expire at 11:59pm tonight.
John Boumphrey, the brand’s UK Country Manager said: “Amazon arrived in the UK 25 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. We have evolved from being an online bookseller in 1998, to offering customers millions of items including tech, toys, food, fashion, films, music and lots more.”
If you’re looking to bag yourself a bargain, we’ve narrowed down some of our favourite Amazon anniversary deals to scoop up now.
