Before clicking “Add to Cart” on the tent you’ve been researching, check to see if there are any used or open-box/damaged box deals available from Amazon Warehouse. Typically, you will be able to see discounted offerings on the same listing page. Items that come from Amazon Warehouse rather than a third-party seller come with free Prime shipping and returns.

I am a lifestyle and personal finance writer based in SoCal and have been a freelance writer since way before working remotely was the new norm. Being a wife and a mom to three young awesome kids, I have made it a regular habit to check out Slickdeals (even before joining the SD content team) to help fill up my pantry and gift closet for 50-70% off retail prices. As a family of five, we go through snacks, gifts, and toilet paper at an alarming rate, so I love a good deal and am also not afraid to dig through a thrift store to score incredible finds. When not writing about amazing deals to help people save and cool things on sale, I am taking care of my three girls, homeschooling, or stuck with my nose in a book. Sometimes, at the same time.
