Frequently Asked Questions
How does Scan And Save It make money?
Through Amazon affiliate links, and nothing else. When you click one of our links and buy something on Amazon, we earn a small commission from Amazon — the price you pay stays exactly the same. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We don't run paywalls, sell your data or charge for anything on the site. That commission is what keeps the lights on and the deal-checking going every week.
Are the deals actually checked by a person?
Yes. Every product on this site was picked and price-checked by a real member of our small UK team — not scraped automatically from a bestseller feed. We look at the listing, the seller, the review history and the typical price before anything gets published. We also revisit our pages weekly, so if a price has jumped or a product has gone downhill, we update or remove it.
Why does the price sometimes differ when I get to Amazon?
Amazon prices change constantly — sometimes several times a day — and different sellers, colours or sizes of the same product can carry different prices. We list a "typical price" as an honest guide to what the item usually costs, but the live price on Amazon is always the one that counts. If you spot a big jump, it's worth checking back in a day or two, as prices often settle again.
Do you accept paid placements or sponsored products?
No. Brands cannot pay to appear on any of our deal pages, comparison lists or blog posts, and we don't accept free samples in exchange for coverage. Every pick earns its place on merit: strong reviews, a sensible typical price and a track record of being genuinely useful. If that ever changed, we'd label it clearly — but our plan is simple: no paid placements, full stop.
How often are the pages updated?
We hand-check prices and availability weekly, and our category pages get a fuller refresh whenever Amazon runs major sale events. Blog guides are reviewed regularly and updated whenever Amazon changes how something works — voucher stacking, Subscribe & Save discounts and Warehouse policies do shift over time. If a product becomes unavailable or its typical price rises sharply, we replace it rather than leave a dead recommendation sitting on the page.
How can I suggest a deal?
We'd love to hear about it. The easiest way is to message or tag us on our social channels — we check those regularly and genuinely do look into reader suggestions. Tell us the product and roughly what it costs, and if it passes our usual checks (real reviews, sensible price history, widely available), there's a good chance it'll appear in a future update or blog post.
