Amazon gives you free shipping if you buy over $25 of qualifying goods so people will sometimes search for “filler” items, little cheap doohickiesand to toss in to bring the total up. Here’s three quick ways to find them, courtesy of WiseBread:

1. Add the secret code
After you search on Amazon for what you want, add &emi=ATVPDKIKX0DER to the end to find an item that gets you Super Saver Shipping.
2. FillerItem
Put the amount you need to spend to reach SSS in the box and select the categories to search within.
3. FreebieVille
A list of fillers from $1-$5.
