Black Friday is here and if you're like most people, you'll be shopping on Amazon.
It's easy to see why: Amazon has millions of products worth buying, including plenty of brilliant tech deals.
However, even if you keep up to date with Tech Advisor's deals center, you may not see all the deals you're interested in, especially if they're not tech related.
Luckily, if you own an Amazon Echo device, things get a lot easier. Here's how to use it to your advantage.
How to use Alexa to find Black Friday deals
Provided you use the same Amazon account to shop as you do on your smart speaker, you can ask it to find deals on items you're interested in.
How? Because you have already saved them on the site, either in one of the lists you created, in your basket or in the “Saved for later” section.
You may have already done this, in which case you can simply say “Alexa, what are my offers?” and a list of your top 10 offers will appear. From there, you can ask Alexa (or tap the screen of a touchscreen device) to find out more or add it to your cart.

You can even order the item directly from your smart speaker, but we don't recommend it. It will just use the default address, payment method, and shipping preferences, which might not be accurate.
Have you never added an item to your wish list? Here's how to do it on the web.
- Find an item you want to add on Amazon
- Under the pricing information box on the right, click “Add to List.”

- It will automatically be added to your default list. Click “Show List” in the window that appears to see all your items.

- To move an item between listings, click “Move” under the “Add to Cart” button.

You probably already know how to add an item to your cart. To make it appear in the “Save for later” section, open your cart and click on the small text “Save for later”.
