Bit of a shopaholic? Amazon's launched a new way to shop that won't make you feel all that guilty about your shopping sprees.
Called Amazon Bazaar, it's a fresh and wallet-friendly shopping experience on the Amazon.ae mobile app.
A majority of the items are priced at Dhs25 or less – including many as low as Dhs4. The best part? The more you buy, the more you save. Think 5 percent off orders over Dhs150, and 10 percent off when you hit Dhs300.
Whether you're hunting for absolutely necessary home organising knickknacks (hello, label makers), clothing or lifestyle treats, the new section on the Amazon app makes it easy to find the stuff you actually want, thanks to the user-friendly interface.
On the new experience, Stefano Martinelli, Vice President, Amazon Middle East and North Africa, said: 'Customers will find incredible value across a wide range of products priced as low as Dhs4, with additional savings to be had throughout July, all while enjoying Amazon's trusted reliability and convenience promises that customers have come to know and love.
'We look forward to customer feedback as we continue to enhance and expand the selection, helping them save more while they shop.'
Amazon Bazaar is now live in beta version for select UAE customers, so you'll need to update your Amazon app to access the feature.
There's even more reason to get on the app now as Amazon is offering a special first-month treat: 25 percent off all Amazon Bazaar orders throughout July.
Delivery is as fuss-free as you'd expect, with most items arriving in 6 to 12 days and free delivery kicking in on orders above Dhs90. If a product doesn't work out, free 15-day returns are available on most Amazon Bazaar purchases.
How to access Amazon Bazaar?
Tap on the Bazaar icon in your Amazon app menu or by searching 'Bazaar' on the app. Prefer browsing on your phone's browser? You can head straight to amazon.ae/bazaar and take it from there.
So if your wishlist has been gathering digital dust, now's the time to dive back in. Your future favourite finds might just be a few taps (and Dhs4 deals) away.

One of America's most important companies slashes 20,000 jobs and offers huge buyouts

UPS is offering voluntary buyouts to its full-time US drivers following its decision to slash 20,000 jobs and close 73 facilities. The Atlanta-based company will be providing its laid off employees with various benefits, including pensions and healthcare. The layoffs are part of UPS's network configuration plan, which also confirms the upcoming closures of over 90 more facilities in the future. The changes are part of the company's $3.5 billion cost reduction target for 2025, aiming to reach a 12 percent US operational margin by next year. UPS, which is one of the largest parcel delivery companies in the US, currently has 490,000 employees, around 330,000 of which are represented by the Teamsters union. The union was the first to announce the buyout, calling it an 'illegal violation' of the national contract in which UPS committed to create 22,500 jobs. 'Our members cannot be bought off and we will not allow them to be sold out. UPS needs to live up to the existing contract. They must honor their commitments,' said Sean O'Brien, general president of the union. The announcement comes months after UPS decided to halve the number of Amazon deliveries it takes before tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump took effect. Deliveries for the e-commerce giant make up around 12 percent of UPS's revenue. The company concluded that its profit margins from Amazon deliveries profit were too small, and it wanted to focus on other markets like healthcare and international deliveries. 'The world has not been faced with such enormous potential impacts to trade in more than 100 years,' said CEO Carol Tomé. Prior to these massive layoffs, UPS axed 12,000 employees and closed 11 facilities last year after its income declined by $1.87 billion due to its 'disappointing year' in 2023. Those layoffs came less than six months after UPS and Teamsters reached a $30 billion deal with its 340,000 person-union, avoiding a potential strike. 'The actions we are taking to reconfigure our network and reduce cost across our business could not be timelier,' Tomé said. 'The macro environment may be uncertain, but with our actions, we will emerge as an even stronger, more nimble UPS.' The 20,000 UPS employees are not alone in this year's string of mass layoffs. UPS CEO Carol Tomé believes the actions being taken to reconfigure its network and cost reduction 'could not be timelier' Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said he plans to reduce the company's corporate workforce over the next few years as AI will make certain roles redundant. It comes after the company laid off around 18,000 employees in 2023, informing them via email. Intel joined the job bloodbath last month by laying off 20,000 employees, particularly those who worked in factories. Microsoft also confirmed it would cut around 4 percent of its global workforce as it ramps up investments in artificial intelligence. The tech giant will slash around 9,000 jobs across different teams, geographies and levels of experience, it said on Wednesday. Besides iconic tech empires, Walmart is scaring its employees by slashing about 1,500 US jobs months after it laid off hundreds of workers in North Carolina.

The Oura ring is my favorite tracker — it has $100 off ahead of Amazon Prime Day

As a fitness editor, I've tried pretty much every wearable out there. From the all-new Whoop 5 to the Apple Watch, I love a fitness tracker, and I've tested them all. They range in price and what they offer in terms of features, and of course, some are more impressive than others. However, there's one device I've personally been wearing solidly for years — the Oura ring (was $299, now $199, and it currently has $100 off ahead of Amazon Prime Day (July 8 to July 11). My Oura ring has never let me down. I use it to track my sleep, energy levels, menstrual cycle, and recovery, and this tiny, chic device has helped me take my health and wellbeing to new heights. The only drawback is that it's expensive. But, that's no longer an issue thanks to the current saving. The Oura ring 4 ($349, was voted the best smart ring on the market by senior tech writer Alex Lee, and despite Samsung recently launching its Galaxy ring, Oura remains a firm favorite for fans of wearables, myself included. I love how the gold finish matches the rest of my jewelry and how lightweight, well-fitting, and easy to wear it is. Of course, you can also get the Oura in silver and cool, minimalist black as well as rose gold. The ring uses sensors inside the band to track variables that feed back information on your sleep quality, heart rate, and a raft of other health markers. To benefit from the discount and learn why I think you should invest, keep scrolling. If you're shopping for a tracker that simply measures fitness levels, there are plenty to choose from, but what makes the Oura ring special is that it offers much more. Not only is it small, lightweight, and easy to wear, but it also offers a range of insights that other trackers don't. My favorite features are the daily tags you can add to your activity log and the cycle calendar, which helps track your mood, sleep, and energy levels and predict the coming phases of your cycle. I've also found that I've been able to improve my sleep quality using the Oura ring — the sensors track your heart rate variability to track how long you spend in each phase of light, deep, and REM sleep, and by checking this and adapting the environment in my bedroom, taking my supplements at different times and going to bed earlier, I've been able to improve my overall sleep scores and rest better thanks to the ring. While the ring and subscription to the app aren't exactly cheap, this has been one of the most worthwhile investments I've made for my health. Oura ring 3 vs Oura ring 4 The deal on the third-generation Oura ring is impressively low and this is likely because Oura recently launched the ring 4. So, should you buy the newer model over the less expensive ring 3 that's on sale right now? Well, this all depends on what you're looking for in a smart ring. Both the Oura ring 3 and 4 are titanium-based, but the inside of the newer version is now wrapped in high-grade metal instead of the plastic used on the gen 3. The Oura ring 4 is also lighter, at 3.3-5.2g (depending on size), compared with 4-6g. While both versions of the ring promise to deliver similar metrics and insights, the ring 4 features an improved sensor platform that sits flusher with the ring, and it has an improved battery life, which is up to eight days, compared with the ring 3's seven days. In his review of the latest Oura ring, tech expert Alex said: 'The main benefit that the Oura ring 4 provides, compared with the gen 3, is improved durability, comfort and accuracy. This isn't a generational upgrade over the Oura ring 3, merely strengthening its position as the best smart ring out there for sleep tracking and recovery.'

Fourth of July barbeque prices have risen since Trump imposed tariffs, congressional analysis says

Americans may spend more on common barbeque items this Fourth of July with prices on products like beer, outdoor folding chairs and grill tools higher, according to a new congressional report. The total cost of a typical grocery trip for a cookout has increased by a 12.7% annualized rate since President Donald Trump 's sweeping tariff announcement in April, according to the analysis by the Joint Economic Committee's Democratic minority arm. It calculated the price increase using consumer price index data for the most popular food and beverage items for a 10-person summer cookout. The minority analysis found that a six-pack of bottled lite domestic beer from Miller Lite and Coors Light increased by more than 13% each since the April tariff announcement. The analysis looked at Walmart to find the most popular products and tracked their prices from April 1 to June 26 using price checking website AisleGopher. For imported beers, the minority analysis found a 10.5% price increase for bottles of Peroni Nastro Azzurro and a 9.5% increase for Modelo Especial bottles. In April, Trump announced 25% tariffs on beer imports and empty aluminum cans. In early June, his administration hiked tariffs on imported aluminum to 50%. Some beer brands, including Modelo owner Constellation Brands, have said higher aluminum costs have weighed on margins. The analysis also found price increases for key cookout gear by tracking popular listings on Amazon using price-checking websites and Since April 1, Amazon listings for a Coleman foldable camping chair increased 47.7% and a 25-piece griddle accessories kit increased 17.7%, according to the report. Other products saw more modest increases. A Banana Boat sunscreen rose 8.1%, Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil rose 6.9%, a Weber propane grill increased 5% and a multi-pack of disposable plates and utensils rose 3.3%, the report said. A separate May report from Rabobank, a global food and agribusiness bank, found that the cost of a 10-person barbeque rose 4.2% this year and will hit $100 for the first time ever. Its barbeque index highlighted higher beef prices as a contributing factor.
