Editorial process

How we pick the products

Every morning before 6am, we pull the best Amazon UK offers spotted by the HotUKDeals community - where thousands of deal hunters vote for the real bargains with their "heat" score. We filter out anything we've already published in the last 30 days, keep a category mix, and shortlist 8 fresh picks for the day. The last 2 slots are reserved for "still hot" picks - deals that have been near the top of HotUKDeals for days and that we republish as a reminder.

No brand pays to appear in our selection. The curation stays 100% independent.

How we write the articles

We use an artificial-intelligence model (Claude Sonnet 4.6, from Anthropic) with a system prompt tuned to keep the Your Next Bargain voice: direct, opinionated, anecdote when relevant. The model doesn't invent product specs; it works from Amazon's real data and the HotUKDeals card (title, price, category, community heat). We vary the angle by product: review opinion, comparison with an alternative, demo of concrete use, or a more considered dossier for higher-value purchases.

Every article goes through human review before publication. The AI-assistance note appears at the bottom of each article and in each newsletter. The byline stays "The Your Next Bargain team" because inventing a fake human author would be misleading.

How we fund the site

Your Next Bargain is registered in the Amazon Associates Programme (Amazon EU). When you buy a product via one of our links, we receive a commission on the sale. The purchase price stays exactly the same for you - Amazon takes our commission from its own margin, never from yours.

No other revenue: no display ads, no sponsored placements, no reader-data sales (we don't track anyone beyond strict technical necessity - see the privacy policy).

Our transparency

• Each article cites its source (HotUKDeals + Amazon) and the community heat at the time of curation.
• AI assistance is noted explicitly at the bottom of each article and in each newsletter.
• The Amazon affiliate relationship is disclosed next to every "See deal on Amazon" button, not just in the footer.
• The legal notice, the privacy policy and the affiliate disclosure are reachable from the bottom of every page.
