Amazon Subscribe and Save
September 15, 2016, BY Emma Craig
Do you always forget to grab some of the basic stock up items when you’re doing your weekly shopping? Well have those items delivered right to your door when you need them AND get a discount on the price thanks to Amazon subscribe and save.
Choose from categories including baby, personal care, beauty, grocery, home & kitchen as well as pets. While not everything is the best deal you will find, there are some amazing deals that you don’t want to miss out on. You don’t have to worry about paying for shipping because it’s completely free and you get to enjoy the convenience of having your products delivered right to your door.
The best way to organize your items is to add them to your Amazon cart, and then proceed with the subscribe and save for the items as you need them. After a few months you will have the perfect schedule for what you need and the savings to go with it!
How does it work?
Subscribe to your favourite brand name items and get up to 15% off your order. You can choose to subscribe to that item monthly, every 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 months based on how often you need to stock up on it. To get the full 15% discount you need to subscribe to 5 items in that month. You can cancel the subscription at any time with no penalties and you don’t pay for shipping of your order. You get to choose the date that you need your monthly items on and Amazon takes care of the rest!
What are the best deals?
Diapers and Wipes
As most parents know, you rarely pay full price for diapers, because they are usually on sale somewhere at any given point. Not to mention coupons are common, if you know where to look. As a savvy shopper of diapers, I have found that the price on Amazon for brand-name diapers including Huggies and Pampers is superior to those sales in stores, especially when you factor in Subscribe and Save. The easiest way to tell a good price of diapers is to break it down to cost per unit, that way it doesn’t matter how big the box is and you know how to compare them.
*Note the discount on diapers is only 5% unless you subscribe to Amazon Family
