If you’re an Amazon Prime member and haven’t tried the Subscribe & Save program, you’re missing out on some of Amazon’s best deals. This program is perfect for items you need to restock regularly, like laundry supplies, toiletries, and supplements.
How Does Amazon Subscribe & Save Work?
If you already have an Amazon account, it’s easy to get started. Just go to the Subscribe & Save section and browse for items you use often, like your favorite shampoo, paper towels, or vitamins.
When you find what you need, you’ll see an option to “Subscribe & Save” instead of just adding it to your cart for a one-time purchase. Choose how often you want to receive the item (monthly, every three months, etc.), and Amazon will automatically send it to you on that schedule.
Your order will come on a set day each month, and by selecting this instead of a single purchase, you can save 15 percent or more on your essentials. The more items you add to your monthly order, the larger your savings will be. In the example pictured above, if you have less than five items, you’ll save 5 percent, but if you’ve got more items, you’ll save 15 percent. The value of the items in the cart doesn’t matter, so smaller things like toothpaste or sponges for your dishes can really make a difference.
What if I don’t want Amazon Subscribe & Save items anymore?
About a week before your monthly order is set to ship, you’ll get an email reminder that gives you the opportunity to see what’s coming and change your automatic order before it charges your account and ships out. I personally change the frequency of my order all the time. Colder months mean more of my favorite lotions and chapsticks, and when my kid is away at camp, I need less toilet paper. You can just skip months, or cancel altogether if you no longer need the items.
