While I will always be a faithful Publix and Trader Joe customer when it comes to everyday food items and BOGO deals, I just had to make a change in my buying habits on big dollar necessary evils.
Paper Towels
Toilet Paper
Dish Detergent
Laundry Detergent
etc.
I don’t coupon much for three reasons.
#1 I don’t have enough time to dedicate to it to make it worth it (aka I would rather be blogging, working, cooking or really anything other than couponing).
#2 I don’t have patience (aka printing coupons makes me want to pull my hair out).
#3 I am not organized enough(aka couponing and menu planning at the same time is enough to make me go crazy, especially after a long work week).
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE a great deal, but I also value my free time.
So I started a subscription service through Amazon.
It’s called Subscribe and Save (they also have one specifically for diapers and baby products called Amazon Mom).
The gist of the programs is:
subscribe to receive specific products through the program (you choose how often),
get 5% discount off the already low bulk Amazon pricing,
order 5 or more items with the same delivery schedule and receive an additional 10% off you whole order
with free shipping.
So my order above includes brands and items I regularly buy at Target.
But this time I ordered them through the Subscribe and Save program.
I saved 35.6% off my order compared to regular Targets prices; I was shocked at the savings.
And I did’t have to wait for sales or look for coupons.
Best of all, all those products were waiting for me at my front door when I got off work last Wednesday.
I love knowing that I don’t have to remember to buy TP, dog treats or paper towels!
Yay for convenient cheap.
PS. if you are a Amazon Mom/Prime member you can even save an additional 5% off entire orders.
PSS. You can cancel or change your subscription at any time.
Yep…I’m a HUGE fan of subscribe and save!!!
I had heard about it for years but never really looked into it. LOVE IT
Goodness knows I’m a fan of Amazon but I’ve never seen this program. I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks for sharing, Rene!
