Amazon Subscribe and Save Guide

If you follow us on Facebook at Delaware Deal Finder or participate in our group Online Deals and Steals, you see a lot of post about items on Amazon that are cheaper if you add them to Subscribe and Save.

What is Subscribe and Save? Subscribe and Save is a monthly subscription service, but what is cool is that you can easily add, skip a month and remove items month to month depending on what is a better deal. Each item it typically a 5% savings just to add to you subscription. You can even stumble upon deals where coupons and other discounts are offered for your first subscription. Once you have at least 5 items in your subscription, the discount increases to 15% off everything you have in your subscription. Amazon Family Prime members can unlock 20% off for certain categories, like diapers, baby food and more, while other items remain at 15% savings.

When do I receive the items? You can set up the auto delivery dates on your own and then typically each month on the same date the shipment recurs. You will receive an email so if you forgot about it and don't need another box of paper towels, you will get a reminder to make any updates before the shipping deadline. You can auto set items to a specific recurrence, so if you want toilet paper every other month and soap every three months it's no problem. The key though it to make sure to have at least 5 items each month to unlock the biggest discounts.



 
5, 15, 20% off? Is that it?
On top of the discounts offered just for adding items to a subscription, you can snag some awesome deals with promos and coupons. If you see a "clip coupon" icon just click on it to redeem. A lot of coupons are only applicable on your first subscription so remember that unless you cancel for the following month, you will see a price increase. That is why I like to change things up each month to get the biggest discounts. Your price is only locked in for the first order, not future orders, so remember to check each month and make adjustments.

How can I cancel a subscription so I don't receive it again? If you snagged an awesome deal but don't want another box of 50 bags of cookies the following month...just cancel the subscription. It's really east to do:
 1) Go to Subscribe and save items under your account
 2) Click on the subscription you want to modify
 3) Click edit
 4) click "CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION"

What kind of items are eligible? Everything and anything. The items change frequently. You'll see the basics like toilet paper, paper towels, diapers...things you may want monthly. I've also seen toys, makeup, batteries, the list goes on. That's why it's important to stay up to date with changing your monthly subscriptions. Click here to see all the subscribe and save items.

Here are two views of how you will know an item is eligible for Subscribe and Save. On the left is how it may look on a desktop or in the app if you are viewing the specific item. On the right is how it will appear in the app if you are just scrolling for all subscribe and save items. You will also notice that some items already have a frequency set, like every 2 months for the paper towels. You can still modify this for more or less frequently and cancel all together after the first order. Also, notice the % that is in orange. The 15% is highlighted which means I already have 5 items in my subscription so this would be eligible for 15% off. If you have less items, the 5% will be marked. If it was a Amazon Family qualifying item, it would show 20%.
