Sharing with you today my research on what products are best
to Subscribe and Save to on Amazon and what we currently have in our monthly,
bi-monthly, or quarterly deliveries (or did in the past). I always compare to
Walmart’s prices as stated online to serve as a baseline and only S&S to
those products that are priced lower on Amazon. Disclaimer: I’m not a couponer,
so there very well may be better deals from time to time for those of you who
are, but I just don’t have the time for it at our current phase in life.
For those of you new to the Amazon Subscribe and Save world,
Subscribe and Save is a delivery service of sorts. You are provided free
standard shipping on your subscribe and save products, and the convenience of
regularly scheduled deliveries. There are no commitments, obligations, or fees
and you can cancel a subscription at any time. You can also skip a delivery if
you don’t need the product for that particular delivery period, or change the
size of what you’ve subscribed to (example: diapers). The very best part? You
receive a discount off the Amazon price of 5% when you Subscribe and Save to
that product, and if you subscribe and save to 5 or more products per delivery
period you get a discount of 15% off of everything. If you’re an Amazon Family
member, you get an automatic 20% discount on diapers, baby food, and more.
We love it because it keeps the bulk out
of our shopping carts, our pantries stocked, and has saved us a ton of money on
everyday staples. So here you have it: the best items to subscribe and save to,
by category, and what we love the most.
Household Staples
Paper
Towels: Amazon released their own line called Presto, and we were actually
invited to be some of the first testers of the product. They’re cheap, durable,
and have the flex-a-size feature where you can tear off a half or full sheet,
depending on the mess. We subscribe and save to 24 rolls delivered every 3
months. There is a 10% off coupon right now (“clip” it on Amazon) on top of the
5 or 15% discounts already available through S&S, AND for a limited time,
members of Amazon Prime qualify for a 20% discount, up to $20, on the first
order of a Subscribe and Save subscription. Long story short: this is the best
price for paper towels out there.
Toilet
Paper: Nearly the same story here. This is Amazon brand toilet paper, new
to market, and we got to be testers. There are a few different varieties, but
we S&S to the Ultra Strong. They’re also offering a 10% coupon on top of
S&S discounts, and the 20% discount, up to $20, on the first order of a
S&S subscription.
Furnace
Filters: This is a new one for us, based on a recommendation of a friend. And
what a good one it was! We get these delivered bi-annually now, which serves as
our reminder to switch out the older filter for the new.
Food
Coffee:
Keurig k-cups are our guilty pleasure and get us out the door faster. McDonald’s
k-cups have turned into our favorite ones. Right now, there is a coupon for 15% extra savings, applied to first order only. The price for
these is better than anywhere else, even TJ Maxx, Homegoods, or SAMs
Club.
Lara
Bars: Matt never has time for lunch, so these are his go-to snack for on
the run. Also great for nursing moms. Right now, there is an extra $4.00 coupon
on the first order.
Baby
Diapers:
We S&Sed to Pampers Swaddlers until the boys potty trained, and always
exercised our 20% off diapers through Amazon Family.
Wipes:
These Amazon water wipes are the best, ever. I was a Babyganics wipes user
until these were released, and I’ll never look back! We S&S to the flip-top
pack of six every month so we can disperse them throughout our bathrooms and I can
always keep one in the car and one in my purse.
Baby
Wash and Shampoo: I’m pretty sure we’ve tried all of the baby wash products
out there. This Aquaphor is my favorite for so many reasons: there’s a pump
dispenser, it’s a body wash AND shampoo product, it’s made for sensitive skin, it’s
a LARGE size bottle, and it’s sold at a great price. We get a bottle every
month (I think the recommended is every 2 months, but we have two kiddos that
use it).
Baby
Lotion: We S&S to this one and use it for both boys, and then supplement
a bunch of other non-Amazon stuff for eczema, which both boys have had this
winter (Oskar the worst). I also like the size and pump dispense of the bottle.
Anything smaller sized with a squeeze dispense are no-gos in my book.
Beauty
Mascara:
My favorite mascara right to my door every 2 months.
Mascara
Primer: Mascara primer to set my mascara and to keep it from running,
delivered every 3 months.
Burt’s
Bees Coconut and Pear Chapstick: I tried this and am in love, and can’t
find it anywhere else. This has been a wintertime staple. We get a pack of 2
every 2 months, one for Matt, one for me.
Magic
BB Cream: This was one of my March Amazon favorites, and I S&Sed to it
to keep it coming. I went with the 3 month interval which was recommended.
A quick note as I round this post out. All of these
deliveries result in a lot of boxes, but Amazon has partnered with Goodwill.
You can now pack your empty boxes full of donations, and print free shipping
labels from GiveBackBox.com. Let UPS or the U.S. Postal Service deliver your
box of donations for you. Such a win-win program that I’m all about. Find out

Hope this has been helpful and this saves you money and time spent shopping! If you have any other recommendations I'd love to hear them!
