What are some household products that gets used regularly that I can subscribe and save on? I can't think of anything else besides toilet paper. They don't have the brand of tissues or napkins I want, and the brand of shampoo and paper towels I want is not eligible for subscribe and save. Any other ideas? I'm new to this Very Happy

Looking at my list: Biokleen laundry detergent, Yummy Earth lollies, Babyganics sunscreen, Oxiclean, Method floor cleanser, Bar Keeper's Friend, Magic Erasers, Osem mandelen, disinfecting wipes...

Ok I'll look into some of those, thanks! Can you have different delivery schedules for different items? Like toilet paper every 2 months but oxiclean every 4 months or something? Or everything has to come together?

also, consider feminine hygiene products (my dad did this for me). also, it you use a lot of paper/plastic cups and plates etc. paper lunch bags, plastic table clothes etc.

Yes, you can have different delivery schedules, but in order to maximize savings and get 15% off instead of 5%, you need 5 of the subscriptions to come in the same month.

I've only used subscribe and save when there was a promotion on the item. For example, I have a subscription for body wash because it was $1.50 less per bottle than regular price.

I also only use it to buy things that are cheaper than normal and to get the additional 15% off. I add things all month and then adjust before it ships and delete things after it ships.

piegirl,
how does it work exactly if you are changing things around all month. I'm a bit confused on that point. What is the benefit? Are there any drawback? Thanks for explaining! I'm so curious how you make it work!

I follow deal blogs like kosheronabudget, bargainboutiquedeals, dailycheapskate, hip2save and when they post a subscribe and save deal I subscribe to it. It ships once a month, so the week before it ships Amazon emails me and I make sure everything on the list is still needed. After it ships I cancel all the future orders so that they don't ship again next month when I don't necessarily need them and when they may be at a higher price.
Anything I order from Amazon I order subscribe and save if possible so I save 15%.

I use it for pampers. You get a choice of how often you want it to ship. Every month, 2 months, or 3 months. You can also cancel the subscribtion whenever you want.

They offer a lot of drug store makeup brands at a much better price than retail items at the drug store through subscribe and save.
