Leave it to Amazon to find a way to make our lives even easier. Instead of dealing with the hassle of car seats, temper tantrums, and forgotten shopping lists, Amazon's Subscribe & Save lets you set up monthly deliveries for your most-used household, grocery, baby, and health products without ever having to leave your house. That makes the service ideal for busy parents and well... any person who would rather spend less time running errands and more time chilling at home. So, basically everyone.

What is Amazon's Subscribe & Save Program?

It's as simple as it sounds: If you subscribe to monthly auto-deliveries of your favorite everyday products, you can save up to 15% and get free shipping. While this program is free for all Amazon customers, you must subscribe to a monthly delivery for 5 different items to qualify for the deal. And if you're a Prime member, you can unlock 20% off by signing up for at least five monthly deliveries. For products you don't use on a monthly basis, you can select a two, three, four, five, or six-month delivery option.

So, what products are included?

You can save on Amazon's top products, including everything from laundry detergent to dog food. Parents, in particular, will benefit from adding baby products from popular brands like Solimo and Mama Bear to their carts.

Keep your - and your kid's! - health top of mind by subscribing to vitamins and supplements from brands like Amazon Elements and Own Pwr.


What are the benefits?

  • Save up to 15% on a growing selection of top-rated Amazon products, including baby essentials and daily vitamins. Prime members can save up to 20%.

  • You're not locked in, so you can change your delivery date, skip a monthly delivery altogether, or cancel a subscription anytime.

  • Get bulky items (diapers, especially) delivered straight to your door. No driveway juggling acts here.

  • Set it and forget it: Keep your house stocked with monthly necessities at all times.

  • Free shipping, no matter what.

Sounds great. How do I sign up?

When shopping for products that you use regularly (think: diapers, vitamins, baby wipes, and more), simply select the Subscribe & Save option and how often you'd like the item to be delivered. Before your order ships, you'll receive a reminder email highlighting the items, price, and applicable discount for your upcoming delivery. Then, sit back and relax while you wait for your shipment to arrive.
