So I didn't renew my bjs membership this fall and have been Amazon priming a lot. I recently started using Subscribe and Save and am kind of excited about it. The prices so far are comparable to bjs/walmart and you save 15% if you have...what is it, 4? Or 5? Things delivered at once. I think it's 5.
Anyway, so far I've subscribed for deodorant for both H and I, coffee, dog food, TP. Just kind of adding things that we buy regularly as they come up.
So curious, anyone else? What's good to auto order that I'm maybe not thinking of?

With the 15% stuff is most definitely cheaper so far (the brands we use anyway).
It'd super easy to edit. I've been moving things around a lot since I'm just kind of getting into it and it's just all drop-downs (quantity, frequency, delivery date, etc)
I love subscribe and save! I use it regularly for diapers and wipes for our foster sons, paper towels, napkins, k-cups, and some snacks.
Also, I like to check the Amazon coupons page for subscribe and save items that are "on sale" with one time use coupons. Most months I find at least one or two good deals with the coupons, and I'll just get those items for the one time and then cancel my subscription. So I end up with different items on my S&S order every month, depending on what deals I find.
TBH I don't think I make the most of subscribe and save. I bet I could do better if I actually took the time to compare prices and stuff.
Right now I pretty much subscribe and save for one month to get some of the coupons and deals then cancel after I get the item. So each month is different. I've never had any real reoccuring shipments.
I was actually just thinking the other day about this exact topic. Right now I only get diapers. But there are definitely more things I should be getting. So far I've only come up with TP and paper towels. Coffee isn't a bad idea either, thechickencoop.
But I'm lost on anything else. Like alwayscheese mentioned, I really have no clue how long it takes us to go through deodorant, or toothpaste or Lysol wipes, etc. Maybe some kind of snack food or bars? Pouches for the toddler?

That's what I've really done in the past - just ordered, gotten my coupon & 5% off, then cancelled. But man, 15% actually makes a difference! Especially with dog food. Our cat food isn't an option which I find annoying 😒
I'm just trying to add enough things so I can keep shifting them around and still have 5 each delivery period.
Might have to look at some other snack tpye stuff I guess...paper towels and napkins will be on there at some point but I just stocked up so it won't be for a while.

I should see if either of the food my dogs eat are available for subscribe and save 🤔

My H is obsessed with subscribe and save. He would get everything that way if he could. We do diapers, wipes, formula, pouches, deodorant, dishwasher detergent, other kid snacks like snack bars, and a bunch of other stuff. We recently added filters for our air handlers and when they come we know it's time to change them. Oh and toilet paper, paper towels, stuff like that.
We move things around every month. Amazon sends an email saying to make changes and we check everything at that point to see if we need more. H also obsessively checks and compares prices.
The only thing I don't like is that things become unavailable and they don't ship them, sometimes at the very last minute or even after you're expecting them. That has us scrambling sometimes, but not enough to change it!

I already shop at like 3-4 different grocery stores every week so I subscribe & save everything that I would need to run to Target for: deodorant, sunscreen, TP, hand soap, dish soap, air filters, scrubby sponges, chapstick, H's shaving cream, razors, diapers, wipes, pouches, puffs, and dog food.
I'd get more but I'm pretty brand loyal so if I can't find what I want (or for the right price) then I buy in-store.
