Is anyone a subscriber to Amazon Mom? Did you find that the membership pays for itself? Or were you able to find better diaper deals in the stores when paired with sales and coupons? It looks liked it's linked to Prime so free s/h on anything Amazon as well as free streaming, as far as I understand. Also, if you were thinking of joining, new members will receive 50% one select pack of Huggies diapers if you sign up by Feb 10. However, only newborn and size three and up are eligible. ETA: Please excuse the HUGH mobile upload pics! Any hints on how to not make them so gigantic?

I am a prime member now, but used AM with my first two. Its great. We CD mostly, so I used it for my occasional disposables and wipes. Even if you have to choose subscribe and save for an item. As soon as you check out, you can delete if from your subscribe and save list, so you don't actually have to subscribe to things.
I don't know if its cheaper - didn't do a lot of comparison, but let me tell you, having things arrive on your doorstep and not having to get to the store is really nice those first few weeks and months!

I currently have Amazon Prime, I had a student membership for free then when it renewed we kept it. We love the convenience of free fast delivery and I will be signing up for Amazon Mom. (But since I have Prime I won't be paying for anything extra, depends on how much you think you'll shop online.)

I have Amazon prime and Amazon mom. I use subscribe and save to get diapers. I love having them delivered to my door. We live over an hour from any big box store to buy supplies so I buy a lot of stuff thru Amazon. And my son loves the videos that he can watch because of Prime.
Our Amazon Prime/Mom membership definitely pays for itself. We use it for diapers and wipes through subscribe and save. We purchased our crib and dresser (as well as most baby stuff) from Amazon and got free shipping. We use it for holiday/birthday gifts and just send it straight to the family member/friend. I love the convenience of not having to go out for packs of diapers all the time. We do buy certain things outside of Amazon (baby clothing and formula) because their price doesn't always beat going to the store. We also use the free streaming for movies and tv series since we don't have cable.
MH is the main account holder in our fam for Amazon Prime and thus Amazon Mom. He was able to share the subscription for Amazon Prime with me but not Amazon Mom. I love Prime and being able to have diapers/wipes/bibs/pacifiers/whatever we suddenly run low on delivered to our house for free in just 2 days.

I couldn't live without Prime/ Mom. It really allows DH and I to spend more time together and not running out to the store for this or that. Before kids, it was super convenient to just run in a store and get what I want and leave... now it's a pretty big undertaking with 2 kids so I appreciate having things just show up here.
Thanks!! I'm still undecided on which brand I'm going to end up using, but had planned to start with the Little Snugglers at least until the cord falls off, because of the handy little cut out. A box of 88 for under $7? Yes, please!
Of course my PgAL brain immediately went into overdrive about counting chickens before they hatch, but trying to shut that bitch down now.

I love my Amazon mom membership. So easy to have diapers automatically shipped to my house then having to remember. Never checked how much I saved it was just so convenient to use and I will be using again. I also love my Prime membership and I constantly order things from Amazon instead of having to go to the store for random things all the time.
I've had Prime for 2 years now and absolutely could not live without it, lol! Signed up for Amazon Mom and got a free sample of 2 different Nestle baby formulas, don't know if I'll even use them but they were free and I figured why not. I can always donate them if I don't use them. I plan on using the subscribe and save for diapers and wipes too!

I use prime and AM. I love them both. Amazon has amazing costumer service too. I love that I can stream videos and the free books you get with prime.
When I had my second child I wanted a double stroller. I found the one I wanted and put it in my cart. The next day I went to order the stroller and it had sold out. I called Amazon and they gave my the next style up (it cost $100 more) for the price of the stroller that had sold out.
I am always so impressed with them. I do the subscribe and save on diapers, razors, water filters for our fridge, etc to save extra!
You can also share your prime with up to three people and they can have their own log in too. This is not a feature I have used but I have read about it. My cousin and sister have used my prime to ship things to them and then have the items shipped to their house with no problems.

Also- I buy Amazon gift cards at my local grocery store and keep them on my account. The grocery store has a gas fuel perks program so I get free tanks of gas too! With that savings on top I definitely beat the diaper prices elsewhere
Definitely pays for itself with diaper savings. And the free 2 day shipping and $3.99 one day shipping are life-savers for those baby things you've never heard of and then need RIGHT NOW- especially if you are like me and an hour+ from Target or Babies R Us.
Also, the streaming movies/videos are an added bonus!

Yes, it more than pays for itself. I was shocked when I went to target with a coupon once thinking I'd save some money. Nope. Amazon is way cheaper and more convenient. Be sure to use subscribe & save for the best discounts.
