    We all know that Amazon is the greatest company ever, and I would hope everyone here has Prime and uses the Subscribe & Save feature, which might just be the most awesome thing on the internet. I get 25% off on all my items with free shipping. Why wouldn't anyone use this?

    Here are my subscriptions:
    - baby food (those little pouches)
    - cat food
    - diapers, wipes, etc
    - toilet paper
    - paper towels
    - garbage bags
    - deodorant
    - laundry detergent

    What else can I add that I'm not thinking about?

    Though not subscribe and save you should look into their warehouse. I got 12 22oz tortilla chips for 20 buvks. You can't find that cheaper anywhere else.

    I used to do subscribe and save but living locally I've found that I can actually find stuff cheaper than Walmart.

    I'll have to check into this Subscribe & Save thing. I get a lot of things through Amazon and yes, I have my Prime membership. I get my money's worth out of it too.

    It will be interesting to see if this can save me money since I get pretty good deals on just about everything at our base commissary.

    Rifle accessories, Dead Down Wind, random parts for household appliances, the list is endless really. I use Amazon frequently.

    I don't subscribe and save for anything as I don't really use it for replenished purchases.


    I am a long time member and of course prime member. I buy a TON of things from there. I even bought my tablesaw from them since it was cheaper than buying direct from Steel City.

    Why not?

    I hate going to big grocery stores, so this usually saves me from going to them. They arrive at my door either monthly or bi-monthly. It's pretty freaking awesome.

    I am a prime member and have never heard of subscribe and save. I will be looking into this.

    Our life is just too random for any monthly subscriptions.

    Sure but some months we might need 10 rolls and others we might only need 5. I guess I'm just OK paying as I go :)

    You can delay the delivery to the next month if you get too stocked up. My tp delivery is every 2 months.

    I think it's a pretty good idea, just don't think I'm organized enough to keep track. Kinda reminds me of extreme couponing.

    Keep track of? You set your delivery 1 time, and then it just automatically does it for you...it literally just shows up at your front doorstep.

    If anything it is less to keep track of :lol:

    The whole thought of subscribing to household item deliveries leads my mind to thinking of organization on the level of a serial killer.

    No way on earth am I organized enough with random purchases like this to have them sent automatically. I can go to SAMS club and stock up in 20 minutes on all the same stuff, in a years+ supply for as cheap/cheaper.

    I occasionally use Amazon but most online purchases I make either can't be found on Amazon, or can be found cheaper on eBay.

    Because for the few "bulk" items I need replenishing where I might see a savings vs buying traditional, it's just as easy for me to buy from Sam's. Or better yet, from Wegman's...where my wife works. (who is carrying bulk now to compete with these places).

    I just don't like going to big grocery stores. I do most of my grocery shopping at my local butcher, farmer's market or my garden. This saves me from having to go to Walmart or Target or whatever with all the peasants.

    I've never bought anything from Amazon.

    Or ebay, or craig's list.
