Amazon Subscribe & Save Explained (+ Filler Item Ideas Under $5!)

Using Amazon Subscribe & Save at Amazon has been a total game-changer for keeping my household stocked with all the stuff we need. With Subscribe & Save, I automatically score 5-15% off on everyday items, and sometimes, even more, when I combine savings with Amazon coupons. Cancelling Amazon Subscribe & Save subscriptions was my biggest fear in the beginning, but I found out it’s actually very easy!

What is Amazon Subscribe & Save?

Now, let me break it down for you: Amazon Subscribe & Save is like having a personal delivery service that brings your essentials right to your doorstep. You can customize the delivery schedule, choosing between weekly or monthly drop-offs. You can even mix it up and have different products delivered on different days.

Need something in a hurry but still want that awesome Subscribe & Save discount? No worries! Just tweak the delivery date in your account settings. Keep in mind, though, you’ll usually have to wait at least a week, so it’s not instant gratification. When you use Subscribe & Save on up to four products, you will save an extra 5% on each product. However, if you subscribe to five or more products, you can get an extra 15% off!

Is Shipping Free with Subscribe & Save?

Great news! Free standard shipping is still going strong for everyone on auto-deliveries. You don’t need to be a Prime Member to get these deals! Please note that non-Prime members will need to add $35 worth of qualifying products for free shipping on their first delivery only. Every subsequent Subscribe & Save delivery will be without extra shipping fees!

You’re not obligated to keep receiving subscriptions if you don’t want to. And if you ever feel like canceling, no worries at all – it’s super easy. So enjoy the perks, stay flexible, and have fun with your Subscribe & Save adventures! Don’t have Amazon Prime? Get a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime!

Cancelling Subscribe & Save Orders

Making changes before the next shipment is a breeze with Amazon! They’ll shoot you a friendly reminder email right before your next order ships. So, whether you want to mix things up or take a rain check on an order, you’ve got the power to update or skip it whenever you feel like it!

If you’re ready to cancel your subscription, just follow these simple steps:

• Head over to the “Subscribe & Save” items tab
• Find the subscription you want to cancel
• Confirm your cancellation and unsubscribe. Done!

It’s also easy to pause a subscription on Amazon. Just go to “My Account” on the website or app, find “Your Subscribe & Save Items,” and hit the “Skip” button for the products you don’t want right now. You can even change the delivery date or skip a whole month if you feel like it.

Get 15% Off with Five Subscriptions

When you have at least five items in your subscription, Amazon chops an extra 15% off your entire order. But if you’re subscribed to only one to four items, you’ll still get the extra 5% off. Sometimes, you’re just one item away from hitting that magic five. That’s where the “filler” items come in. You can also subscribe to the same product in five separate orders and bam! Enjoy that full 15% off.

You can totally stack any available coupons and save big! Clip coupons on each item to score extra savings on top of the 5% or 15% discount you already get. Please note, these Amazon Subscribe & Save coupons only apply to your first delivery.
