So I know I have told several of y'all about this wonderful thing called Amazon Mom and Amazon's Subscribe and Save Store but here are the details all spelled out for you. Individually they are awesome but when their powers combine... (I am Captain Planet?)... Anywhoo, it's awesome.
So go to Amazon and sign in or create an account if you don't have one.
AMAZON MOM
Search Amazon Mom:
Click the link Save with Amazon Mom:
Sign up and start saving! It's automatically applied then when you're signed into your account... no codes or anything. Free 2-Day shipping and Amazon Prime benefit for FREE! Just the free Prime is already $79 a year in savings! If you're already a Prime member, they will give you the option to cancel your membership and give you a prorated refund. You will receive FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime for the first 3 months of your membership. For each $25 you spend within a single order in the Baby store, they’ll grant you an additional month of Amazon Prime shipping benefits. You can earn up to one year from the date you joined Amazon Mom.
$25... That's less than one months supply of diapers, so free benefits for a year! Also, it's not just for moms; Dads, grandmas, aunts, etc.
Alrighty, you're halfway there... Now for subscribe and save!
SUBSCRIBE AND SAVE
Search Subscribe and Save on the Amazon website.
Now this is NOT JUST baby stuff. It's anything from printer ink to coffee to diapers to pet food... anything that you have to buy regularly. It's an extra 15% off and free 2 day shipping. You also automatically receive a new shipment of the item in intervals you select--every one, two, three, or six months. At my house we have diapers every month, wipes every 2 months and toilet paper every 6 months. It's great. And, if your supply is too low or too high you can add a shipment or skip a shipment.
I know it sounds complicated but it's really not. In your account, you can always manage and change (diaper size) and cancel subscriptions (see pic below). Super easy.
So for all of you out there with the need to buy diapers...
This is the one I get but there are tons more brands and sizes of course.
So, $41.99 for 228 diapers ($.18/diaper)
minus 15% for Amazon Mom
minus 15% for Subscribe and Save
$29.39 for 228 diapers ($.13/diaper)
(Disclaimer: I am not a math person but another great feature is that they do all the math for you and put it next to the total cost. Ex: per diaper, per ounce of coffee, per roll of toilet paper, per cup of dog food, etc. It's nice to know how much you're actually spending on each wipe, diaper or roll.)
That's a huge savings considering the average baby goes through at least 2000 diapers a year... HUGE savings! So let's say you use one pack a month.. that's almost $12 in savings a month x 12 months... $144 dollars a year and it's sent straight to your door... perfect!
So there it is for all you money savers... a virtual Sam's/Costco delivered to your door.
(The Subscribe and Save Store on Amazon is in Beta (meaning they're just getting it up and running) so if your shampoo brand or toilet paper brand isn't on there yet try again in a few weeks because they are constantly adding things)
BONUS: Who the heck doesn't LOVE getting packages delivered to you?!?... Gray and I love it!
BONUS BONUS: I'm now friends with my UPS guy ;)
