Back in February, I explained that the Subscribe and Save discount on Amazon had increased from 5% to 15% if you subscribed to 5 items in a month. Now Amazon has announced that if you are an Amazon Mom Prime member, you will receive 20% off – an additional 5% savings just for being an Amazon Mom member.
If you aren’t an Amazon Mom member yet, sign up here for a free 3 month trial. Look at the top of this page for the Amazon Mom tab to read detailed information about the program and it’s benefits.
Subscribe and Save
If you aren’t familiar with subscribe and save, it is a discount program that gives you 5% – 20% off for subscribing to an item. Subscribing means that you request the item be automatically shipped to you every 1-6 months. You get to choose how often it is shipped and you can easily skip a shipment if you don’t need it yet. This works especially great for diapers and wipes because it ensures you never run out. You can also ask for an extra shipment and cancel at any time.
Popular subscribe and save categories are:
Baby and Childcare
- Diapers
- Wipes
- Diaper ointment
- Baby shampoo, lotion
- Vitamins
- Razor blades (much cheaper than Target/Walmart in my experience)
- Toilet paper, paper towel
- Laundry soap (Tide)
- Batteries
- Dishwasher soap
- Oil of Olay (a personal favorite and you save so much money)
- Make-up
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Moisturizers, cleansers and scrubs
Grocery - Baby food (pouches, jars)
- Infant Formula
- Coffee, tea
- Snack food
Pet Items- Pet food
- Pet treats
- Litterbox items
- Pet supplements like glucosamine sulfate
As you can see, it is pretty easy to find 5 items per month especially with a baby around. Not only do you get free 2 day shipping right to your door on these items, you often save a significant amount compared to shopping at Walmart or Target. They arrive as often as you want, when you want, and you don’t have to worry about running out. With the extra 5% savings for Amazon Mom members, it is just another great reason to join the program.

I love Amazon Mom! Between Subscribe and Save and Amazon Mom, I basically have the entire “supply chain” of my household streamlined. Love, love, love.
