How many things do you have on subscription on Amazon?

I have about 7 things coming monthly. I really appreciate the variety of goods and the great prices on each item with free shipping!

LOVE MY AMAZON PRIME❤️❤️❤️

no subscriptions......i just order items as i need them.

on some things that are covered, this then allows me to use mr rebates and get a bit of money back.

@SeaMaidenWhat kinds of things do you have on subscription? I can't imagine wanting that many things month after month.

For the first time in years and years, I have no AD's here. I don't know how many I had, but I do know I got such a backlog of products that I couldn't uise them all within a reasonable time. Right now I'm just replacing items when I've used up everything in a category - no more kits, no more boxes from QVC or anywhere else.

don't know how many total items I have on AD (quite a few!), but I usually only get 5-7 items a month. I keep an eye on it and many of them are not every month, rather every 2 or 4 or so months.

I like getting the additional 15% off on most items, so that makes a difference. Even if it were just the dog food, I save quite a bit on Amazon (several years ago when we were still getting it at PetSmart it was $59.99 plus tax and it's much less on Amazon, plus the 15% discount for AD), but I get a number of other household items - some needs, some wants - on AD and it saves me a lot of time, but a lot more money.

Same here! I like to buy as I need and Amazon will deliver within 2 days.

You set each item for how frequently - between every month or in monthly increments up to every 6 months. Plus, you can change things. I review my ADs all the time and move things I don't need yet.

I have three things on subscription from Amazon: greenies, a sugar free candy and a soup that I like. I save money that way and I don't run out of my favorites.

I've never subscribed.

I haven't done this yet but probably should. There are some Naturelo vitamins that I recently started taking but I just usually reorder when I get low because Amazon Prime gets them to me in two days anyway. The savings of like $1.00 per bottle via subscription isn't all that important to me.

Auto-delivery? I've seen it on a few items here and there but I don't need a monthly supply of dish scrubbies. LOL

@chickenbutt Yes! This is what I do. I adjust what I order and how many each month.

They ship so quickly I don't really need to subscribe to things. The price difference isn't that much, and I find it easier to keep track of purchases when I order them as needed.

I don't know. 15% can really add up. I save way more than my annual Prime fee. Plus, it brings already competitive prices down even more.

Too bad QVC doesn't do something like that, even if they only offered a 5% discount it would matter. But I can also see how that would be pretty complicated and every system isn't geared for variables like that. Heck, they can't even make their website work much of the time. hehe

@SeaMaiden I have about 13 items on Subscribe and Save because I save a lot of $$ of items I use all the time. I have a lot of vitamins, toiletries (eye drops, all-purpose salve, Q-Tips, mouthwash, fruit&veg wash, laundry soap, among others). Each item is sent on a particular schedule (every 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc.) If I have inventory of an item, I skip it as they send a delivery notice before shipment and you can always alter your delivery order as warranted without losing the discount.

Consolidating all these purchases really helps me avoid going store to store. I recently had my knee replaced so I try to avoid "over-doing" my local shopping when possible. (Of course, Costco is always a MUST and can't be avoided!)
