Just had to share
So I know this is probably a lame first post back after being MIA for so long. But I only have a minute and I just wanted to share about a pretty great deal I have discovered. And maybe all of you already know about this but I discovered it by chance so I figured, it’d be a nice thing to share.
I LOVE THIS! You sign up (it’s free) and you get 3 months of “Amazon Prime Membership” which equals Free 2-day shipping on everything Amazon Prime related which is 80% of stuff on Amazon.
Once you sign up, for every $25 you spend on Baby stuff in a single order, you get another month free (up to 12 months max).
I have purchased Ella’s formula from them because it’s the same price as anyplace else I’ve found, plus it’s delivered to my house in 2 days. SOOOO convenient.
I think I made it to 12 months of Free 2-day shipping in a month or two because of Ella’s formula and other stuff I purchased from them.
Lastly, you can purchase some stuff (diapers and wipes for example) using their “subscribe and save.” This saves you 30% off those items. Since I’ve had to use disposables for a time, I used it to buy diapers. I get a 222 count box of pampers for $29.95 and it is delivered to my house. Do you know how big that box is? Just the convenience of NOT having to cart it home from the store makes it worth it. Not to mention saving 30%.
I also recently found Ella’s formula (a 6-pack of cans) was eligible for subscribe and save. I ended up saving $20 on that too.
The other nice thing about subscribe and save is that you can sign up and then cancel after only one order. You can order an additional shipment at any time (if you run out before your next scheduled shipment) and you can change the frequency of deliveries at any time. I just put my orders at shipping every 3 months and I know I can always order an extra shipment early when I need it.
I am back to using cloth diapers during the day so I don’t need the diapers often. But they are nice to have (and cheap) for when Ella gets a rash.
I have also ordered some to donate to our local pregnancy center because it is such a good deal and I know they need them.
BTW, the subscribe and save also applies to some Non-mom stuff too like paper towels, toilet paper and other household stuff that you need to buy regularly.
Maybe this will help others save a few bucks and also offer some convenience!
P.S. I have not been asked to “plug” Ama.zon Mom by anyone at Amaz.on, nor am I receiving any reimbursement of any kind from them (I wish, LOL). Just wanted to share.
Matt has Amazon Prime and he loves it. So do I. The only problem is that it makes shopping just a little too easy and I buy more.
Cool! I have to look into that. Pronto.
Yes, I agree it does tend to get me to buy more. I’m sure that’s why it’s still profitable for them to offer free 2-day shipping. They know it’s so tempting…and easy, to shop! LOL! But I’m usually pretty good about just buying what I want/need and not what pops up in the “you might also like” advertisements.
I just love being able to think about needing something and pop on the computer, find it in 2 minutes and have it shipped for free in 2 days. Especially when it is so hard to get to the store these days with Ella in tow and I just need formula or toilet paper or something dumb that I don’t feel like running to the store to get. I guess it’s just the lazy in me. But it’s hard carting Ella to the store and back just for a few things and then I usually end up buying more than I need there too. I am so bad about that. I can’t just buy what I went in to buy.
So I think Amazon probably saves me more often than not.
