About 10 days before the end of the month, my husband and I scroll through our Amazon Subscribe and Save subscriptions list. We usually pare down the list, often for items we added previously on a one-time deal. Then, we have the fun of shopping for temporary monthly coupon deals on Amazon that we couldn’t find elsewhere. We are often able to combine up to 3 different discounts on Amazon to get the best deal possible, shipped free to our door.
Here are some things we scored this week in our shopping for the February 1 Subscribe and Save delivery. We bought $62.61 worth of items for $38.39 (a 39{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} overall discount).
- Zico coconut water – I picked up 12 x 14 oz. bottles of Zico for $15.57 (retail before discounts was $25.31, so 38.5{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} discount). $1.29 per bottle is a bargain compared to the $2.50+ per bottle I usually see in grocery stores. The same 20{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} off coupon applies to different Zico sizes and flavors, too, so you can shop for your preferred Zico. I like the plastic bottles because they make sipping some before and after a workout easier without worrying about spilling.
- Pistachios. I picked up a pound of them combining the $3 coupon with Subscribe and Save to get a price of $6.34 (almost 45{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} off the $11.49 price).
- Garden of Life organic gluten free sprouted brown rice protein powder – As I mentioned in a recent protein-themed post, most of my protein intake is from organically and naturally raised animals, but I do use protein powders, particularly in cases where it means I would not otherwise get enough protein owing to time constraints or other circumstances. Because I try to refuel conscientiously to allow my muscles to recover, I would rather get some good quality protein powder after a workout if my alternative is not eating any protein! As vegetable-based protein powders go, Garden of Life looks like a solid choice. I am trying this for the first time as it is 33{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} cheaper per gram of protein than my usual protein powder choice. I got a $25.81 jar for $16.48, a 36{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} discount off the Amazon price.
Here is how to combine the limited-time January coupons with Subscribe and Save to maximize your discounts:
- Make sure your coupon is clipped for the specific size/flavor of item you’ve chosen! Coupons will be for a percentage off or for dollars ($) off. You can clip the coupon on the coupon products page OR on the page of the item itself.
- Chose the “Subscribe and Save” option instead of the “Add to Cart” single purchase option. You can cancel your Subscribe and Save subscription at any time.
- If you have at least 5 Subscribe and Save subscriptions for the month of February, then your total discount off all items on your subscription list will be 20{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} off.
- Verify before clicking the final subscribe confirmation that you are receiving BOTH your coupon discount and your maximum Subscribe and Save discount.
