If you’re interested only in the cheapest options shipped to your doorstep rather than items you’re likely to use which may cost a bit more, go here.
We all love cheap stuff on Amazon. To maximize your savings on Amazon subscriptions, ensure your subscription orders contain at least 5 items to reduce the overall Amazon subscriptions price by 5-30%. By picking items at an everyday low price (often on sale beyond their typical average price), while coupons or Amazon promo codes are offered, you can capture great deals on Amazon subscription items.
The easiest way to do this is to peruse the Amazon Subscriptions Filler list below when you need to fill out an Amazon subscriptions order. By selecting practically useful, cheap Amazon subscription items, you can save even more on your overall order and, often, throw an item or two into the order for free.
DEAL TIP
On the day you receive your monthly Amazon subscriptions shipment, allow its arrival to remind you to cancel each item you’ve subscribed to receive whose price isn’t as low as possible. Often your first offer is sweet but beyond that the price is higher.
On the last day you can change your subscription, Amazon sends you an email telling you your window to change your order is closing. Let that email remind you to add products to fill the 5 you need for the extra savings kicker. Many of the items you would’ve purchased are available with a 25% off coupon only if you’ve canceled that subscription after delivered the month prior. If you let it ride, you wouldn’t know the coupon is there.
While some items aren’t offered as Amazon subscriptions and availability may vary, keep checking back as they periodically come back in stock. If you see a third-party offering for these items, move on. They’re seldom a good Deal compared to the Amazon subscriptions.
Often, checking those boxes is the difference between killer savings and mediocre ones. Many of the items below are so cheap that as add-ons, they pay for themselves if they’re the last 1-2 items into an Amazon subscriptions and save order.
The following list is a mix of cheap Amazon items you can use as add-on fillers, and a few choice high value additions we like, to save a bit more and avoid paying shipping fees.
