    1

    Find an eligible product

    ~18s
    Search for an item on Amazon that you buy repeatedly. On the product page, look for a box near the price that says "Subscribe & Save" with a discounted price shown, next to the regular "Buy Now" option. Not every product offers this — mostly household goods, groceries, and personal care items do.
    2

    Choose Subscribe & Save and set your delivery frequency

    ~31s
    Select the "Subscribe & Save" option instead of a one-time purchase. Choose how often you want it delivered — options are usually every 1, 2, 3, or 6 months. Pick a schedule that roughly matches how long the item actually lasts you, so you do not build up extra unused stock.

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: Start with a shorter interval like monthly. You can always stretch it out later if items are arriving faster than you use them. It is much easier to lengthen the gap than to guess right the first time.

    3

    Complete checkout like a normal order

    ~15s
    Confirm your payment method and delivery address just like any Amazon order. Your first delivery ships right away (or on the date you choose), and future deliveries repeat automatically on your set schedule.
    4

    Manage your subscriptions anytime

    ~16s
    Go to amazon.com and click "Accounts & Lists," then "Memberships & Subscriptions," then "Subscribe & Save." Here you see every active subscription. You can change quantity, change frequency, skip the next delivery, or cancel any single item — none of these actions affect your other subscriptions.
    5

    Get the bigger discount by combining subscriptions

    ~30s
    If you have five or more Subscribe & Save items scheduled to arrive in the same delivery month, Amazon automatically increases your discount from 5% to 15% on all of them for that month. Grouping a few regular purchases onto the same rough schedule can add up to real savings over a year.

    Warning

    Watch your email for Amazon's reminder before each shipment. If an item is no longer needed, skip or cancel it before it ships — once it ships, it works like a normal order and follows Amazon's regular return policy.

    Subscribe & Save is a free Amazon program that automatically reorders and ships items you use regularly, on a schedule you set, at a discount. It's usually 5% off, or 15% off if you get five or more Subscribe & Save items in the same month. There's no membership fee for the program itself, though Amazon Prime often adds free shipping on top.

    This works best for things you buy the same way every time: vitamins, coffee, laundry detergent, pet food, paper towels, or printer ink. You're never charged more than the normal price. You can change the delivery schedule, skip a delivery, or cancel anytime with no penalty or fee.

    This guide walks through setting up your first Subscribe & Save item and managing your subscriptions afterward.
