Amazon.com is a great way to save lots of money on thousands of items. To help you get the most bang for your buck, I've put together a how to sheet with even more ways to save, and get free shipping on items you buy on amazon.com.

Subscribe and Save is a subscription service that will automatically ship the products you purchase every 1, 2, 3, or 6 months. You can cancel Subscribe and Save at any time with no obligation.
Some people are a little intimidated by Subscribe and save, here is a tutorial to show you just how simple it can be! Keep your eye on the green arrows.
First, look for the
blue subscribe and save boxes. You can only use Subscribe & Save on these items on Amazon.
Next, select your quantity and how often you’d like it re-delivered automatically, and click on Subscribe Now.
Select your Shipping Address. Then after that you can enter your Credit Card Information. You can use your Amazon Credit or
Swagbucks, but the Credit Card information must be input for subsequent purchases that will be sent to you if you don’t cancel your order.
Now you will see the Subscription Discount, and the Free Shipping, from using the Subscribe and Save Option at this point. Also, you can see that my Amazon.com credit from
Swagbucks was applied to my order. (Learn more about how to get

Canceling your Subscribe and Save renewing order:
Just like your local shopping centers, sale prices don't last forever. Often when I post deals, I'll mention you can "cancel at anytime." I usually cancel my orders after the first delivery, its super simple just keep in mind a few tips. Just be sure you wait until your order has shipped to cancel the renewing subscription. Other than that there are no phone calls or sales people to deal with!
Go to Your Account
Click on “Manage Subscribe & Save Items”. Then just click on “Cancel Subscription”. It’s that easy! I wouldn’t do this if it required annoying up-sales people calling to try to get you not to cancel.
Subscribe and Save is such a great, free program for parents and caregivers!
