amazon is drastically reducing my trips to Costco, Rona, Crappy Tire, Shoppers etc
It took awhile to get setup, but now I have many basic items on a subscribe & save rotation. At the end of the month when I pay my visas, I check that my subscribe & save has 5 items I'll need to get the 15% discount. Sure there might be some loss leaders in the weekly flyers or extreme coupon tactics but for these mundane small ticket items I can't be bothered and amazon is consistently priced lower on average. It's also very convenient as it reduces the amount of stores I need to visit and the amount of groceries I need to bag and haul home.
Personal items I would normally buy at a pharmacy or grocery store: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant etc
Household items: Cleaning supplies, detergents, paper towels, sponges, brushes, air fresheners, dusters etc
Groceries: Non perishable food items, usually better quality and/or lower priced than the grocery store options
Some higher quality items I discovered at Costco that would lure me back there I have found on amazon and now I haven't been to Costco in a long time. Costco always took time, gas, crowded and I would end up spending $$$ on impulse items and larger portions than I need. My grocery shopping is now streamlined to perimeter shopping for fruits, veggies, meat, dairy, coffee etc and I can avoid all the aisles of flashy sales, bonus airmiles, senior citizens and crying babies. Less time is wasted trying to figure out which option is the better value this week.
So what are your amazon subscribe & save finds?
