Have I Mentioned That I Love Amazon?

My intentions for the blog are to mostly keep my entries about all things local and all things KC. However, this is just one of those things that I have to share. I tell pretty much every other mother that I encounter about my love for Amazon and not JUST Amazon but the Subscribe & Save program. If you children in diapers and you have not at least comparison shopped this deal, you are missing out!

Why I love Subscribe & Save (from here on referred to as "S&S"):

www.amazon.com/mom

• If you take the time and compare the prices on a few of the S&S items against what you pay at either WM or Target, I swear you will see that there is a savings

• If it is even just a few cents, look at it like this, you save the trip to the store to pick up that "one thing you need at WM" not to mention saving money on the 10 other things you leave with that you realized you needed as you pass them by on the way to check out!

• You get FREE TWO DAY SHIPPING on all of your S&S orders. Not to mention 3 months of free two day shipping on all Prime Eligible purchases. Let me tell you, THIS IS AWESOME! I buy TONS of stuff on Amazon. I buy toys for most of the birthday parties that we get invited to and you have a unique gift. There is a bigger selection on Amazon and it is likely that all of the other guests hit up the toy isles of Target and WM at the last minute and there are usually duplicate gifts. So, not only do I likely have a unique gift but I didn't have to make a last minute trip to the store nor did I have to pay to have it shipped. I also use that feature to send birthday gifts to friends. We are all busy now that we are grown-ups and we can't always get together to wish a happy birthday, but we can find something on Amazon, have it shipped directly to the recipient, and come off looking like the most AWESOME friend EVER! :)

• Signing up for AMAZON MOM is FREE

• Even if you set up a subscription to a product, you can cancel anytime. You DO NOT have to have a reoccurring debit come out of your account. Sometimes I just cancel the subscription as soon as I get my product. No big deal, no fee.

I really could go on and on about how much I love it but I strongly urge that you check it out for yourself. I am lazy and don't like getting out to the store and I am a huge fan of having what I need sent directly to me in a mere two days for free.

I also discovered another perk today. I was shopping on Wet Seal's website and when it was time to check out I had the option of checking out through my Amazon account as opposed to entering in my info on Wet Seal's site. So, since I get free shipping through Amazon Prime, the $5 shipping cost was taken off of my total! I was pretty excited about that! I also googled "Wet Seal Coupon Codes" and found one (OUTFIT0409) and it took $20 off my order! If you are not in the habit of searching for coupon codes when shopping online, you better get in the habit! Sometimes you find nothing but today I found $20! WINNING!
