Subscribe & Save is Amazon’s program that allows you to sign up for recurring deliveries on products that you regularly use. Offering these items at a discounted price if you set up a subscription, through this you can save both time and money.
How to set up Subscribe & Save on Amazon
It’s easy to set up an Amazon Subscribe & Save subscription. Search for the item you are looking for and if it is eligible, an option to ‘Subscribe & Save’ will be there.

You’ll then be able to review your order details and once happy, choose ‘sign up and buy first delivery’.
To pay for a subscription you can use either a credit card, debit card, or gift card.
Amazon makes it easy to keep track of your subscriptions, emailing you every time your next shipment is being processed so you have time to make any necessary changes.
Some products may be subject to quantity limits but if so, this will be flagged before you confirm your subscription.

With Subscribe & Save offering discounted prices, these will only be applicable at the time your order is processed, which will be detailed in your order confirmation. If the price of the item changes, the amount you are being charged may also increase or decrease, and if there are temporary special offers, these will only apply on the dates that they are running. Amazon has the right to change the price at any time.
In regards to delivery costs, in the UK and Ireland you get free standard delivery on Subscribe & Save orders. However, if you aren’t a Prime member a shipping charge may apply if the first order is below the free shipping amount. You can find details on delivery costs on the product page.
