This promotion has ended. It was fun while it lasted!
Amazon has a crazy awesome Buy 3, Get 1 FREE Back-to-School Essentials promotion running right now. This makes for especially great deals on household products. Start by checking out the list of qualifying items here to see what you need and/or use on a regular basis.
I just received my gigantic order and it looks like I won’t need to buy paper products for a very, very long time. A friend took one of the boxes of Angel Soft — this is the perfect deal to split with someone so you both can save! Note the Kleenex is not a part of the Buy 3, Get 1 FREE promotion.
You have two options when you order:
1. Select “One Time Purchase” which means you’re just straight up ordering the item(s) OR
2. Select “Subscribe & Save” which means you’re electing to get future shipments of the items at an interval of your choosing. You will get 5% off your order + FREE shipping or up to 20% off + FREE shipping if you order 5+ Subscribe & Save items to arrive in the same month AND you’re an Amazon Prime + Amazon Mom member (see if you’re eligible for a FREE 30-day trial of Amazon Mom here). Here’s the great thing: you can cancel any future Subscribe & Save(S&S) order on your account after the first order ships without obligation or penalty, so there’s absolutely no risk in selecting S&S. I always select the 6 month interval so I have plenty of time to cancel if I wish.
Here’s how to get the very best deal:
:: Buy 4 of the same items instead of purchasing 4 different ones. You’ll get the best discount that way. For instance, buy 4 packages of Quilted Northern Toilet Paper instead of say, 1 QN and 3 Lysol Disinfecting Wipes.
:: To get the full 20% off Subscribe & Save discount (remember, you also need to be an Amazon Prime + Amazon Mom member — if you’re not, your maximum discount will be 15% which is still a very, very good deal), order 4 of the same item and select Subscribe & Save. When you order, change the quantity from 1 to 4.
:: Place each Subscribe & Save order one at a time. Go through the entire checkout process and once you reach 5+ orders for the month your price will be adjusted for all of your orders for the month at 20% off. The 20% off will come off automatically when you have five orders scheduled to deliver and will come off at the time of shipment. You won’t pay full price.
Note that these deals are still excellent even if you don’t have the 5+ S&S orders.
So, if you want 4 packages of Quilted Northern and 4 packages of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes, do two separate transactions instead of both at once.
:: Once you’ve enrolled in the Subscribe & Save program, you will receive automatic shipments of that product from Amazon at intervals you set. You are under no obligation to continue your subscription once your initial order ships and you can easily cancel through the “Manage” option in “Your Account.”
I know this Subscribe & Save + Amazon Prime + Amazon Mom + 5 orders thing is confusing. I did my first big S&S order earlier this week — check out how I did it here. Hopefully it will help clarify how it works.

Angela Davis, curious…. You had done posts about going the “washable eco friendly TP” route for your family some time ago. Have you gone back to the more traditional paper product method?
I placed orders for the sparkle paper towels (4) and the angelsoft toilet paper (4) using the buy 3, get 1 free and subscribe and save. I was charged for all four of both batches. Contacted customer service and they said you are only supposed to be able to do one or the other promotion (subscribe and save OR buy 3, get 1), but not both. I told them I read the fine print forwards and backwards before placing the order and never came across any such limitation and they did honor the subscribe and save price and refunded me for the “4th” of each set. So, go for it, but just know you may need to call/email/chat to get both deals at once and you may be charged for the whole thing until they grand the refund…
How do these prices you listed compare to Costco prices? Better or same?
Better!
Do u guys get anything for advertising amazon prime???
Yes, we get affiliate commission from Amazon products and when readers sign up for the free trial.
I tried doing entering each order separately with S&S but the fourth didn’t total $0.00 although I received the 20% with 5+ S&S items… I then tried entering each in my cart and received the fourth free but no discount as I could not figure out how to designate as S&S…. Help! What am I doing wrong?
Which item are you trying to buy?
Lysol Disinfecting Wipes Value Pack, Lemon and Lime Blossom, 240 Count
When you do the subscribe and save for this item make sure that you subscribe and save 4 of that item then you will see a 5% discount + the free item. If you add 4 more S&S items you will get 15%. Contonell flushable wipes with my 15% discount are a great deal also. For example:
Wipes pack of 8, $14.99ea, X 4 = $59.96
Less 15% discount = ($8.99)
Less Free item = ($14.99)
Less Clipped Coupon = ($2.00)
Total = $33.98
Total Count = 8×4 = 32 packs
Total per pack = $1.06 (cheaper than Walmart)
Also, you can get a free item for each subscription of 4 items so the discount will apply more than once which you could do to get to your 5 S&S items.
The toilet paper we use in listed but it will only let me order 3 of them. Darn.
I heard they started to limit quantities. Is that the quilted northern? Try the purple one or blue if you’re already looking for purple.
The angel soft is coming up at 21.99 a package. When I add 4 to my cart I get 1 free and a 5% discount so it’s 61.57. Making it. 32 cents… Is that correct
If you don’t have 5 subscriptions or Amazon mom that sounds correct. You cannot place 5 Subscribe and Save orders at one time. But if you want to reach your 20% off discount – place one Subscribe and Save order at a time. Go through the order process at the higher price – when you reach 5+ orders for that month, it readjusts ALL your orders for the month to 20% off! Since you’re only charged when the items ship, you never pay the full price. You can double check this by looking at your orders placed. The 20% off comes off automatically when you have FIVE orders scheduled to deliver the next month. Orders and quantity are two different things – you want 5 different orders each with the quantity 4 so you get the FREE item on each order.
And this is what I get too. I don’t know have 5+ subscriptions so it makes it $.32 per roll which is still fantastic.
What is the promo code it’s asking for?
No promo code. It always has that box.
