I finally took the plunge and placed my first big Amazon Subscribe & Save order. My goal was to find five products that my family regularly uses or needs right now that we offered at a good price so I could get the full 20% off (you get 20% off your entire Sub & Save order when you have 5+ items arriving in the same month, otherwise it’s 5% off). I also wanted to take advantage of Amazon’s current Buy 3, Get 1 FREE Back-to-School Essentials sale.
Here’s what I added to my August Sub & Save order:
Quilted Northern Ultra Plush Bath Tissue, 48 Double Rolls — $20.35 after 20% off Sub & Save discount
*I bought 4 cases so I could take advantage of the Buy 3, Get 1 FREE Back-to-School Essentials sale. Comes to 31¢ per double roll.
Sparkle Paper Towels, 24 Giant Rolls — 22.09 after 20% off Sub & Save discount
Angel Soft, Double Rolls, 48 Double Rolls — $18.68 after 20% off Sub & Save discount
*I bought 1 case of Angel Soft and 3 cases of Sparkle Paper Towels so I could take advantage of the Buy 3, Get 1 FREE Back-to-School Essentials sale. For some reason, Amazon only allowed me to get 3 cases of the Sparkle, so I had to find something comparably priced to get for free.
Kleenex Facial Tissue, 36 boxes — $24.68 after $5 off coupon and 20% off Sub & Save discount
CoverGirl Cheekers Blush — $1.96 after 50¢ off coupon and 20% off Sub & Save discount
Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge, 21 Count — $11.38 after 20% off Sub & Save discount
We don’t typically go through so much paper in our house, but our school supply lists require tons of paper towels and boxes of Kleenex. I’ll store the rest and be set for almost a year. We’ll obviously have no problem going through the toilet paper, and 31¢ per double roll is definitely a stock-up price for me. The blush is a cheap filler I used to get my order up to 5 to get the full 20% off.
The weird thing about Subscribe & Save deals is that you need to order 5 different items to get the 20% off, so my purchase of 4 cases of Quilted Northern only counted as one Subscribe & Save order.
My order is set to ship on August 21 — I can’t wait to show all of you my first order. Now I just need to find space to store all this toilet paper!

Thank you for that tip, Tracy! I wasn’t sure if that would work…so I ordered 2 different kinds of wipes.
Angela, I just did my first order of 5 items this month too…and they arrived in a HUGE box, which my children have had a ball with. 🙂 I got diapers, 2 boxes of wipes, Scott paper towels, Ziplock storage bags (cheap, useful filler) and Lysol wipes.
…and I haven’t been on here much lately…did you guys give up on cloth tp???
If you order the items on subscribe and save individually they count as one item each. Just order 1 case of toilet paper 5 times. I do that when I can’t find filler items!! Boxes of Lipton tea are great cheap filler items too. One more great discount item is k-cups, coffee, tea, and hot coca.
