Get free shipping and 15% off with Amazon.com Subcribe & Save

File under "I wish this existed when I had threee kids in diapers."

I cannot tell you how many times I've gone to Costco or Target just for diapers and ended up with a car full of other stuff that I didn't need. Just as often there hasn't been time to go all the way to a big box store and I end up spending a lot more for diapers at the local grocery store. And don't even get me started on how many nights I've found myself lying in bed wondering if I had enough diapers in the house to make it through the morning.

All my worries are over. Or at least those particular worries are.

I have no idea how long this has been around, but I just found out about Amazon's Subscribe & Save program. If you're buying diapers from Amazon, or any other products in the program you'll see a little box on the right that says Save 15% with Subscribe & Save.

Here's what you get:

• Amazon automatically delivers this item and charges your credit card every month, every other month, etc. (you choose the frequency)
• 15% off every order (this is in addition to whatever general discount they give.)
• Free shipping (most of these items don't normally qualify for free shipping.)
• There's no subscription fee.
• You can cancel anytime through your account page.

I signed up for regular shipments of diapers (and promised myself this wouldn't discourage me from potty training Milo & Huck) and semi-regular shipments of Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent.

Now all I have to do is remember to cancel the diapers when the boys no longer need them. Judging by how easy it's been to get them to do anything I've wanted them to do so far in their lives, that should be somewhere around 2012.

Update: I ordered these items on the morning of March 6th, and they arrived at noon on March 7th. And did I mention that shipping was free?

Kudos to Amazon! I know how difficult it was to get out with a three year old and an infant, adding a third child makes it much harder.

Thanks for the link to the laundry detergent. I have numerous allergies, and have two brands that I can use (liquid only), but sometimes manufactures make minute changes to their formulas that result in rashes from the old tried and true. I'm tagging that one, since it sounds like it'll work. :)

Here's another way to save money on ink and toner and to help save the environment. If we print we then need to purchase ink so why not do it in a way that will benefit the environment, and it is easy.
First the idea of common sense is false because it is based on a person's life experiences, education etc. Now recently I came accross information through a business customer and looked further into it. Here is what I found, "
Over 700 million cartridges were thrown away world-wide in 2003 - and since more and more people use inkjet cartridges this amount will continue to grow year after year.
Empty cartridges contain residual toner powder, ink, a plastic casing, aluminum and other parts. These parts are all non-biodegradable and they will take more than 1000 years to decompose in landfill sites.
The remanufacturing of cartridges as an alternative to producing new ones currently reduces world demand of oil by 300,000 barrels and saves 17,000 tons of aluminum as well as 10,000,000 tons of timber. Besides helping to reduce carbon emissions, a major cause of global warming, it conserves resources and reduces waste.
1.5 pints of crude oil are needed to produce one cartridge. In the last 6 months alone inkjet cartridge recycling has saved more than 50 million liters of oil, more than the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989."
Wow, so my whole point is this client twotonellc.com remanufacturers ink and toner cartridges and considering the above information it only makes common sense to buy remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. You save money, get a higher yield (more prints) and save environment.
