In Clark’s article, “20 Ways to Save on Amazon”, Clark said, “Once you set up Subscribe & Save, you’re not shopping anymore, and Amazon’s got you.”
That’s not true.
As soon as your initial order has arrived, you can cancel the “Subscribe & Save” option before you even get your next order.
I agree Pegasus. It will notify you to review your purchases, it will tell you if the price is increasing. You can spend a few minutes to see if you can find a cheaper price and then you are done. You can skip an individual item if you aren’t using it as quickly as you thought you would. I have been buying coffee lately, the price is 2/3 the price in the stores and it is delivered to my door.
