Here’s a modern-day tragedy: You're about to brush your teeth before bed and realize—gasp—you’re fresh out of the toothpaste you swore you’d pick up on the way home. No backup tube. No time for a late-night drugstore run. Cue the regret.

Now imagine a world where your most-used items just show up at your door, right on time, every time, without you lifting a finger. Enter: the Amazon Subscribe & Save program, a completely optional, entirely genius service that lets you set your most-used items to ship on a schedule (every month, two months, six months—whatever works for you). No more frantic last-minute orders. No more pharmacy runs in your slippers. No more cutting open tubes of toothpaste to desperately scrape the last bits out. Just an effortless restock that magically appears when you need it.

Amazon Subscribe & Save is the adulting upgrade you didn’t know you needed. It’s easy to set up, saves you money, and spares you the mental load of remembering to reorder the stuff you always run out of—including budget-friendly everyday essentials from Amazon Basics. And when life gets busy (because it always does), having your shopping on autopilot feels like a small win worth celebrating. Here’s everything you need to know.

Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program lets you schedule automatic deliveries of eligible household staples—everything from vitamins and shampoo to moisturizer, cleaning supplies and diapers. You pick the products, choose how often you want them delivered, and they arrive on your doorstep like clockwork. Even better? It comes with built-in discounts that can add up over time.
