household & pantry
Amazon Prime Student allows a 6-months free trial and then $49/year thereafter (compared to regular $99/year) for the projected amount of years you’ll be in school. Free unlimited photo storage and lots of tv/ movies are accessible as well! In this day and age, unlimited photo storage pays for itself and is easy to access via app or computer.
When shopping for things like gadgets (cell phone cases, sunscreen) I use Amazon Prime as a price point for everything. Any purchase with Amazon Prime has free shipping and returns, so I often shop for clothes (basic items - tops, jeans, jackets) or accessories (handbags) because I know I can return it if I don’t like it.
Also download the Amazon Prime app to your phone. You should receive a $5 credit off your first Amazon-fulfilled purchase for downloading the app. (email them if you don’t see the credit).
Make sure you use smile.amazonprime.com so a small percentage of your purchase gets donated to charity!
Contact solution delivered in 2 hours from order placing? Yes, please. Amazon Prime Now is loaded with daily deals. Use "10primenow" off your first Amazon Prime Now order.
Other ways to maximize your Amazon Prime account to the fullest! (including 20% off diaper subscriptions and account sharing)
No subscription fee. Free shipping on all orders over $35. Your first three orders are an additional 15% off. The more you buy within one order, the cheaper the prices get for all items in your cart. I LOVE Jet! I’ve found such great deals on vitamins and supplements as well as pantry items like bone broth or household items like rubbing alcohol. Shipping is 2 business days.
They give away so many coupons in the mail and via email that I don’t ever shop at Bed Bath without a coupon. (Usually via email is 20% off one-item.The mail will sometimes have a coupon for $5 off $15 or more)
Nothing wrong with shopping at the Dollar Tree for purchasing select name brand items like Reach dental floss and Dentyne chewing gum. Also great for miscellaneous items like rubbing alcohol, wite-out, bandages, $1 pregnancy tests, special occasion/holiday cards, thank you card sets and gift wrap/ribbon.
Daiso is the Asian version of Dollar Tree, but a lot cuter and with more appeal. Most things in Daiso are $1.50; if it’s higher, it will be indicated on a price tag sticker or the shelf it’s on. Some of the best finds at Daiso for me have been mops, brooms, washable laundry bags, netted kitchen sponges, glass containers for food, kitchen tongs, stationary, spatulas, hair clips.
Everything is $3 on Brandless.com! When you first subscribe, shipping on your first order is $1. Brandless has everything from household items to kitchen pantry items to vitamins/supplements, etc. They can offer lower prices since brands aren’t attaching their names to the product, therefore you don’t have to pay for branding/marketing! The cool thing about Brandless is that you can shop your values - organic, kosher, non-GMO, vegan to name a few.
