Amazon Subscribe & Save Program

I recently discovered that Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program is not a savings in the long run! For example, I started out in May 2022 by paying $10.66 for a NON GMO 2 pound bag of walnut pieces and 1 1/2 years later, the same bag in the “Savings program” cost me $16.90.  That is a steep price increase and when I checked to see what the bag would cost without the Subscribe & Save, it was $12.52.

Bottom line here is that you can save money initially with the Subscribe & Save program, but you have to keep checking for price hikes each month to see if the product is cheaper outside of the program.  If you can obtain it for less, don’t forget to cancel your subscription before the autoship date.

 

Benefits of Steel Wool

Benefits of Steel Wool

Steel wool pads are absolutely one of my favorite things in our house…a real must have item!  These are such a tremendous benefit when cleaning various things.

Steel wool can help to:

  • Get stubborn food or stains off steel or porcelain cookware.
  • Remove soap scum in a fiberglass shower and in a porcelain sink.

When using a pad, make sure you wear gloves to protect your hands from getting beat up.

Happy cleaning!
