Hooray Money Saving Lords & Ladies, due to your noble sharing, today I’m excited to give away another $50 Gift Card. Plenty of Lords & Ladies in the Court of the Queen of Free shared with enthusiasm their love for my Facebook page and we reached the milestone of over 7k fans. I think that means we should celebrate, don’t you?
Could I make a few suggestions of what you could buy with that gift card?

Or just think how many scarves, necklaces, or hair items you could order with that much money on Amazon?! Plus you know how much I love Amazon Subscribe & Save to purchase our household items. If I do it right, sometimes I can score a better deal online than I can in stores and with coupons. Typically I begin by scanning Amazon’s coupons (did you know that Amazon has coupons?!) for items that we routinely purchase. After clipping the coupons, I begin to scan which items are also Subscribe & Save items. Typically many of the most popular coupons are ones that can be paired with Subscribe & Save deals, because the deal bloggers have picked up the scent of the trail. Once I match a coupon to a Subscribe & Save deal, I click to subscribe. This will save you 5% off of the list price. I aim for five Subscribe & Save items because that will drop the price of each item by 15%. The discount will be reflected on all five after you meet the minimum. Each item beyond five will also be a 15% savings on list price. The items will ship once a month on an assigned date. After they ship, you want to be sure to cancel the subscription. Subscribe & Save prices are not locked in at the same rate each month, so you don’t want it to inadvertently ship at a much higher rate. Oh I just can’t wait to see which one of you wins! Enter using the Rafflecopter below. The Give Away closes 1/29/13 at 12 AM EST. You’ll have 24 hours to respond after winning so be sure to be watching your inbox and even check your SPAM.

I am a beginner to subscribe and save through Amazon! I received my first shipment of many items on the 20th. I saved 15% since I bundled up several items. I was so thrilled to just be able to have them delivered since one is three jugs of cat litter! Since I just had neck surgery in Jan. I have not been allowed to drive so…. Hubby has been doing shopping um grudging.. And funny how he always forgets cat litter… Poor babies.. Now all new and I saved money! Thank you for your emails, blogs, and all the coupon info! You deserve the praise! My wishes for another few thousand of readers! Congratulations!
