Is there anything more fun than the UPS man bringing big boxes of food to the door? Yes, probably. But cases of groceries on my porch make my day. Wanna see part of what we got this month in our Amazon subscribe and save order?
This time around, I got several different “grab-and-go” snacks to take with us to the soccer field. And yes, I even got a case of Annie’s mac and cheese. We love my homemade Creamy Mac and Cheese, but sometimes it’s nice to have the boxed stuff on hand for the boys to make when Matt and I aren’t around. I got it for super cheap, and the boys were really excited to find it in our boxes!
Are you wondering why I got a case of black tea? (800 tea bags, baby!) I’m going to get a batch of kombucha started, and have big plans to keep it going throughout the summer for a healthy, refreshing drink. I also ordered a scoby so I am all set! If you have no idea what I’m talking about (kombucha, scoby, what’s that?!) – never fear. I’ll take pictures and share more about it once I figure out what I’m doing. :)
I think we’re set on olives for a while. I couldn’t pass up the huge discount, plus I really like this brand. Opening a can of olives to help stretch a meal is always great!
I’m almost out of my home-canned tomato sauce, so I took advantage of the coupon offer at Amazon and bought a case of Natural Value brand to hold me over. It was a super deal! That rice was also an incredible price, and I figured it would be a fun change of pace.
I also ordered a few other items like toilet paper, which I didn’t figure needed to be featured with a picture. It’s toilet paper. What more do you need to know? But yay for a discount and for having a case of tp on hand, which was lovingly delivered to my door by my dear UPS man.
I took advantage of many of the coupon offers to go along with the 20% discount I got from Amazon Prime/Mom.
Want to learn more about using Amazon Prime and Subscribe and Save to get the greatest Amazon discounts? Read this post for more information. Also, always check in with our Amazon Deals page which I try to keep updated with the latest awesome deals at Amazon. Some of the items I talked about are still being offered at a great discount. Details here.
Did you (or will you) receive an Amazon Subscribe and Save order this month? What did you get? (It’s so much fun to talk about food…)
We use an herbal tea for our Kombucha and the adults and kids alike love it! And there really is nothing better than having good food delivered right to your door. :)
Did you actually order this scoby from Amazon? I’ve been thinking about ordering a scoby, but I wasn’t sure which company to order from. You can even order one through Azure Standard! I’ve been wanting to brew kombucha for a while, so I am very excited to read your posts. I can’t wait! :)
Yes, isn’t that amazing?!
Making kombucha is so easy and I love it. Be prepared to have lots of scobies to give away to friends, as they multiply quickly!
Laura, thanks for sharing all your wonderful finds at Amazon. I never would have thought to order food on subscribe and save if you hadn’t shared with us! After your post today, I went on Amazon, and found some exciting items. I happened across mason jars in blue and green (so cool!) and then solar-powered lighted lids for them! You can make night-lights out of your jars. Here they are: http://www.amazon.com/Colonial-Tin-Works-360315-Silver/dp/B0081S1RF0/ref=wl_mb_wl_huc_mrai_4_dp. Thought you might like to have fun with all your jars…
I love drinking my kombucha and have been making 2 gallons a week for a couple years, it’s so healthy, thirst quenching, not expensive, and simple to make. mmmmm
