How much can you save with Amazon Subscribe & Save?

Amazon offers two core discounts when you choose the Subscribe & Save option:

• 5% off for subscribing to a single product on a recurring schedule.
• Up to 15% off when you receive five or more items in one monthly delivery
  • This is the real savings sweet spot. Your subscription “delivery day” groups orders so you hit the five‑item threshold—which applies the 15% discount to every eligible item.

Some categories, like baby items, occasionally offer even higher Subscribe & Save discounts during promotions or Prime events.
