Amazon subscribe and save

So, this is cool.

I'd heard of Amazon.com's subscribe and save service, but the last time I looked at it (for cloth diaper detergent) it didn't have much that I was interested in.  I hear their prices on diapers are amazing, but since I don't use them, I haven't looked into it.

I was cruising a bargain blog today, and a price caught my eye.  Shawn takes Omeprezole (Prilosec) twice a day, which gets kind of expensive.  The cheapest I can get it consistently is $19 for 42 tablets at Target, and once or twice I've found coupons for other store brands and paid $18 dollars.  This means $30 a month for his medication, and leaving it out of the budget isn't an option, for a lot of reasons that I won't go into (if anyone is actually reading this, you should thank me for not explaining.  Trust me.)

The Subscribe & Save price for name-brand Prilosec is $17.30, and you get $3 off your first purchase.  My plan is to order three, then set up my next order for six months from now, and see if the price drops before then, so I can get it cheaper. Still, the current price is fantastic, and shipping is free. 

I've been looking around the website for other deals, and found a pretty good price on toilet paper.  Sun liquid dish soap is a pretty good price, about 97 cents a bottle, but I usually wait until it drops below 90 cents to stock up.

This is kind of exciting.  Buying this sort of thing online means I get a great price, and I don't have to go to the store, which means I don't make impulse buys.  Win!
