Amazon Subscribe & Save: Good Items for College Students

I recently received a great question from a reader: “I’m new to Amazon Subscribe and Save but think it would be great for my daughter who will be going out of state to college. Have you ever considered doing a post listing ideas of Subscribe & Save items for college students?”

I absolutely think that Subscribe & Save is a good fit for college students and their parents! Whether students are paying for college and all of the necessary expenses themselves or whether their parents are pitching in, there are lots of great Subscribe & Save deals to be had at prices that often meet or beat area grocery stores. Plus, it’s super convenient, especially for students that may not have access to their own transportation to go to the store themselves.

And don’t forget, if you order 5 or more subscriptions to be delivered in the same month, you’ll receive 15% off your order instead of the usual 5% discount. Find out more about how Amazon Subscribe & Save works before you get started.

Don’t Forget About Amazon Student!

While you don’t need a Prime membership to use Subscribe & Save, I still recommend having your student look into an Amazon Student membership. It works just like a Prime membership, but at half the price. Benefits include free two-day shipping on millions of items, Amazon Prime Instant Video access, unlimited music streaming, and deals and promotions exclusively for students. Membership is just $49/year (the first six months are free).

Here are some of the best deals I see that can work for college students, keeping in mind that space is limited in those teeny-tiny dorm rooms:
