Subscribe & Save is a new option being offered by Amazon, and it's a way to get you to spend more money up front. Just a week after the release of Kindle, Amazon is enticing you with free shipping and discounts if you sign up for a year-long subscription, you'll get regular household and grocery items delivered to you on a regular basis. Depending on the product, you can set up a schedule for deliveries.
[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]So instead of waiting until your halfway through that last roll of toilet paper, Amazon can send it out to you and you don't have to give it a second thought. Convenient, right? And I suppose its major competitor would be Peapod in terms of online shipping, and Sam's Club in terms of bulk items. Many have tried this method for offering Internet-savvy consumers an alternative to the laborious chore of trekking to the grocery store and doing their own shopping.
But with Amazon's track record and widespread appeal, this new program really could draw a lot of supporters from users out there. I wouldn't depend on it for all my grocery needs, but the potential of these automated systems are the joyous byproducts of e-commerce, and I think this new offering will be popular with regular Amazon shoppers.
