Now every Thursday we bring you a thrifty tip from financial expert Alan Akina. This morning he checks out Amazon.com.
Good morning, gang. If you don't have much money or time, then today's Thrifty Thursday tip is just for you. Last week I showed you how to save on groceries by shopping on Amazon.com. Today I'll show you how to boost your savings by 15% simply by using Amazon's Subscribe and Save program. When you go to Amazon.com and click on the Subscribe and Save tab, you will see tons of everyday products and groceries available. Pick the items you will use on a consistent basis and then place your order. So let's say, for example, you know your family will eat one box of Raisin Bran a week, so you put a 4-pack on order with the frequency of one month. That will bring the cost down, and each month you receive your order at your door. You can cancel at any time, control the frequency of each order. There's no obligation, and each order qualifies for free shipping. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. See you on Monday. Wake up today.
