Subscriptions That Actually Save You Money (Yes, You Read That Right!)

Subscriptions are something that financial gurus tell us that we should avoid because they eat into our quality of life. Companies love getting people on subscription because they know that they will continue paying month after month automatically, without being prompted.

But can subscriptions actually save you money? Well yes as it happens. Here’s how:

Shaving Products

Harry’s Razors and Dollar Shave Club both totally transformed the shaving market for men. Instead of paying inflated prices for the main brands, a lot of men decided to simply opt for a subscription instead, saving them a fortune. What’s more, in this case, signing up for a subscription makes sense. Men are always going to have to shave.

Now similar offers are available for women. You don’t have to pay mainstream prices if you don’t want to.

Energy

Yes, we get it: you already pay your energy bills monthly, so it’s like a subscription anyway. But there are actually better options.

For instance, there’s a solar provider you can use that will send you cheaper electricity than you’re using now. Those interested can sign up here. The reason it costs less is because its electricity comes from sunlight, not expensive fossil fuels. And so that naturally brings the price down.

Personal Care Boxes

Imagine being able to get all your personal care items delivered monthly instead of paying high prices at the store. Well that’s the concept behind brands like The Honest Company. They’ve begun offering customers boxes full of various essentials, including health and wellness products, baby formula, diapers, wipes, and cleaning essentials.

Coffee

If you’re the sort of person who needs a morning cup of Joe to see them through the day, you’ll love coffee subscriptions.

The way they work is pretty straightforward. You pay a monthly subscription and then the vendor will send you discount roasted coffee pouches that would usually cost a fortune at the store.

Why so cheap? Because they can make them in bulk.

You can also get similar services for tea as well, if that’s your bag. Get it? Bag?

Delivery Savers

If you regularly order products from online retailers and don’t want to spend big bucks on delivery chargers, then signing up for subscriptions can cut your costs tremendously as well.

The most famous example is Amazon Prime but there are many others. Plus, they also come with a bunch of perks, like streaming services, that let you cut your other subscription payments. Sorry Netflix.

Workout Clothes

Do you do a lot of working out? If so, then you might want to sign up for a workout clothes subscription.

The idea here is pretty simple. Gym kits wear out all the time. All that sweat and rubbing isn’t good for them. So every few months you need to replace them.

You could go to the store. But it’s much more efficient paying a subscription service to send you what you need instead. This way, you can keep the price low and the convenience high. And you can avoid paying inflated prices for brand logos.
