Save at Amazon Grocery and Get Super-Fast Shipping

Amazon Grocery currently has 40 percent off a wide variety of items to fill your pantry. Simply use the code AUGMKDWN when you check out. (The sale is only on select items, and you must make your purchase by August 31). You can read the details here.

Don’t forget that orders over $25 will have free shipping. If you’re like me and live far from town, this deal may help you save some money. The key is to know unit prices so you can do a comparison. (You may find that you can do better locally with coupons, but you never know).

If you’re feeling impatient for your order to arrive, you can also sign up for a one-month free trial of Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime members get free two-day shipping (no minimum amount to spend), upgrade to overnight shipping for $3.99, and the ability to share the perk with three other members of your household. If you stay enrolled after the one-month free trial, the annual fee is $79.99… which is only a great deal if you live far from civilization and buy A LOT of stuff from Amazon on a regular basis.

I’m normally not a big fan of signing up for free trials, but my husband did opt to try this one awhile ago and it was easy to get out of it before the trial period was up. Just make sure you mark your calendar so you don’t forget, or you’ll get charged!
