Tide 50 oz. $4.09-$4.69 shipped

Amazon has got a great deal on Tide detergent. When you stack a $2.00 coupon with a Subscribe & Save discount, you'll wind up paying $4.09-$4.69 for a 50 oz. bottle.   Here's how.

1. Click over here and "clip" this $2.00 coupon.
2. You then have your choice of any of these items:
• Tide Original Scent HE, two 50 oz. bottles, $11.98
• Tide Free & Gentle HE Unscented, two 50 oz. bottles, $11.97
• Tide Original Scent non-HE, two 50 oz. bottles, $11.98
3. With the regular Subscribe & Save discount of 5%, these drop to $11.37 or $11.38.
4. With the $2.00 coupon, these drop to $9.37 or $9.38.   That comes to $4.69 per 50 oz. bottle.
5. Shipping is free (even without a Prime account) because it's Subscribe & Save.

Just a word about Amazon Subscribe & Save: selecting Subscribe & Save is a fantastic way to save money.  It's pretty much risk-free, even if you are doing it just to get the 5% discount. You can UNsubscribe to Subscribe & Save very easily, by going to your account as soon as your order has shipped. Even if (worse case scenario) you completely forget to unsubscribe, Amazon will not send out an additional order without shooting you a warning email first, giving you ample time to unsubscribe and cancel any additional orders in time. It's pretty much an all-win proposition. Shipping on Subscribe & Save items is always free, even without a Prime membership.

And as you probably know by now, while Amazon Subscribe & Save is a program that saves you 5% whenever you order, if you receive more than five orders in one month, that percentage gets bumped up to 15%.  (If you are a member of Amazon Mom, that percentage goes up even further to 20%.)  So each month, I try to get to that five-order minimum, through a combination of larger orders that I really need, supplemented by orders of things I could use that are very low-cost (say, under $5.00).  I set my Subscribe & Save date to the 30th of the month, so that I have until the 21st to change or delete my Subscribe & Save orders.

If you manage to hit that five-Subscribe&Save-orders-in-one-month sweet spot including this order, the price on this will drop to $8.18 for the 2-bottle package, or $4.09 per 50 oz. bottle.
