HALF-PRICE: Kleenex Hand Towels for $1.53 per box on Amazon

I got very into these Kleenex hand towels over last Succos. We had many guests and there were so many bugs going around the neighborhood, I just didn't want to be using shared hand towels, and these were terrific. (They normally go for about $3.00 per box and higher.)

Amazon has got this 6-pack of Kleenex hand towels 60-count for as low as $1.53 per box shipped with their Subscribe & Save pricing, which is the lowest recorded Amazon price on this 6-pack.

First, "clip" the $1.00 coupon here. Then, here's how the Subscribe & Save discounts stack with the $1.50 coupon:

$10.15 - $1.00 coupon = $9.15 ($1.53 per box) with the 15% Subscribe & Save discount (if you can take delivery of 5 or more active subscriptions in one month)
$11.34 - $1.00 coupon = $10.34 ($1.72 per box) with the 5% Subscribe & Save discount

If you're unfamiliar with Subscribe & Save deals, or would just like a few tips on how best to use the Subscribe & Save program, read my shpiel on Subscribe & Save strategies here.

Remember that you don't need to be a member of Amazon Prime to get free shipping on ANY Amazon Subscribe & Save deal...shipping is free for anyone.

Well we tried. And we failed. (For now.)

A few weeks ago, I decided to try to bring a bit of different technology that everyone seems to be using into the Daily Cheapskate mix. I opened a Daily Cheapskate What's App group. No good deed goes unpunished, and slowly but surely, spammers started to infiltrate the group. I racked my brains trying to figure out how to keep them out, but they kept getting in. I need to speak to a What's App developer and find a solution. Until then, the Daily Cheapskate What's App group is officially closed. You can always keep in touch with Daily Cheapskate with our Facebook group, our Twitter feed, our Pinterest page, and our daily mailing list.

Today the group got hit with a particularly disgusting piece of spam. I'd like to apologize to everyone in the group who had the misfortune of seeing that on their phone before I got to it.

Sorry guys. I tried. I failed. But I'll keep trying.

If you've subscribed to either Daily Cheapskate Whats App group, please leave the group. If I start the party up again, it will be with a completely new group.
