Hey guys…. So, a couple of months ago I shared a post on how to get amazing deals on snacks, baking supplies, household goods, etc – by using the Amazon Prime Pantry stock-up deals, sales and coupons, and the extra bonus coupon they had at the time. It was, by far, one of my most popular posts in a long time! So, when I came across this rocking deal on using Amazon to save a ton of money on food, treats, and supplies for your pets, too – I knew I should share with ya. ;)
So I did a pretty sloppy job of covering up my personal address, I know. And I don’t really care… if y’all want to send me stuff in the mail, or show up for tea, I’m cool with that, lol. Anyway – this shows you the coupon deal, which is super great! If you spend $40 or more on selected pet items, they’ll take a big ol’ $10 right off of your purchase. Amazon prices are already really good – I shop around quite a bit in town for pet food, and everything I wanted on Amazon was slightly lower than what I pay in town. I also found a few really sweet sales. And then when you take the $10 off? Serious savings.
This is my first shipment, that I got last week. The deal is STILL going on, so I stocked up again and bought another big box that’ll be here soon. To give you an idea of savings… In town, buying cat food cans, Friskies is their fave, I average about .55 cents per can, whether I buy it per can at the grocery store, or in bulk. Here’s what I bought at Amazon:
- Friskies Party Mix, the big container. {Side note: Do you see that cat’s face?? Like… what type of party is he having with those treats, man? Lol.} My big cat is obsessed with these, so she is pleased now. Or, at least as pleased as a grumpy feline can be. $7.97.
- Purina Friskies Canned Wet Cat Food – 40 ct. Variety Pack, $20.48.
- Purina Friskies Gravy Wet Cat Food Variety Pack, Extra Gravy Chunky – regularly $13.99, but right now you save $1.27, and it’s $12.72 for 24 cans.
So, this isn’t the order shown in the screenshot above, that’s the order I just put in today. I’ll share that too, in a sec. So, on this order the total for the cat food comes out to .51 cents per can, cheaper than even the best deals I find in town – but then once you add the big container of treats so that it’s over $40, and gets the $10 off – they’re way cheaper! Score, right? And here’s what I ordered today:
- Purina Tidy Cats Lightweight 4-in-1 Strength Clumping Cat Litter – Normally $9.99, now $8.73.
- 9Lives Paté Favorites Wet Cat Food Variety Pack, 12 pack – Normally $7.56, save 48%! So it’s only $3.90. That’s a steal.
- Purina Friskies Gravy Swirlers Adult Dry Cat Food – I got the small size, so it was $3.94.
- Purina Friskies Wet Cat Food Variety Pack, Fish-A-Licious Shreds, 32 cans – Normally $18.50, save 10% so it’s $16.62.
- Purina ONE Tender Selects Blend Adult Dry Cat Food – 3.5 lb bag, salmon flavored. My cats seem to prefer to devour seafood stuff, which is the absolute opposite of me. Ha. This is normally $8.49, save 13% so it’s $7.40.
So – all really great deals on brands and varieties that I already use, and then take another $10 off the total again! Whoo.
Now, a few tips on saving money on pet food at Amazon:
Here’s the selection to choose from: Save $10 When You Spend $40. This is a limited time deal, I have no idea how much longer it will last. I chose a few items I knew I needed – then, to get right close to that $40 mark, I used the search function at the top to “Sort By” price low-to-high. There are small treats, toys, etc. in the under $5 range.
Next, on each item’s page, some of them automatically go to the “subscribe and save” option. If you do that, you sometimes can save a couple bucks, but it won’t work with the coupon. So be sure to click the one time purchase button, before adding to cart.
Do you use the Honey app? I kept hearing about it forever, especially those promoted posts on Facebook. I never signed up, I just didn’t “get it” I guess? But it is SO cool. There are a million uses – I’m sure I’m missing loads, so feel free to give me tips in the comments. But what I did so far is add it to my Chrome toolbar. So the little icon is there, and every time I shop online, I will click it at checkout to see if it can find a better coupon code than what I have. And often, it does! You can use it with Ebates {now called Rakuten} sometimes, but not always. It’ll tell you if you can’t use both. Anyway – it works awesome with Amazon. Everything that’s in my cart, Honey will keep an eye on it, and every day I get email updates if prices dropped on stuff I want. So.freaking.cool. It also shows a little icon when you’re shopping on Amazon, to tell you if there’s a better deal on that same item from another seller. Sign up here to check it out totally free: Join Honey.
And, speaking of Ebates/Rakuten – did you know that it lets you earn cash back on some of your Amazon purchases?? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT?? Lol. I’ve used them for yeeaaaaars. But only recently realized this. Because I have that in my toolbar too, so it automatically reminds me anytime I’m checking out somewhere, and asks if I want to activate cash back. It doesn’t do that on Amazon. You have to go to Ebates first, then click through. You don’t earn cash back on pet food – but there are a ton of categories that you DO earn with – I’ve been buying clothing on Amazon more often, and you earn on almost all of that. Def worth signing up. Join Ebates here.
I hope you find these helpful and stock up on deals too!
