How to Cancel Amazon Fresh in 2026 (Stop Grocery Deliveries + Save on Prime)
Updated 2026-03-03 · 5 min read
🛒 Amazon Fresh Isn't a Separate Subscription
Amazon Fresh is a feature of Amazon Prime ($14.99/month or $139/year), not a standalone subscription. You don't "cancel Fresh" separately — you either stop using it, cancel Prime entirely, or manage your delivery settings. There's also a per-order service fee now.
Amazon Fresh Fee Structure (2026)
Orders over $150: Free delivery for Prime members
Orders $100-$149.99: $3.95 delivery fee
Orders $50-$99.99: $6.95 delivery fee
Orders under $50: $9.95 delivery fee
Service fee: Additional fee on all orders (varies by location)
Tips: Optional but expected ($5 default suggested)
Turn off Subscribe & Save items: Account → Subscribe & Save → manage or cancel individual items
Remove payment method from Fresh: Not needed — Fresh uses your default Amazon payment
Stop using Fresh: Simply don't place orders. There's no recurring charge for Fresh itself.
Cancel Amazon Subscribe & Save (Recurring Groceries)
If you have recurring grocery deliveries through Subscribe & Save:
Go to amazon.com/subscribe-save or Amazon app → Account → Subscribe & Save
View all active subscriptions
Click Skip (delay one delivery) or Cancel subscription for each item
You can cancel individual items without affecting others
Tip: Canceling drops your Subscribe & Save discount from 15% to 5% on remaining items if you fall below 5 subscriptions in a delivery
Cancel Amazon Prime Entirely
If you want to stop all Amazon subscriptions including Fresh access:
Go to amazon.com/prime
Click Manage Membership
Click End Membership
Amazon will show 3 screens trying to keep you — keep clicking through
Choose: end immediately (partial refund if unused) or end at period's end
You lose: Prime Video, Prime Music, free 2-day shipping, Fresh access, Prime Reading, and all other Prime benefits
💸 The Real Cost of Amazon Fresh
A typical Amazon Fresh order: $80 groceries + $6.95 delivery + $5 tip + service fee = ~$95+. The same groceries at your local store: ~$65-$75. Fresh prices are often 10-20% higher than in-store. You're paying a significant premium for convenience — $100-$200/month more than shopping in person.
Cheaper Grocery Delivery Alternatives
Walmart+ ($12.99/month): Free grocery delivery on $35+ orders, in-store prices (usually cheaper than Amazon Fresh)
Instacart ($9.99/month for Instacart+): Free delivery on $35+ orders from multiple stores — Costco, Aldi, Kroger, etc.
Store pickup (free): Walmart, Target, Kroger, and most grocery chains offer free curbside pickup — same prices as in-store, $0 delivery fee, $0 tip
Aldi: Cheapest grocery prices, now offers delivery via Instacart in many areas
💰 Biggest Savings: Curbside Pickup
Free curbside pickup at Walmart, Target, or your local grocery store gives you in-store prices with zero delivery fees and zero tips. Order on the app, pull up, they load your car. It's the best of both worlds — convenience of online ordering with in-store pricing.
Is Prime Still Worth It Without Fresh?
Prime Video alone: Comparable to $8.99 Netflix or $7.99 Disney+. If you watch Prime Video regularly, it's a solid streaming value.
Free 2-day shipping: Worth it if you order 3+ items/month from Amazon
Break-even: At $14.99/month ($180/year), you need to use at least 2-3 Prime benefits regularly for it to make financial sense
Student Prime: $7.49/month — much better deal if you qualify
Bottom line: You don't need to "cancel" Amazon Fresh — just stop ordering. The real question is whether Prime itself ($180/year) is worth it. If Fresh was your main reason for Prime and you're tired of the fees and price markup, Walmart+ or free curbside pickup will save you significantly more.
