How to Cancel Amazon Subscribe & Save (2026 Guide) — Stop the Auto-Deliveries

Updated 2026-02-15 · 4 min read

Amazon Subscribe & Save sounds great — save 5-15% on recurring orders of household items. But many people end up with a garage full of paper towels, 47 boxes of cereal, and vitamins expiring on the shelf. The auto-delivery is easy to set up and easy to forget. Here's how to cancel individual items or everything at once.

How to Cancel Subscribe & Save Items

1. Go to Amazon Subscribe & Save Manager
2. You'll see all your active subscriptions
3. Click Cancel subscription next to each item you want to stop
4. To cancel everything: go through each item one by one (there's no "cancel all" button)
5. Confirm each cancellation

Skip a Delivery Instead

If you don't want to cancel entirely, you can skip individual deliveries. In the Subscribe & Save manager, click "Skip" next to any item before the delivery date. You can also change the delivery frequency from monthly to every 2, 3, or 6 months.

The Subscribe & Save Audit

Go through your subscriptions and ask for each one:

• Am I actually using this at the delivery rate? If you have 3 unopened boxes of the same item, your frequency is too high
• Is the Subscribe & Save price actually the best? Check Costco, Target, and store brands — the 5-15% discount often still costs more than alternatives
• Do I need this at all? Vitamins you don't take, supplements you forgot about, snacks you no longer eat
• What's my total monthly spend? Add up all your subscriptions — the total is almost always shocking

Common Subscribe & Save Items People Forget About

• Vitamins and supplements (often stopped taking them months ago)
• Pet food (after a pet passes away or changes food)
• Baby products (after kids outgrow them)
• Coffee pods (switched to a different brand or method)
• Protein powder (New Year's resolution faded)
• Cleaning supplies (accumulated faster than used)
