Which products work best as home subscriptions?

The subscriptions our editors actually pay for.

They're worth it: Subscriptions that will save you time and money Subscription brands promise convenience, but it's easy to end up with monthly charges for things you barely use. We asked our editorial team — people who spend their days researching health and wellness products — which subscriptions actually deliver on their promises. They weren't short of answers. Here are the services they say genuinely make life easier: 🚚 Grocery delivery: Marketing manager Victoria Torrez and her husband have always hated grocery shopping. But once they tried Instacart, their lives changed. "It has saved us so much time," she says. "It's also helped us save money since we are not buying random items not on our list!" 🍜 Meal kits: "Getting meal kits like Green Chef every week has been a real lifesaver in our home," says editor Alice Porter-McLaughlin. "Since becoming a parent, it's been difficult to find the time and energy to plan meals, buy groceries, and cook. Meal kits have cut out most of the work and given us some tasty new dishes to try." 🥗 Looking for a plant-based meal delivery option? Check out Purple Carrot. 🫧 Cleaning products: Editor Chelsea Logan recommends Blueland for plastic-free dishwasher tablets and hand soap. "I also like to put certain cleaning products and random household items on subscription — things I know I can't get in stores," she says. "I like that this keeps it somewhat separate from my grocery bill, preventing me from going to Target to run errands and then buying extra stuff I don't need." Subscriptions work best for the things you buy repeatedly and hate shopping for. From toilet paper to supplements, our team has found subscriptions that save time, money, and your valuable attention.
