Subscription boxes are all the rage these days. From food, to clothes, to beauty supplies and even survival gear, there is a subscription box service for just about anything. If you have been considering signing up for one, there are definitely some benefits.
Here are 4 reasons you should sign up for subscription boxes:
- Discover new products at a lower price. The monthly cost of subscription boxes are typically relatively low. When a new product or food comes to your door each month, you don’t know whether or not you will like it, so it’s always a risk. If you don’t like it, you will know that you didn’t spend a fortune to learn that lesson.
- They are convenient. One of the best things about subscription boxes is their level of convenience. I mean, you don’t even have to order them monthly, they just magically show up on your doorstep. (Okay, I know it’s not actual magic, but seriously, after your initial order, there is virtually no work involved in receiving your box).
- You can spoil yourself on a monthly budget. When you have a subscription box service come to you monthly, it is almost like you are spoiling yourself each and every month. If you are subscribing to a service such as Ipsy, etc, you know that you are only paying out $10 a month. An amount that small will seem like a totally reasonable amount to spend on yourself monthly, whereas going out and buying yourself new makeup each and every month is going to be far more expensive than that.
- The make great gifts. Subscription boxes make an excellent gift for friends and loved ones. It’s a fresh new take on the “Jelly of the Month Club” (any Christmas Vacation fans out there?). Gifting someone with a subscription service is a great way to let someone know that you are thinking of them all year long.

I like the Wal-Mart subscription boxes. They come once a quarter and only cost $20 for shipping for the year. They are full of beauty supplies like makeup or lotions, deoderants, face wash or creams, etc. Sometimes they are full-sized products. Go to walmart.com and type in Beauty Box in the search bar.

Last Christmas I subscribed to a service called Off The Wall as a present to my husband. Only received two boxes then they went out of business. My mistake was prepaying for the year.
