6 Subscription Services Totally Worth the Money
There are subscriptions for everything. Literally everything. You can get whatever you want on your doorstep every month with just the click of a button. Want bacon at your door every month? It can happen. Drug paraphernalia? Yeah, that too. Equipment and gear in case of an apocalypse? Yes, even that. So with all of these random subscription items, it’s hard to know which products are actually worth their price. Here is a list of the subscription services that are a great bang for your buck:
For Women:
Ipsy - Listen, I don’t know a lot about makeup or beauty products, but I do know a good deal when I see one. That is exactly what Ipsy is. As a subscriber, you get 4-5 deluxe full size products and a makeup bag every month. At just $10 a month you get products that have a combined value of 3-4 times that much.
For Men:
Birchbox Man - Cologne, shaving cream and face wash are essential for men of all ages. Birchbox Man gives you these grooming items plus more every month. With Birchbox Man, you get to sample top shelf grooming products as well as one “lifestyle item” of your choosing, including belts, wallets or socks. This box goes for $20 per month while you get a value of twice that much.
For Kids:
Kiwi Crate - Need something to do on a random Sunday afternoon with your child? Need to find a way to entertain your son/daughter/cousin/niece/sibling? Kiwi Crate is the perfect product for just that. It provides arts and crafts activities for kids aged 3 to 7 years old. Each box has a specific theme, from “summer adventure” to “colorful inspiration,” that allows them to explore a variety of different topics. These boxes aim to bring out any child’s creativity and curiosity. These boxes go for $19.95 per month with a value of about twice that much.
Pets:
BarkBox - Dogs need a lot of attention and care. Barbox is here to show your dog some love. They customize their boxes depending on your dog’s size. In each box, your dog will get multiple toys, treats, and “chews.” For just $29 per month your dog will have absolutely no reason to bark or growl at you anymore which definitely makes it a worthy buy.
Food:
Love with Food - Snacking is the best. Everybody knows that. But unfortunately, it’s hard to live a healthy life when eating cookies and potato chips all day everyday. Love with Food helps you discover organic and healthy snacks. From asiago parmesan and cheddar popcorn to organic apple hard candy, you get to try out eight healthy and delicious snacks per month. Also for every box sold Love with Food will donate a meal to several food banks across the country. You can get these boxes delivered for just $7.99 per month.
Drink:
The Original Craft Beer Club - I like beer. A lot of people do. When I find a beer I like I am committed to it and don’t give other beers a chance. With the Beer of the Month Club, you will be able to try different beers that may just slip into your ordering rotation at your favorite bar. With each box, you get twelve 12-oz. microbrewed beers from different Microbreweries across the country. Each box includes four different types of beer, with three bottles or cans of each. Also each user gets a monthly newsletter detailing tasting notes, beer specifications, brewery profiles, and suggested food pairings. Each box goes for $37.95 per month, which for beer lovers is an absolute steal.
It’s easy to assume that subscription boxes may be a rip-off, but the above boxes are certainly the opposite.
