Comment on Do you hate running out of toothpaste? (My startup pitch)

Comments

A service that would, once a month, deliver by mail ALL of your needed toiletries - toothpaste, shampoo, shaving cream, deodorant, soap, etc. These would be the products you use normally - Old Spice, Colgate, Gillette, etc. The prices would be equal to, or often less than the store prices.

Amazon Subscribe and Save already offers this service: http://www.amazon.com/Health-Personal-Care-Subscribe-Store/b...

Nice catch - do you know how successful Amazon's program is?

I don't know how profitable it is for Amazon (since the items are 15% off and they ship free), but it has worked out well for my fiancee and me. For things that we would have bought at Costco (shampoo, toothpaste, lotion), we are saving a little and we don't have to make that extra trip to Costco or carry heavy items from the car.
