Unless you have been living under a rock, it’s almost impossible to miss just how much the Internet has changed how many of us shop. Everything from music to clothes to personal hygiene products like toothpaste<\/a> and shampoo<\/a> can be bought with a few clicks of your mouse or taps on your smartphone’s screen.<\/p>\n

As more people shop online and more businesses offer online shopping options, businesses have had to adapt to find a way to stand out. One way to do so is to create specialized batches of products instead of having a customer browse for one item at a time. The batches or packages often come in the form of a subscription box. <\/p>\n

You can find specialized boxes for almost anything nowadays. They exists for men’s clothing, women’s clothing, toys, boxes for pets, and many aimed at specific lifestyles, like vegetarians<\/a> or people who are into the ketogenic diet<\/a>. Vegans have subscription box options too. <\/p>\n

The Benefits of a Monthly Subscription Program<\/h2>\n

Before you start trying to find the best vegan subscription box program for your preferences and needs you first have to decide if a monthly program is something that is going to benefit you personally. While they are very popular, they aren’t for everyone. <\/p>\n

Here are three of the major benefits to consider. <\/p>\n

Money: <\/strong>A big mistake many shoppers make while researching monthly box plans is that they simply take whatever is in the box, find the average cost of each item, and add them all together to see if they are getting a deal or overpaying. This is not taking the entire shopping journey into mind. <\/p>\n

While you may end up paying less for everything as a package than you would if your pieced everything out, some boxes actually cost more than the sum of the parts. But, that does not mean you are losing money. On the contrary, you can still actually see a savings in your spend. <\/p>\n

The main reason for this is that you save a whole heck of a lot of time. Driving to various sources trying to piece together everything you’d receive in a single package can take hours. And, it requires transportation expenses, whether that’s gas or public transportation fees. <\/p>\n

You could try and piece everything out online so you don’t have to worry about driving, but even then you might not know where to find everything. So, you end up doing a ton of research and poking around different websites looking for what you want. You also will usually need to add on shipping expenses if you don’t get a discount.<\/p>\n

Getting everything in one box on a regular schedule allows you to do the research once and then set and forget it. You save time and money. <\/p>\n

Discovery: <\/strong>A major benefit of getting a box put together for you is that you will often receive certain brands of products you were currently unaware of. That means you can to discover a whole bunch of different items without having to deep dive online discussion platforms like Reddit or harass the owner of the local vegan shop trying to pick their brain.<\/p>\n

And, just as important at finding new items you like, you also get to sample other items and find out what you don’t like. Nothing is worse than buying an entire package of one item only to find out you hate it.<\/p>\n

Convenience:<\/strong> One of if not the biggest selling point for getting onto a monthly subscription is that it’s extremely convenient. We already mentioned how much time you can save above while discussing the benefit that you can save money, but the convenience extends beyond that. <\/p>\n

Boxes are kind of a set and forget program. That means once you ick the right subscription box for you, you no longer have to really do anything. The company with automatically collect the fee using the billing method you select so you don’t need to bother with invoices and payments. And, hey will send you your box without you have to manually go online and place an order each and every month. <\/p>\n

Having your box arrive each and every month without taking any of your time or energy let’s you use that time and energy elsewhere. It’s surprisingly stress reliving. <\/p>\n
