Showerthought: I was paying full price for my dog's food for years without even checking.

I was at the pet store last week buying the usual 30-pound bag that costs $68. The cashier asked if I wanted to sign up for their auto-ship program to save 35%. I almost said no because I thought it would be a hassle, but I did the math in my head right there. I've been buying this same bag every month for three years. That tip made me realize I was just on autopilot and throwing money away. Has anyone else found a simple switch like this that saved a bunch?

I did the same thing with my coffee subscription, my autopilot is on a spending spree.

Auto-ship saved me a ton on cat litter, it's crazy how much we overspend out of habit.
