Running a home can be a lot of work. But it turns out that there are a bunch of subscriptions that let you lower your costs and improve your quality of life at the same time. In this post, we run through some of them, explaining how they benefit you.
Meal Kits
The rise of meal kit services has been nothing short of extraordinary. There are now so many subscription services available, all of which promise quick, healthy, delicious chef-style meals that keep your taste buds interested.
What’s more, they minimise food waste. That’s because you only ever buy the ingredients that you actually need – nothing more. All the instructions come in the box and, usually, they are pretty simple: chop this, fry that – and you’re done!
Solar Services
Commercial community solar is really taking off right now. It’s popular because it eliminates the need to install panels on your home but still gives you access to cheap, clean energy.
How does it work? Basically, a community raises the money to pay for a large solar installation out of town. You then pay a subscription fee to get electricity piped to your home. Because it doesn’t require burning any fossil fuels, it’s usually cheaper and certainly greener.
Shaving Product Subscriptions
Going shopping for shaving equipment every couple of weeks or so soon gets expensive. The major brands cost a fortune and charge enormous markups.
Shaving product subscriptions, however, cut down these costs and reduce the amount of money you spend on shaving materials. These services eliminate annoying markets and just charge you what the products actually cost to make.
Vitamin Packs
If you are worried about your family’s vitamin status, you can also get vitamin packs through the post. Just answer a few questions about your lifestyle and then companies will send you everything you need in the post. It’s that simple.
Handyman Services
Putting handyman services on subscription is an excellent idea, especially if you have a hectic family life. These professionals can stay on top of various household maintenance tasks so you don’t have to worry about them. Each week, they do something different. Assistance could include things like:
- Removing damp from drywall
- Cleaning leaves and twigs out of your gutters
- Clearing out the shed
- Repainting around the windows
- Blocking entrances that pests could use to access your home
- Repointing brickwork and paving
Clothes Subscriptions
Sometimes you don’t want to spend hours of your time, trudging around a mall, looking for clothes. Often you think about how much easier it would be if a company just sent you what you need in the post.
Well, now those sorts of services are available. You simply take a bunch of measurements and provide your weight and then a company will periodically send you clothes in the post on a subscription basis. The longer you stay signed up, the more goodies you will receive.
In general, subscription services actually save you time and money. They let you put the duller aspects of home life on autopilot so that you have more time to enjoy yourself.
