Prime Pantry had a subscription service too, so people were very confused about what to do - Prime Pantry or Subscribe and Save - and what saves the most money. Also, with Subscribe and Save, it was and still is* confusing as to WHO the product is bought from. On low-profit price-flucting products (e.g. Case of Redbull), the price will differ AND sometimes it will be unavialable via the subscibed listing but if you searched for the item, you&amp;#x27;d find it Prime from Amazon. The opposite also happens, when Amazon.com is clearly out of an item, yet somehow your subscribtion still makes it on time.&lt;p&gt;Honestly, just typing all that made me very confused.&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, I don&amp;#x27;t care from who (as long as they&amp;#x27;re reputable) or how, just get me my product, in this price range, this many times per period.&lt;p&gt;*: I still use Subscribe and Safe for the 15% discount - a nice discount if 5 subscriptions are due in the same month.</text></comment>

I use Prime all the time but never have sorted out the grocery stuff, so I use Instacart.&lt;p&gt;I did once try something that iirc was Pantry. I searched for Pantry items, they mixed in a bunch of stuff that wasn&amp;#x27;t Pantry but wasn&amp;#x27;t obvious about that, and after I filled my shopping cart with various items they wanted to charge me lots of extra shipping. So I backed out and didn&amp;#x27;t bother with it anymore.</text></comment>
