Read the reviews, look up the spoilers, ask yourself how many items in this box will I actually use because it is not a great value unless you will use enough of the items in it to make it cost effective. Then look for coupons and discount codes. Make the bigger commitments on Black Friday or Cyber Monday to save even more and stay within your budget.

My advice is to read past reviews and only subscribe to subscription boxes with products that you love.

I would give the advice to check out a few months worth of reviews and see if they are a right fit for you or for the price.

Besides reading reviews of course, you might want to set yourself a spending cap for the month. It’s soooo easy to all of a sudden have a few hundred dollars of subscriptions, which is great, but the credit card bills, not so much.
Also, swapping here on MSA. That way when you get some items you don’t care for, you can swap them with someone else who has what you want.

Read reviews and always look for a coupon for your first box.

Definitely read reviews, check out the brands they promote, check their social media presence, and really know what you’re subscribing to before you have over the money!

Read reviews. Go to various sources and read all the reviews you can about a subscription. Be sure to check dates on reviews, too – some services get better and others get worse.

My advice:
*Read reviews, MSA is a great resource for this.
*Start small, maybe a cheap sub to see how you like it.
*Understand the terms of the subscription before you purchase. Unfortunately many people don’t understand what they’re buying and get really upset when their expectations are not met. So be an informed consumer!
*Get your money’s worth. If you won’t use the products it’s not a good deal. So don’t get sucked into the excitement of a bargain if you don’t use or like the products.
*Enjoy what you receive. If it’s becoming overwhelming or a financial strain, cancel and put your money elsewhere. There’s nothing wrong with using the products you have and taking a break now and then.
*Try new things. Maybe step out of your comfort zone and try something new. It might become your favorite!
*Be a part of MSA and let us know your thoughts about a sub. Help out a fellow addict. 😉

Check reviews and try to not have FOMO if you decide to subscribe to a box.

I would suggest to not go all crazy and order 16 boxes a month as I did. Pace yourself! A few boxes a month is more than enough, or else you’ll end up with more stuff than you’ll know what to do with…

Don’t try subs if you have an addiction personality or if it runs in your family. Stay away…. but there are worse things to be addicted to.

Don’t go too crazy at the beginning or you will end up with product overload.
Bonus: Skip the Ipsy’s, birchbox’s, etc. if you are going to get a box that offers full size products. Otherwise, things like ipsy are a good place to start.

Check reciews, set a budget and select boxes that contain items you will actually use rather than get them for fomo.
