Save while you savor: Amazon Prime members can score a free year of Grubhub+ valued at $120

What is it?

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event might not be kicking off until Oct. 10, but as an early treat, the online retailer is offering Prime members a free year of Grubhub+. Sweet! That means that on top of all of the perks that come with a Prime membership, you'll also get $0 delivery fees on food orders, along with other delicious savings and offers. And the timing couldn't be better — with temperatures dropping, it's the perfect season for staying in and having your favorite comfort food delivered right to your door. That said, deal is exclusively for Prime members, so if you haven't already enrolled, what are you waiting for?

Why is it a good deal?

We write about tons of excellent markdowns on the daily — but it's hard to beat an offer that's, well, free. If you were to pay for Grubhub+ out of pocket, it would cost $9.99 per month, so getting a year's worth at no charge saves you a total of $120, on top of the savings you'll get on delivery orders simply by being a member. Plus, from now until Oct. 9, you can take $5 off of up to eight eligible orders of $25+ for a total of $40 in savings. Just think of how many pizzas that'll buy!

Now, if you aren't a Prime member already, you'll need to become one to take advantage of this deal. The good news? Joining Prime is easy — enrollment takes just a few minutes, and you'll get a free 30-day trial before having to pay $14.99 per month to continue. And should you decide you love Prime so much that you want to keep your membership after the trial, the amount you'll save in shipping alone will be worth the monthly fee. Plus, you'll be able to score sitewide discounts during October's Prime Big Deal Days, one of the biggest sales events of the year. (Just note that if you discontinue your Prime membership, your free GrubHub+ membership will also end.)

Why do I need this?

While it would be nice to have the time to prepare from-scratch meals at home every night, it's just not a reality for many of us. Rather than resorting to boxed mac and cheese for the fourth night in a row, a Grubhub+ membership opens up an array of delicious options without you having to lift a finger — aside from placing the order, of course.

And just what is included with your Grubhub+ membership? Here's the rundown:

• $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on delivery orders of $12+ (before tax, tip and fees) using the Grubhub platform (which includes Seamless)

• 5% back in Grubhub+ Credit on eligible pickup orders

• Exclusive members-only offers from select restaurants and stores

• From now until Oct. 9, save $5 on your $25+ order using code PRIME5 (eight redemptions per user!)

If you're an existing Prime member looking to take advantage of this deal, click "Activate free Grubhub+," create an account, agree to link your Prime and Grubhub+ accounts and enjoy your savings!

And if you've yet to join Prime, just know that a $14.99/month membership includes:

• Free delivery

• Exclusive Prime discounts

• Same-day delivery on millions of items

• Access to tons of streaming movies and TV shows

• A large catalog of ad-free music and podcasts

• Unlimited reading of books, magazines and more on any device

So let's recap: For a $14.99/year Prime membership (the first 30 days of which are free!), you'll get $120 off a year of Grubhub+, $40 off across eight food orders, $0 delivery fees on Grubhub orders, free shipping at Amazon, access to members-only deals during Prime Big Deal Days and a slew of other savings and perks. If you didn't already snag this deal two paragraphs ago, time's a wastin'!
