Do you have click the "end your subscription immediately" link? When I canceled my monthly and then clicked the "set to renew" button, it doesn't give me the option to do the $35 annual, but I'd like to not have to renew it until my current paid period is over.
I've done this and tried to Upgrade to Paid and I can get the $35 option and I go through all the motions but it doesn't "stick"...maybe something is broken? Will try again in a few hours
If it helps anyone, this got fixed and I was able to get my year subscription for $35 following the cancel immediately/resubscribe steps -- thanks again, Caro!
Ugh ok I did not see this and was charged $50! (I assumed the deal would go through at check out or something). Any way to get the deal retroactively? Thank you!!!!!!!
Sorry guys I just assumed that if you upgraded to an annual it would give you the discount so sorry you're having to deal with Support. I'm also working on it on my end.
I've learned so many things since following you and have been inspired to cook a new recipe (or 2 or 3) every week. I love that you make it feel effortless to sub and swap out ingredients (and consequently have developed my own internal sense of subs that make sense for any meal I'm cooking now). With small children, a full time job, etc. it's easy for cooking to feel like just one more thing you have to do, but you've helped bring back the joy and creativity to a hobby I once loved and am starting to again. THANK YOU!!
I only recently began following you with the launch of your cookbook. I quickly subscribed to your Substack and I’m now a super fan! I’m likely not your target audience as a 50+ year old mom and now grandmom. But, I was seriously stuck in a rut of the same old boring meals and take out. You and your amazing recipes and community have helped rekindle my love of cooking! I am so very thankful. Aside from the amazingly delicious food, my favorite thing about your recipes is that they are complete meals - I don’t have to think about sides, etc - it makes planning SO easy!!! Truly amazing! 🌟
As someone with celiac Caro’s recipes have made cooking so much easier. It is so nice having a recipe developer think of all the swaps you need to make a meal work for your family, diet, etc and why in the world doesn’t every other recipe developer/writer put the measurements in the directions like Caro- game changer!
I just want to say thank you for giving me the tools to make food for 1 that I can be proud of. Your recipes make me feel like I am worth the effort, just on a weeknight hanging out with myself watching TV, eating an elegant, handcrafted meal.
Been a subscriber for 3 (4?) years now. The green sauce on anything is my go to easy impressive meal but honestly whenever someone compliments me on its something of yours! I'm proudest that I've kept up cooking for myself and my 2 kids while my husband is deployed and your recipes are really the driving force behind that. HBD WTC! (sung at a quick pace, of course)
Caro, my daughter is a huge fan. She gave me a gift subscription 2 years ago and I love following along. I also have your cookbook. I took it from my daughter and replaced it with a signed copy as a gift to her when she had baby 3. She burst into tears when she opened it. I bought my own subscription last year so I’ll be going on year 3. It’s been so fun talking to her about your recipes and trying them out. Mother-daughter cooking bonding! Thank you! Last year I gifted a subscription to my younger daughter. We’re all in this together now!
Subscriber for a year and half and this was my very first Substack subscription!! Also am I dummy in that I can’t figure out how to get the 1 year deal? I’m a monthly subscriber and it only shows me the $50 price?
You have to cancel first, then go into your profile and then there's small text that says "End this Subscription Immediately" - click that and then you'll get the $35 option.

I can’t find any text where it shows “end this subscription immediately”…just shows it’s going to end at the start of the next billing cycle. Was anyone else able to find it? I’ve tried through the browser and app
I found it in the browser when I logged in from my laptop. I couldn't figure it out at all from my iphone browser or in the app on my phone. Good luck!

I'm so proud that I took your advice and am not doing ALL THE THINGS this holiday season. Table top tree for the win and I don't feel the smallest bit guilty.
I’ve been a free subscriber and took this as fate to sign up for the $35 yearly but I’ve tried dozens of times and it won’t go through! Anyone else have similar issues?
I’ve been a subscriber for about 1.5 years, my favorite WTC meal has got to be the Thai-ish steak salad, hands down! So refreshing and filling without feeling heavy. I sub pork tendy a lot and it’s great!
My favorite caro-trick of all time is grating parm in the blender. I buy the giant wedges from Costco and this has become a staple move in my house.
We love you here Caro! I also have your book, and while I love to cook anyways, appreciate you making my life easier. Happy Holidays!
Caroline, your name has become a household staple when discussing dinner and all things delicious. I have cooked most of your cookbook, and MANY of those listed in your recipe index—nothing has been anything short of delicious. Meal after meal when my family voices their approval of one of your dishes my response is: ‘It’s Caro!’ Your name is synonymous with a good meal in our house. I love your recipes, the ease of preparation, and the great substitution options you always provide. Most of all the meals always—and I do mean always—taste outstanding. Your recipes have made a huge difference in my ability to make great meals for my family with flexibility and tons of flavor. Happy Birthday WTC! 🍾💜👏
I was one of your first subscribers after some of my golf buddies recommended I follow you on Instagram! After a few weeks I called my sister & told her to follow you. I said “she is just like us!” My sister said “you won’t believe this but we used to carpool with Caroline!” It is a crazy, small world and my whole family is so happy for your success and love your recipes, tips, recommendations and watching your family grow!

ps if you are a current monthly subscriber --CANCEL your monthly subscription, then get this deal! that's the only way to switch over to this deal!!
It didn't work for me! Says that my subscriber benefits end in a week and doesn't give me any option at all to renew
Do you have click the "end your subscription immediately" link? When I canceled my monthly and then clicked the "set to renew" button, it doesn't give me the option to do the $35 annual, but I'd like to not have to renew it until my current paid period is over.
Yes, if you do that, it gives you the $35 option. If you don't do that, it shows $5 or $50 as the only two
I've done this and tried to Upgrade to Paid and I can get the $35 option and I go through all the motions but it doesn't "stick"...maybe something is broken? Will try again in a few hours
working on this with support -- sorry, i guess this is really intended for new and gift subscriptions!
Thanks for your time, Caro, really appreciated!

Thanks so much for working on this with support!
Ugh ok I did not see this and was charged $50! (I assumed the deal would go through at check out or something). Any way to get the deal retroactively? Thank you!!!!!!!
Shoot this happened to me just now, too! I'm requesting a refund and waiting to chat with a substack person.
Yes can this be resolved on the back end bc I just switched over to annual during the sale thinking I got the deal
Any luck with this? I couldn’t get a real person via the chat and got told it was only for new subscribers
Sorry guys I just assumed that if you upgraded to an annual it would give you the discount so sorry you're having to deal with Support. I'm also working on it on my end.
Let us know what they say. I will gladly end my annual and re-subscribe with this deal! Merry Christmas to us all! You are amazing Caro
same!

Wow, look at you helping us get deals! Caro, you’re truly looking out for us!

We 50-something people need the extra time and energy as much as anyone!
SO true!!!

The measurements in the directions!! Yes!! I get really annoyed when I use any other recipe that doesn’t have them!

Been a subscriber since 2021! Will never get tired of your penne alla vodka recipe

I would love to gift this at a favorite things party tomorrow. Can I gift it to my email and then change it after the party?
I saw Caroline answer this in another comment - put in an email for now and then email Substack later to change. And contact her if we have any issues
Here with the same question except my favorite things party isn’t for a couple more weeks!
Subscriber for a year and half and this was my very first Substack subscription!! Also am I dummy in that I can’t figure out how to get the 1 year deal? I’m a monthly subscriber and it only shows me the $50 price?
cancel your monthly, then use this deal!!!!
Just came to the comments to look for an answer to the same question :)
You have to cancel first, then go into your profile and then there's small text that says "End this Subscription Immediately" - click that and then you'll get the $35 option.
Same...I am only seeing the $50 option :/

Thank you for having the sale! I asked for a subscription for Christmas, but in case nobody bought it for me... I figured I'd buy it for me!
I’ve been a free subscriber and took this as fate to sign up for the $35 yearly but I’ve tried dozens of times and it won’t go through! Anyone else have similar issues?
I had the same issue. Tried twice, and it appeared it went through both times via Apple Pay. But I don’t see it on my credit card.
Same issue!

Only Substack I pay for! Love your format and all the helpful notes. Salmon Tempura Crunch might be my favorite.

I forgot my favorite…. It’s difficult to pick one, they are all so good;) But I absolutely love your Mob Wife Salad.💜
