Are You Thriving? Thrive Market: Belong to a Better Market

About a year ago my sister told me about an amazing online marketplace called Thrive Market, and I just have to share it with all of you. Trust me, you’re going to want to sign up too! Let me tell you why…

First and foremost, Thrive Market is all about making healthy living accessible and affordable for everyone. They offer a wide range of high-quality, natural, and organic products at prices that are significantly lower than what you would find in traditional brick-and-mortar stores. It’s like having a health food store at your fingertips, without the hefty price tag.

One of the things I love most about Thrive Market is their extensive selection. They have everything from pantry staples like grains, snacks, and spices, to fresh produce, meat, and seafood. They even have a fantastic assortment of specialty items for those with dietary restrictions or specific preferences, including gluten-free, paleo, vegan, and more. No matter your dietary needs, Thrive Market has got you covered.

Another standout feature of Thrive Market is their commitment to social and environmental responsibility. For every paid membership, they provide a free membership to a low-income family, teacher, student, or veteran. Plus, they prioritize sustainable packaging and support ethical brands that align with their mission. It feels great knowing that by shopping on Thrive Market, I’m not only taking care of myself but also making a positive impact on others and the planet.

Signing up for Thrive Market is super easy and convenient. You can do it from the comfort of your own home, and they even offer a risk-free 30-day trial, so you can explore the platform and see if it’s a good fit for you. Trust me, once you experience the convenience and savings, you won’t want to go back to your old shopping routine.

I’ve noticed that I’m saving a significant amount of money by shopping on Thrive Market as opposed to Trader Joes or Whole Foods. The membership fee is quickly offset by the lower prices on the products, and they frequently have sales and promotions that make it even more affordable.

How it works: They’re an online, $4.99/month membership-based market that gives you access to the best healthy products, delivered at guaranteed savings. Make back your membership fee in savings, or they’ll credit you the difference. That means if your membership fee was $60 & you only saved $40 during your membership year, they’ll automatically add $20 Thrive Cash to your account after you renew. I saved more than $30 on the first order I placed.

Here are some popular product categories on Thrive Market:

Specialty Diets: If you have specific dietary restrictions or follow a particular eating plan, Thrive Market offers a range of specialty products. This includes gluten-free, paleo, keto, vegan, and dairy-free options. You can find alternative flours, snacks, baking mixes, and more to suit your needs.

Pantry Staples: Thrive Market offers a range of pantry staples, including organic grains, pasta, beans, nut butter, cooking oils, condiments, and spices.

Snacks: Thrive Market has a great selection of healthy and delicious snacks. You can find options like organic nuts and seeds, granola bars, dried fruits, jerky, kale chips, and more. They cater to various dietary preferences,which might not always be able to find snack for including gluten-free, paleo, and vegan.

Natural Home and Personal Care: Thrive Market also offers natural and eco-friendly home and personal care products. This includes cleaning supplies, beauty and skincare products, vitamins and supplements, and baby care items.

Pros:

1. Affordable prices: Thrive Market offers products at significantly lower prices compared to traditional stores, making healthy and organic options more accessible.

2. Extensive selection: They have a wide range of products, including pantry staples, fresh produce, specialty items, and more, catering to various dietary needs and preferences.

3. Convenience: Shopping on Thrive Market is convenient as you can browse and order online from the comfort of your home, saving time and effort.

4. Social and environmental impact: Thrive Market’s mission to provide free memberships to those in need and their commitment to sustainability make them a socially and environmentally responsible choice.

5. Free trial: They offer a risk-free 30-day trial, allowing you to explore the platform and decide if it meets your needs before committing to a membership. (just remember to cancel after 30 days if you find it isn’t right for you.)

6. FREE shipping on all grocery orders over $49.

Cons:

1. Membership fee: Thrive Market requires a paid membership to access their exclusive deals and prices. While the fee is reasonable, $4.99/month, it might be an additional cost to consider.

2. Online shopping limitations: Shopping online means you can’t physically inspect products before purchasing, which could be a downside for some who prefer to see and touch items in person.

3. Delivery time: Depending on your location, the delivery time may vary. It’s important to plan ahead to ensure you have your desired products when you need them.

4. Limited availability: Thrive Market might not carry every single product or brand you’re looking for, especially if you have very specific or niche preferences.

5. Potential for overspending: While Thrive Market offers great deals, it’s important to be mindful of your spending and not get carried away by the convenience and lower prices.

In conclusion, Thrive Market offers numerous benefits, such as affordability, convenience, and a wide product selection. However, it’s important to consider factors like the membership fee and potential limitations associated with online shopping. Assessing your own needs and priorities will help you determine if Thrive Market is the right fit for you.

To find the best products on Thrive Market, explore their website and app, where you can browse through various categories. Utilize customer reviews and ratings to gauge the quality and popularity of specific items. Remember, everyone’s preferences differ, so it’s worth trying different products and discovering your own favorites on the platform.

While I wish that this post was sponsored by Thrive Market, I do have a referral link. If you choose to use it you will get 40% off your first order as well as a welcome gift: http://thrv.me/VBgBh5

I highly recommend signing up for Thrive Market, as it revolutionizes healthy and affordable shopping. Additionally, their commitment to sustainability and their free membership program for those in need make them a fantastic company to support. Happy shopping, my friends!

I have earned $7 cash back today just from the online shopping I have done.  I received 4 checks last year, and one of those “Big Fat Checks” that Rakuten sent me was for $35.

It is literally getting paid to shop online for things that I am already buying.

Target Time! Finding What You Need and What You Never Knew You Needed

One of my favorite places to shop is Target!

Whether I am looking for home decorations, paper towels, new mascara, or a comfy cozy sweater, I can always find what I am looking for at Target.  (and what I’m not looking for.) .

It’s funny that walking into Target with a list almost always means that I will leave with $200 worth of stuff I didn’t need, and yet forget to buy the things on my list… The other day I went to Target because I needed bleach to clean my house, I came out with a whole new line up of hair care products, fortunately, I did remember the bleach though 😉

Several years ago (like 18, wow I’m getting old!) I signed up for a Target Red Card.  It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.  Over the years, I have saved so much money due to the 5% off discount, as well as the free shipping when shopping online.

While I am sure this totally sounds like an ad and it somewhat is, if you shop at Target, I recommend getting a Red Card.

Maybe you are not interested in opening up a new credit card, and I don’t blame you, having too many credit cards does not show up well on your credit report.  Target Red Card also offers a Debit Card option. It links to your existing checking account and you can make cash withdrawals at checkout up to $40.

 

  • Use it at any Target store or online at Target.com
  • Save 5%* on every shopping trip
  • Free standard shipping on Target.com* – minimum purchase threshold may apply
  • Free shipping on Target Restock orders
  • Get 30 extra days for returns*
  • Enjoy REDcard early access events & exclusive offers**
  • Receive a 10% off storewide coupon*** via email on your REDcard anniversary (redeemed in store only)****
  • Manage your card online using Manage My REDcard

*Restrictions apply. Visit the REDcard page for more details.
**Early access offered for select events, products and promotions. Some early access and exclusive extras may not be available to all REDcard holders. Visit the REDcard page for more details.
***Exclusions apply.
****The primary cardholder will be sent an offer via email after the card opening anniversary date. To qualify for the offer the primary cardholder must be signed up for marketing emails from Target and the card must be open and in good standing.

Which REDcard is right for you?

Jeans and Genes

Flab to Fab Finding Jeans | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
We’ve only just begun…

As you may recall, I have been on a journey from Flab to Fab, and part of this journey has lead me to desperately needing new jeans!

I don’t know quite what it is about jean shopping specifically, but it is exhausting!

I have been wearing the same jeans that I fit into almost 20 pounds ago.  I recently decided that enough is enough and I just needed to suck it up and keep trying until I find the right pair!

You may be thinking, but you have lost a lot of weight, all of your problems have magically been solved!  Nope!

Unfortunately, even though my jeans size has changed, my genes haven’t changed.  I have a small waist, thicker thighs and fat knees.  You may remember me talking about that in my post about Working Out For Beginners.  (I seriously HATE my fat knees!)

Don’t worry, these wonderful genes have also given me a lot of great traits as well.

This means that due to my overall body shape, I am always in between sizes. Seriously, so annoying!  If the waist fits, the thighs and knees are too tight.  If the thighs and knees are comfortable the waist is way too big.  If it seems like a great fit overall they are too short…

Well, I would rather have circulation to my legs, so I decided to just resign myself to the fact that I will always have to wear a belt.  I finally found a pair that I like and that are comfortable as well!

Three stores and 36 pairs later!

Flab to Fab Finding Jeans | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comOn the bright side, no matter what size jeans you are in, you can always wear an amazing pair of earrings!  I got these a while ago and had totally forgotten about them until just the other day.  The best thing about these earrings is that even though they are long and dangly and absolutely beautiful, they only weigh 2 grams.

I hate it when my earrings pull on my earlobes giving me a major headache.  Of course, if I really like the earrings I totally still wear them.  We all know about suffering for beauty! #thestruggleisreal I mean, let’s face it, stiletto heels are not comfortable to walk in in any way at all, but come on, they make you feel so beautiful! No pain no gain, am I right?!
