Thrive melds three of my favorite things—quality food, truly reasonable prices, and convenience. Consider it the Costco, BJ’s, or Sam’s Club of the clean food world. For a $60 annual membership fee, you get access to an online market featuring a curated collection of 2,500 healthy, non-perishable products at wholesale prices—about 25 to 50% off retail prices—that are then delivered right to your door. If you decide you don’t like it, just cancel within 30 days for a refund. To make the shopping experience easier (as if shopping in flannel PJ’s from your couch isn’t easy enough), you can search by over 60 different categories such as paleo, GMO-free, certified organic, vegan, and dairy-free. As an off-and-on paleo-dieter who has to somehow locate staples and snacks sans soy, grains, dairy, and legumes, this wins big points with me. No aimlessly searching aisles, squinting to read labels, or duking it out over the last jar of crunchy almond butter. Visit thrivemarket.com to save on your favorite clean eating products. Sounds good in theory, right? But you’re a savvy shopper who needs hard numbers, so I’ll give them to you. During my first Thrive shopping experience, I loaded up on the items I’d normally buy: Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour, Pacific Organic Almond Milk, Wild Planet Wild Albacore Tuna, Nutiva Coconut Oil, and Traditional Medicinals Ginger Aid Tea. The total damage: $26.35. Compare that to the total had I paid suggested retail value: $41.02. That’s a savings of $14.67—or to put it in more enticing terms, enough to cover my Starbucks addiction for a week. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, for every membership sold, one is donated to a low-income family—because, as the company’s mission states, good food and healthy living shouldn’t be limited to those with big bank accounts. Now that’s a concept we can all get behind. MORE: Looking To Eat Clean? Then You Need This New App
