What is Thrive Market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market is an online retailer specific to natural, organic foods, beverages, household products, vitamin and other nutritional supplements and even natural health and beauty products. They even cater to healthy, nutritious products for pets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prices are crazy low compared to other online stores, allowing shoppers to save quite a bit of money on high quality natural and organic products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is a video that gives a good idea of how Thrive Market works, and how you (and others) can benefit from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike other similar retailers you might be more acquainted with (Vitacost, Swanson Vitamins, iHerb, etc.), this site requires one thing from its customers that you need to be fully aware of \u2013 it is membership based. With that said, my first and main recommendation if you shop there is \u2013 just make sure that you are aware of the membership and what it entails. (More details on the membership below.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market Membership (Trial and Yearly)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you sign up for Thrive Market, you are also signing up for a free trial membership. That free trial lasts for 30 days, at which point if you do not cancel, a cost of $59.95 will be charged to the credit card you provide when you sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That idea may or may not appeal to you \u2013 but if you do some \u201cnumber crunching,\u201d you might be surprised at how much you can save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, I have had my own membership for just a couple of months, and already the $59.95 has easily paid off in what I have saved from shopping there \u2013 but then again, I do quite a bit of shopping for some specific health foods, nutrition products, beverages and other items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is a screenshot from my Thrive account that shows so far \u2013 after about two months \u2013 how much I have saved compared to retail price:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, granted the amount shown above based on what I have saved compared to retail prices, and I probably would not be paying full retail for the products I buy (I am pretty handy about knowing where to get the discounts). However, it still has saved me more than the $59.95 that I paid for the membership, even if I had purchased the products at a discount somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To give you an idea of how much can be saved \u2014 just with one product that I buy 3 of per month, I save $6.00 (that is when comparing it to the lowest discounted price I can find on any other website). So \u2013 just for that one product, I save $18 per month. Now take $18 (per month) x 12 (months) = $216!!! That\u2019s how much money I save each year on that single product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I buy other products as well, which is why after only two months my membership is already paid for in discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On doing a bit of research on reviews of Thrive Market, I have seen both some very positive and negative reviews regarding the membership. The main \u201cnegative\u201d seems to be that \u201cthey didn\u2019t know that their free 30 membership was expiring,\u201d and that it seemed a bit \u201cshady\u201d to them that they were charged for the membership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is not my experience at all. In fact, quite the opposite \u2013 they were very clear up-front about the trial period of the free membership, and I even received an email from them notifying me of this 5 days before it expired (which would have easily given me the opportunity to cancel it if I had chosen to).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See screenshot below of the email I received:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most folks don\u2019t like to shell out money \u2013 and probably those who have a Costco membership don\u2019t like the annual fee either, but that is what is required in order to keep the membership and get the discounts available to members. (Coincidentally, the most common membership at Costco has approximately the same yearly fee \u2013 $60.00).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market has been given the description, \u201cCostco meets Whole Foods,\u201d which I would say is pretty accurate. If you shop at Whole Foods regularly and you switch over to Thrive, you will save a LOT of money. But yes, it does require shelling out $59.95 up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is Thrive Market For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Who should use Thrive Market: I would recommend Thrive Market to anyone who shops regularly for\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Natural and organic foods
\u2022 Healthy pet products
\u2022 Natural, healthy beauty, bath and body products
\u2022 Natural and organic vitamins, supplements and remedies
\u2022 Healthy baby and children\u2019s products
\u2022 Natural household supplies (cleaning, housewares, home fragrance, etc.)
\u2022 Low-income families that want to buy healthy products but cannot afford it (Find out about signing up for the Thrive Gives program here.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who should probably not use Thrive Market: Those who do not feel the need purchase organic food and other products regularly \u2013 maybe just a few times a year if you want to buy organic foods, snacks, vitamins or natural household products, Thrive Market is probably not a good fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Thrive Market Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In order to browse and buy the products on Thrive Market, you need to do the steps to register your account. This officially starts your free 30 day trial membership, and you can shop and buy any of the products that they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do some shopping! Check your email regularly for promotions from Thrive Market \u2013 they send out some wonderful discounts and free deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In about 25 days, you should receive a notification from Thrive Market in your email account that your free membership will expire in a few days. At that point, you could do a bit of number crunching to see if what you have shopped for (or will shop for), will make up for the cost of the membership. (Tip: If you don\u2019t check your email regularly, you might want to make a note on your calendar to check it for the notification email.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you decide that you do not want to keep the membership, they give you two ways to contact them to cancel it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Call (855) 419-2416 to speak to customer service, and tell them that you want to cancel.
\u2022 Send them an email to help@thrivemarket.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Current information on how to cancel a membership can be found on their Membership FAQ page.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you decide to keep the membership, you don\u2019t have to do anything. Your official paid membership will start automatically, and you will see a $59.95 charge on your credit card bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About the Thrive Market Gives Program: Help for Low-Income Families, Teachers, Vets and Students
I love this part of the membership \u2013 for every person that sticks with their yearly membership, another membership is donated to a less fortunate family, teacher, veteran or student. This allows people that live in the U.S. who normally would not be able to afford the membership, to benefit from the discounts that Thrive Market offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see this as not only benevolent, but it also as a demonstration that disproves some people\u2019s theory that the membership is a \u201cripoff.\u201d (I can guarantee that this company is not out to make a \u201chuge profit\u201d from consumers for their memberships \u2013 and I am certain that they don\u2019t make much profit from their prices.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How great is it that this company has given so much thought to helping people eat healthier foods even if they normally wouldn\u2019t have the income for it? In my book, this is a wonderful gesture to helping the less fortunate among us. By the way \u2013 if you are interested in signing up for the \u201cThrive Gives\u201d program, you can find out how to apply for it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Thrive Market Helps Save on Food and Other Healthy Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start out on this concept of saving money with a video \u2013 you probably are familiar with Jillian Michaels, the famous fitness guru. Below is her unboxing of just one shipment from Thrive Market. (I purchase some of the same products that she purchased in her shipment, and I can attest that the prices for these products are way lower than you can buy anywhere else.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To demonstrate this point a bit further, below I am including a list of popular products, with comparison prices from other sites (that are known for their lower prices). Thrive Market beats even great discounts from other sites hands down (note that prices were published on, and are accurate as of 1 Jan, 2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent Products I Purchased on Thrive With Price Comparisons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prices on the Thrive Market website for their products is what cinched it for me. I found quite a number of products that I love to buy but usually don\u2019t because of a high price tag in the supermarket or natural food store. Those products on Thrive Market are soooooo much lower, which makes me a happy camper \u2013 now I can afford to buy those items for myself and my family. Below are some products that I have recently purchased from Thrive, along with their prices and price comparisons from other sites that I have also purchased from in the past. (Note: Prices are valid as of January 1st, 2018.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luna Bars Lemon Zest (Box of 15) and Protein Bars (Box of 12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luna Lemon Zest \u2013 Box of 15:
\u2022 Thrive Market: $12.49
\u2022 Vitacost: $15.29
\u2022 Jet.com: $29.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luna Protein Bars \u2013 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough \u2013 Box of 12:
\u2022 Thrive Market: $10.29
\u2022 Vitacost: $15.99
\u2022 Jet.com: $10.38<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luna bars are a wonderful snack! We especially go for the Lemon Zest bars, and recently tried the protein chocolate chip cookie dough bars \u2014 but all of them that we have tried so far are good. A great pick for kids who are looking for something sweet \u2013 they\u2019re healthy too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bare Organic Coffee Bean Coconut Chips (2.8 oz.)
\u2022 Thrive Market: $4.49
\u2022 Amazon Grocery: $5.65 ea. ($33.93 for 6)
\u2022 Jet.com: $6.39
\u2022 Walmart.com: $5.08 ea. ($60.95 for 12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took me a while to get really grooved in to the idea of eating coconut chips \u2013 but once I did, I never turned back. They\u2019re wonderful! Coconut chips are prepared in different ways \u2013 some are baked, some are dried, and some are more on the sweet side while others are mild. The ones on the right have the perfect combination for me (since I am a coffee lover) \u2013 they combine a lovely sweetness with the bite of coffee bean. A perfect snack to go along with a cup of coffee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate Protein (16 oz.)
\u2022 Thrive Market: $17.49
\u2022 Amazon: $23.49
\u2022 Jet.com: $23.49
\u2022 iHerb.com: $23.49<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can almost not say enough about this supplement \u2013 Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate protein powder. I drink a couple of tablespoons twice a day (per the directions on the container). It not only has improved what one might expect with collagen \u2013 improved skin texture, skin tone, hair thickness and strength \u2013 but those gray hairs that I so conveniently have been ignoring are also starting to go away \u2013 all on their own! (What a bonus!) Another great win that I have had with this supplement \u2013 also an unexpected bonus \u2013 is improved (and more stable) energy level and a metabolism boost. Try to beat that, eh? Especially given the fact that it can be purchased on Thrive Market for about $6.00 cheaper than anywhere else I have found online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market Organic French Roast Coffee (12 oz.)
While there are no other sites that sell this product (since it is a brand-name sold only on the Thrive Market website), and I am not able to compare it on other sites, I still wanted to mention it. The price speaks volumes all on its own: $7.49 (about .62 cents per oz.) I am truly what could be called a \u201ccoffee snob,\u201d and I have tried a number of brands of dark roast organic coffees. This coffee is not only good, it is wonderful. It ranks right up there with the best I have ever had. Other brands of organic coffee \u2013 even on the sites with the deepest discounts \u2013 have a \u201cby the ounce\u201d price of anywhere between about .73 cents per ounce to about .95 cents. Pretty impressive. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP: Another \u201cbonus\u201d that makes the prices even better is the promotional freebies and special discount offers. Keep an eye on your email inbox for these! Sometimes you need to be kind of \u201cfast on the trigger\u201d to catch them, but some of the deals and discounts are almost unbelievable! It\u2019s well worth the extra minute or two to spend time checking your email on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros and Cons of Thrive Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\nPros:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Significant discounts on products (lowest that I have found on most items)
\u2022 Free promotional products (I received 2 boxes of Luna Bars with our last shipment the other day \u2013 my son\u2019s favorite!)
\u2022 Free memberships (with the same great discounts) for people in need, with the \u201cThrive Gives\u201d program
\u2022 They carry absolutely NO GMO foods, so you always know you are going \u201cGMO free\u201d
\u2022 Plenty of product options for special needs including vegan and vegetarian, gluten free foods, Paleo diet friendly foods and baking supplies and products aligned with the Ketogenic (\u201cKeto\u201d) diet
\u2022 Their own \u201cThrive Market\u201d brand, which provides top-quality products (foods, vitamins, beauty bath and body products, home, health and even baby products), at an even lower price than other brands. (I can attest to their brand of coconut chips and coffee \u2013 wonderful!)
\u2022 A large line of health products including vitamins, natural and homeopathic remedies, detox, super foods plus more
\u2022 Packaged well for shipping (no crushed boxes or bags)
\u2022 On-site blog with with lots of healthy recipes and helpful ideas
\u2022 Healthy options for dog and cat food, treats and other products
\u2022 Low price guarantee (they guarantee that the annual membership will pay for itself in savings)
\u2022 Known for top-notch customer service
\u2022 Shipping free for orders over $49.00
\u2022 Shipping is fast (in my experience)
\u2022 $25 in \u201cThrive Cash\u201d (money toward your orders) when you refer someone to their website and they purchase a membership<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cons:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 The $59.95 price of the membership might be a bit of a \u201csticker shock\u201d for some (but again, my experience is that is made back easily within 2 or 3 orders \u2013 but that depends on how much the membership would be used).
\u2022 Not as much product inventory as other websites (I was able to find more variety of choices in the Natural & Organic section of Amazon Grocery)
\u2022 Some confusions in the past on memberships, resulting in people being charged for a membership that didn\u2019t want them (this seems to have gotten ironed out, however \u2013 they are quite clear on the membership aspect of the site and how it works)
\u2022 It takes some \u201choop jumping\u201d (a few steps) to cancel the membership
\u2022 They only ship to the contiguous U.S., so if you live in one of the non-contiguous states or in another country, you will not be able to shop there. (I read on their site that they are looking into changing that in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market Customer Reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I have found quite a number of not only negative reviews, but what I would call scathing reviews. Almost all of the complaints I have read have to do with the membership charges \u2013 in some instances, after people cancelled their memberships they were charged again the next year even though they did not renew it. Another complaint that I saw multiple times was that it took more steps than the customers wanted to cancel the membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I have not cancelled my own membership, I cannot give my experience on this as a valid complaint or not \u2013 but repeated stories along this line cause me to believe that there must be some lack of efficiency going on in their billing department for memberships. On a more positive note, when they have been contacted about membership charges, they do rectify the situation and refund any charges made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the reviews, I have also seen the word \u201cscam\u201d mentioned more than once \u2013 which I guess is a matter of viewpoint and in my opinion is a harsh exaggeration. To me, it does not appear to me that the company is intending to rip off anyone. But, a bit of tightening up in membership renewal administration seems to definitely be in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My personal experience on this: What I found after I started my trial membership is that they were quite transparent about the 30 day membership trial period, and that my credit card would be charged at the end of that time period unless I cancelled. After a couple of orders, it was a no-brainer to me to keep the membership since I could see that I would be saving a LOT of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, 5 days before the free trial membership expired, I received an email from them that stated clearly what was coming and what to expect. (See image in the \u201cThrive Market Membership\u201d section above.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other reviews from the company\u2019s customers were actually quite positive. They (like me) shop regularly for natural and organic foods, vitamins, etc., and they also seem to be saving quite a bit of money on food and other expenses as a result of their membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really, it boils down to this: Will you be using the membership by shopping much on the site? If you have any question about that, I don\u2019t really recommend that you become a member or renew your membership after the free trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market Products Brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is also something that I found impressive \u2013 their own product line not only has good products, but in my experience they are top-notch. And \u2013 talk about low prices! Some examples of their brand products include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Foods and snacks
\u2022 Health products (vitamins, herbs, other types of supplements)
\u2022 Natural beauty, bath and body products (yay!)
\u2022 Home products (cleaners, detergents)
\u2022 Baby products (think natural disposable diapers for very reasonable prices)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also read on this page that they have lots of new products currently under development, so more affordable products to come on this, which I look forward to seeing roll out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market Referrals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are a fan of healthy, natural and organic foods and other products, and you have a current membership with Thrive Market, you can easily benefit from spreading the word to your health-loving friends and family. Below is a screen image of what the referrals page looks like: How the referral program works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to the \u201cInvite Friends\u201d page on the site (shown in image above)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directly from that page, you can send friends links through Facebook or your email account * Optionally, you can copy the link that they give to you and paste it anywhere \u2013 you can promote it on your own website or blog as well. (You can also use a site like embed.ly to embed a special \u201cvisual link\u201d that can be embedded into your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For every person you sign up from your link through one of the resources above (Facebook, email or link), you receive $25 in \u201cThrive Cash,\u201d which is spend-able on their site. Also, the person you refer will receive 25% off their first order, which can add up to quite a bit depending on how much they shop for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market vs. Whole Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Even though it is a bit of a drive for me, I love shopping at Whole Foods \u2013 but I often get \u201csticker shock\u201d when I do shop there, and usually end up buying less than what I really want because of the high prices.
It goes something like this: I browse through the aisles and practically drool over the yummy foods and yearn to buy many of the natural bath and beauty products. I look and look and look \u2013 having a great time, then I pick up one of the products, look at it then take note of the price. Swallowing my disappointment, I usually put the product back on the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, I check out the same (or similar) products on Thrive Market, and my reaction is, \u201cWoooo Hooo!\u201d I pull out my credit card and get (admittedly) a bit \u201cshop happy\u201d and start buying away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My experience \u2013 In general, when I buy a product on Thrive Market, I pay about 30-50% less than I do at Whole Foods. No kidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a note \u2013 One thing that Whole Foods has going for it are their food stands\/areas (where you can buy prepared food and either bring it home or sit down to eat right there in the store). This is something that I will continue, because the food is always healthy, and kids love it \u2013 and they probably don\u2019t even know that they are \u201ceating healthy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free Products on ThriveMarket.com<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Thrive regularly offers free promotional items to its members, or as an incentive to sign up for a membership. Sometimes the products are not a great fit for me, but often they are \u2013 and hey, they\u2019re free, right? I mentioned this above already, but I recently received an email that I could get 12 free Luna bars with an order. My kiddo and I love these bars as a fast, healthy snack \u2013 the Lemon Zest bars are yummy! It was already in my plans to place an order for some other items, so this was a great deal for us. After that happy coincidence, I will be paying a lot more attention to my promotional emails from Thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market \u2013 Encouraging Eating Healthy, Organic Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Here is where I could go absolutely nuts with talking about healthy food and other healthy personal and home products. I could get right up on my soapbox and be more than a bit boring, so I will try to keep it brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have come across a number of people in my lifetime that believe that \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter if food is natural, organic \u2013 or not.\u201d That is a myth, and I feel that it is unfortunate that so many people out there are so misinformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once someone makes it a lifestyle to \u201cgo all natural,\u201d or \u201cgo healthy\u201d when it comes to their nutrition, that person will inevitably realize what he or she has been missing. Not only are healthy foods just as yummy as \u201cregular\u201d foods, but they help you to feel good \u2013 along with increased nutrition comes just plain feeling better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eating natural and organic food makes all the difference in overall health and feeling good. To me, that is an indisputable fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another point on this \u2013 using all natural home cleaning and other products (without harsh chemicals) is incredibly important. When I found out that harsh toxic chemicals that are used in many products can so negatively affect someone physically, I became a strong advocate of an \u201call natural household\u201d in addition to promoting health in our kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those toxins go into the lungs, into the bloodstream \u2013 and the human body is not equipped to deal with that very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now our home is only cleaned with products that do not emit toxic fumes, have natural ingredients, and are still extremely effective. And \u2013 after a good cleaning, the house smells wonderful \u2013 no strong, pungent smells that make me want to hold my nose and squint my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fact that Thrive Market makes it within reach money-wise to buy healthy products \u2013 to me \u2013 makes the company a dream come true, and just what the world of \u201cnatural and organic lovers\u201d has been waiting for.
When I stumbled across Thrive Market I was as happy as a kid on Christmas, browsing all over the site, saying things like, \u201cWow!\u201d and \u201cLook at that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe that the Thrive company has filled a need that no other online or offline store has been able to in the past, and they did it with the most practical solution \u2013 a yearly membership coupled with \u201cI can\u2019t believe it!\u201d prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I appreciate the work and thought that Thrive Market has put into making healthy eating affordable.
Thrive Market, Moms, Dads and Their Kiddos<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most important jobs a parent has is making sure that their children are eating healthy. This is not an easy job \u2013 I can easily attest to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When browsing the Thrive Market site, one of the main things that stands out to me is the variety of yummy snacks that do not contain ingredients like \u201cYellow Die #5,\u201d MSG, etc., etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This site is a bevy of choices when it comes to snacks that kids love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does your kiddo love chips and\/or other crunchy snacks? Well, Thrive has you covered. The huge variety of healthy veggie, potato and other all natural snacks for chip lovers is something to behold. Order away, have your pantry stocked up with these \u201ccrunchers\u201d that kids will actually reach for, eat and love. (We love the banana and veggie chips \u2013 yum!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Know a little one who loves sweets? (Of course \u2013 duh!) Well, Thrive has you covered there too. There are numerous different dried fruit snacks, fruity gummy treats, healthy chocolate and much, much, much more. And they (or at least the ones I have tried) are just as good or better tasting than any junky sugary food you can lay your hands on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the viewpoint of a mom who has had a rather tough time getting her child to eat healthy food, you should definitely check out this site \u2013 I think you will agree \u2013 what you find there in the way of \u201csnacky\u201d foods will keep the kids happy and will give you some real peace of mind when it comes to your children\u2019s nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thrive Market \u2013 Is it Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now we are down to the nitty gritty bottom line \u2013 Is Thrive Market worth it? And is it for you?
For some, Thrive Market has much to offer in the way of healthy food and other product options \u2013 but for others, it might not be a good fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The membership is apparently a matter of much controversy in consumer reviews \u2013 but in my opinion it\u2019s a great deal. For about the same price as a Costco yearly membership, you can save over and over and over on foods and other healthy products that you normally would pay \u201can arm and a leg\u201d for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really, it depends on how much you will be using the site. If you shop a lot for wholesome, natural and healthy products, my recommendation is to sign up for the membership, make it a habit to make Thrive your \u201cgo to\u201d website, check in regularly and check your email account regularly to cash in on freebies and special discounts. (Even without the special discounts, you will generally find lower prices than you will find anywhere else on wholesome, healthy foods.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comparing to Amazon Prime membership \u2013 I see quite a number of people comparing use of an Amazon Prime membership to the Thrive Market program. I have both, and they are definitely worth it, but I wouldn\u2019t necessarily compare one to the other. I use my Amazon Prime membership for many different kinds of purchases, but when it comes to natural foods and products, I have found overall that the prices on Amazon (even with a Prime membership) are still quite a bit higher when compared to Thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even with the \u201cPantry\u201d program that Amazon offers (which I am not the biggest fan of), the prices on Thrive Market are simply hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Final Words and Recommendation on Thrive Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Personally, I am completely sold on Thrive Market. They combine healthy foods and other products with something I have been longing for, for a long time \u2013 low prices. Very low prices. If you buy natural, organic foods and products \u2013 and you love low prices \u2013 my recommendation is absolutely give it a try. On the other hand, if you are uncertain about how much you would shop there, or you\u2019re not too much into the \u201cnatural and organic thing,\u201d it\u2019s probably not for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I recommend if you are still undecided \u2013 If you are curious about it, create an account (starting your free 30 day trial membership), put it on your calendar that the free trial is up one day ahead of time, and make a final decision at that point. (They also will send out a reminder about the membership to your email account several days before the trial is up.) Again, if you decide to cancel, you can find out how to do that here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
