I agree about Thrive and other companies like them who require all my info just to view what they have. And while I can technically pull out, often it takes a lot of convoluted time finding the right buttons to do so or worse. For one company, I had to go to the chat room and waste more time to get my money back, cancel and delte account. But I decided also that they have just captured my credit card and email, name etc that they say will be deleted, but with so many hacks on big companies I don't find it safe. Plus, I have later gotten emails from some of these companies I deleted with ads. So basically they lied, kept my email and then marketed their stuff to me. So I've just decided if if can't see what Im buying up front, I can go somewhere else. Thanks for posting - love your content.
Great point about them harvesting personal info even if you cancel. Definitely passing on Thrive now.
Orzo is a staple in our house! Luckily I can find all I want at the discount restaurant store. I once bought 1 pound bags for .50 each. I put it in the freezer for a few days then used my brake bleeder that you taught me to use and stored it in jars! Thank you again for what you di!
I had to laugh, Heidi...right before your video YT placed an ad for....Thrive Market, oh the irony, lol!
Thank you this helped me a lot….I’ve been thinking about Misfits…..I quit on bloggers site because every one she spent time promoting an internet product……I know she’s doing it to make money but everyyyyyyyy vlog became redundant to me…
I try to help your site by clicking the thumbs up and also sending your link to Facebook and friends…
I thought of you today while cleaning my refrigerator freezer and pulling out this and that’s I shoved in bags and put in there…..so the outcome will be hamburger cabbage casserole with shredded kale, dehydrated onions, celery and carrots with smashed potato waffles.
Chicken broth from saved skin and a forgotten bag of cooked chicken….I’ll pull the skin out once it’s cooked for awhile….a mix of frozen broccoli, carrots and corn I’ll make into a veggie soup and the extra veggies I’m not using I’m dehydrating.
Last of all strawberries I’ve bought and put in the freezer…I’m going to make into a chia jam……my husband wants P n J Sammie’s everyday so I’ll mix some of the jam into the peanut butter so it’s not drippy….
I made zucc fritters along with a dill cucumber sauce for the couple I cook for….yummy.
Last week I made zucc and banana breads and froze some, so good that my breakfast was creamed cream cheese with chopped dehydrated strawberries mixed in it….opps till it was gone…..
Thank you again, oh….how about showing a video on what you are sewing now. One you tuber is selling her aprons for $30 ……and has had some large orders……several were around 50 aprons……they’re pretty but I’m more for country looking ones with old looking material….
Blessings,
That all sounds good and reminds me I need to come up with a new casserole idea! Thanks for the thumbs up, the views, and the sharing, that does a LOT to help us and we appreciate everyone who takes these steps :)
I shop Vitacost, too, but often forget if I am getting sale items, not to leave the cart too long, then the items are not on sale any more...lol...so, even though I wait for that '10% finish your order' I have tried to be more careful! Thanks so much for showing us where you get your pantry items, all your info is always so good, may God continue to bless you and Mr. Rain
I just found your channel, nice to find someone else in Washington state.
You are such a blessing Rain Mama!
I agree about Thrive Market, I found the same thing and didn't last long either. We just got a Costco (about an hour away) and am going to,check it out soon. However online, I'm not seeing things I've heard you mentioned but a friend of mine really likes it too, so I'm just going to have to go look again. My places to buy are typically Azure, Vitacost and even Wal-Mart (organic items), sometimes Amazon but usually find cheaper at the others.
Thank You for sharing your experience and wisdom ... always valuable and helpful! 🙏
Thank you for the heads up. Appreciate all the information you share!
Great info! Thanks for all the links. blessings!
I don't join any of those markets that is simular to Thrive, Grove etc. I can get much better prices by shopping around. There are so many on TH-cam pushing you to join these companies and getting a discount, one time only. You are right on point.
Grove is great and they price match
Hello Heidi, wonderful video, full of great and honest info! Much appreciated.😉👍🏼💗
I’ve always wondered about Thrive. Thank you for sharing. Great video.
Thank you. I cancelled my subscription at thrive market as well I think it was expensive.
Thank you, Heidi. Good information. 😃
Thanks for sharing your market experiences 🤩!
Thanks for all the great information! God bless!
Thank you!! I’m in rural colorado i appreciate your advice
Not being able to see prices was the reason I didn't use Thrive as well. My go to's are Vitacost, Sam's, Mountain Rose Herbs, and Amazon. Thanks for sharing, I've been curious about Thrive after seeing so many ads on YT. That was another red flag for me though lol
Azure has been a God send this year. I have been buying their in season, bulk, organic produce to can as the weather has made my garden late at the very least. I have to drive 45 minutes to pick up my items, but it’s worth it and I will not be doing it during the winter months. I am preparing so I do not have to venture out this winter at all. Vita cost is excellent for staples and treats. Market Wagon is another good local source as well as local farmers more directly like via farmer’s markets and farm stands. We joined a herd share for milk last year which drops off fairly nearby (for us) and we freeze it until we need it as well as making ferments from it. I don’t eat meat, but for the rest of the family and our dogs I have been buying bulk freezer meats from a local butcher who prepares it fresh and to my specifications at excellent prices. I have been freezing it in our estate sale freezer I got for $60 last year, but this order I ordered extra to can and bought extra jars in case of power outages this winter and the need arises to can the rest. Just found out from the butcher that they will even precut the meats for canning for me as well and all of it always comes preFrozen after processing so that it isn’t messy. I have been drying herbs and wild edible foods like lambs quarters in large amounts as they are doing great this year.
Just got in a recent order from Azure and I will be talking about that in my next This~N~That that will publish on Monday
They are always out of products that I want to order.😔
@@beautifulfeather7720 unfortunately that has happened a bit more as the season goes on for staples and supplies, but each month they have new fruits n veggies available in bulk.
@@beautifulfeather7720 there was another channel talking about how there customers over double because of covid. So hopefully them being out of stuff doesn't last
Thank you so very much for sharing this information! So very helpful! God’s Blessings to you and yours 🙏🏻💖
Love the way you will share ideas and works with other YT'ers. Your not ashamed to share the spotlight. Plus may I add you genuinely give advice and share knowledge from experience. These and a few other examples makes you sincere and trustworthy. God bless. 💝
Thank you!
Thank you for such great information regarding Thrive Market. I thought I was doing something wrong when I went to the website but for some reason could not properly maneuver to see the products or learn more about what the company and reasons for membership were all about. A red flag that I ignored and thought it odd, presumptuous, and shady when all they wanted was my email, and then started having me create a profile, only to find out in the end, they wanted my credit card information to get me started. At that point, that freaked me out so I just shut it down, then found your video. What a waste of valuable time before I found you. Thank you for your video, I hope others see it before going to Thrive Market.
Glad I could be of help! Yes, it was very frustrating and a waste of time, but at least I learned something that I could share with others :D
FANTASTIC video. Looooooved it. Very informative. GOD Bless!
Amazon mostly and for our fresh produce we usually go to a local farmer market.
Thank you ,Heidi.
Misfits was fun as I never chose/ordered specific items and just let them surprise me with only organic items. Loved that cuz there were wonderful things I never heard of and all were great and yummy and fun to try. Felt like Xmas. Always satisfied and their French pudding dessert came in the cutest reusable glass jar with lid.
What is French pudding?
Lets try to keep Christ in Christmas and not x him o u t. Ty
@@SkywatcherSandraYet, It would not surprise me if you do the Santa Clause and Elf thing.
@@shijshi Celebrating, whimsically, takes nothing away from honoring Jesus and acknowledging when Salvation came to us.
Thank you for sharing and being so transparent. It's so refreshing to hear a fellow christian talk about things that interest me and know if when you get a kickback. I have no problem with people making money thru affiliates. It's obvious you work hard to provide information to your viewers but the fact that you are willing to state up front the details is so refreshing not to mention it lines up with how you are expected to live based on the word. Now that I know about the referal system I can try to help next year. Iv'e bought seeds from you on etsy but other stuff I just take all that free knowledge and am a do it yourself kind of gal. I also love that you are of the same mind as you were years ago and haven't let the popularity of the channel change you. Thanks for the great content. After watching the youtube tips I now listen to you on 1.75 lol and I never thought I'd ever speed up your videos. It's nice to speed them up and slow them down. Love ya, from sister Linda.
It amazes me people can speed up my videos and still be able to follow, espeically with the whiners out there that complain that I talk too fast! haha
wow, I posted this on another yt channel, wonder why it is showing up here, an hour later...yt playing around!
Up here in Canada, we pay more for stuff like that to come up and then pay customs. Not worth it. As for Costco, I let my membership go because I found better prices without the monster amounts of packaging in our WM & Superstore. I figured, if I wanted to hit the freeze-dry route that I’d pay for a unit to do it so I could at least have unlimited amounts and even sell it to make $.
Thanks Heidi! I wasn’t sure about Misfits Market but it seems from your dealings with them it may be worth it. Also appreciate your opinion of the other online companies. 💕from Ky.
Did a trial with thrive, they did not have bulk sizes, not sure they do now. Costco has less and less items I want 😔 Love Vitacost! Still have to try misfits.....
Yes, love how Vitacost sends those follow up emails about carts. Works good for our seldom used pantry items, that we want in small amounts. We love Simple Truth Organic things, well many of them, so Vitacost having almost all the dry goods makes the trek to the grocery store much less bulky.
Everything else is bought in bulk, yeah usually sub & save, during our cool weather pantry stock order per year. We had no idea there was a long term rice shortage around here, because we already had our rice. I worried about it for the next year, but during the few short winter months our bulk rice came back in stock. It's easier for us to have the constant pantry items already in our house when hot weather gets going. Same for things that would melt in transit, like chocolate. Azure Standard is one of those things I keep wishing was more accessible to use, for us, but at least we now have drop points in our state, so there is more of a chance one day to get there!
Oh yes!!! That Garofalo pasta is the bomb!!! I LOVE that stuff. My grocery store used to carry it and I got quite a few bags of it for 99 cents. It is delish and I am very picky about my pasta, or should I say my body is! I first tried the 1" spaghetti noodles on sale and was hooked. Used them in soup. I mostly have the Lumachine noodles as they were on sale. I jarred them up.Thank you for your awesome videos, full of great info!!!! I agree... GOD IS GOOD!!!
Thank you for your informative videos...I so happy I stumbled across your site...I'm trying to get back to a more natural lifestyle...I appreciate all the info
I stocked up on that very same vanilla almond butter when it came available through misfits market. I love it! I didn't realize that Vitacost sold so many food items until I saw one of your videos. I just placed an order with them. I have a Thrive market membership and I'm now trying to figure out how to not get so many deliveries from them. I wish they let you put your deliveries on hold or could opt to get them less frequently than monthly. They're not cheap! The banana almond butter was just OK; nothing to write home about. You are right there!
Also, check out Walmart online. I've been surprised at the stuff (organic and non-GMO) that I can order online, but my local stores don't carry. When placing online orders, I always at least check, and compare, the prices of several places.
I agree with you about Thrive. I ordered from them twice and did not feel their prices were that good. I will not be renewing my membership. I also love Vitacost and have been using them for years. They are owned by Kroger which is a big grocery chain you may not have in your area. Simple Truth is a Kroger brand and I love that brand. I also order a lot from Amazon. Today I have a delivery coming from Walmart. They do not have everything I use but they have a lot of good priced organic products. Thank you for this info and God bless you too.
Heidi blue is certainly a great color on you, it really flatters you, I haven't seen you wear it very often {I'm an artist & notice these types of things}. Thanks for the Vitacost tip, I hadn't realized they are a good source.
I am so glad you posted this- I haven't checked them out yet, but have been wondering. We do go to Sam's Club a few times a year, but I was interested in places that deliver, and I worried about the quality of what I would receive. I'll check out Misfits. Shalom, many Blessings!!
My neighbor has a Plus Membership with Sam's Club which includes free delivery of most items. The closest Sam's is 45 min away. She orders at least once a month and always calls me to see if I'd like to order with her. So blessed. I'm looking forward to checking into Misfits and did not know they carried other items besides produce. I love VitaCost for my Homeopathic remedies.
I buy quite a bit from thrive. I buy quite a bit from azure standard. I also get a few things occasionally through Allisons pantry. BUT… I live in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. My local grocery store doesn’t offer a lot of what I want and the closest Costco is almost 2 hrs away. My closest Walmart is 40 minutes away. So these several places work well for me 😊 thank you for all your amazing information
Thanks for the information Heidi. I probably won’t be purchasing from Thrive Market - I use Azure and Vitacost.
I tried it for a few months because we don't have a Costco but wasn't impressed. My local healthfood shops had same prices, so I perfer to shop local when I can
I agree with what you said about Thrive.
I just go to local stores. I live in L.A. which is a blessing and a curse. I like to see and touch what I buy. It's actually annoying that so much is being put on line and isn't available in the stores. I really am someday soon going to miss the many middle eastern, Korean, and Indian shops being so readily available. Then I might order on line. I do plan to find a spot quite in the sticks so I appreciate suggestions.
Yep, agree with everything you said
I ordered from Misfit through your code and ordered a few times.
I got the Maranatha Vanilla Almond Butter for dirt cheap $1.50 per jar. The almond oil in my area was $6. Such a great deal!!!
My produce has been excellent thus far from Misfit.
Thanks for the referral!
That is great, I am glad some poeple have had as good of dealings with them as I have. I know many have not as a lot of their food arrived in bad shape. That makes me feel bad that happened to them after my suggestion.
Looks like an interesting channel.. thanks.. will continue to watch
I've started to sign up twice at Thrive but backed out because I really don't want to have to pay for something I am not sure if I even would use it. I agree that not seeing prices and content before they take your money isn't right. Now I keep getting emails from them.
Consider marking their emails as spam so they go directly to your spam folder. You should also be able to unsubscribe from their emails so they do not come in at all
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks, I will try this.
Hello Hide I didn’t sign up with thrive market either for the same reason I like to see the prices before I pay my money for any thing
good topics today thanks for sharing this today
Misfits market finally are delivering to my area after waiting over a year. My first order comes this Friday.
I ordered veggie and meat.
God is good all the time. You and your vlog is an answered prayer. Yesterday, I came across Thrive Market when I was viewing a TH-cam vlog. Because of the membership fee, I prayed for God's guidance and waited. I saw one review, but I wasn't satisfied. Then I saw your vlog while I was in my prayer closet. Thanking God and you for such an informative review of the matter and for the additional reviews of 3 more markets.
I am glad this was helpful. I get frustrated with places, even those that I really love, that keep pushing places like that (it is because they get paid for every sign up through their referral link) but do not offer better cost comparisons to those who cannot afford to pay fees like that for such limited options and pricing that is no better than places without fees
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
I agree with you. I wish we could see it upfront. One other thing they do have though, that I was able to take a vantage of, was a free membership. So there as a free membership offered for people who can’t afford it right now. So that’s pretty awesome as well. And I only buy the things that are on major sale! LOL
Great ideas
I really like you are programs on TH-cam. You always have a smile and you show us how pick up Herbs and then make medicine that’s beautiful keep the faith.
Good to know!
I signed up and pre-paid and 30 minutes later cancelled. Not because of prices but the way they try to manipulate you.
Thank you for all your research ✝️👍
I started shopping at Vitacost after seeing one of your videos. I may have been this one. I really like them. We have several discount stores where we can get organic food and I try to go to one of them about once every 2 months. I was checking into Thrive Market again today and just did not like that I would have to pay for a membership, before I could see what they carry. I would like some freeze dried foods, but I think I will get them somewhere else. Thank you for such an informative video.
Dang I was trying to send you a picture of my first two gallons of wine I started. I’m not good with technology. Thank you for all the time you put into teaching us
TH-cam does not allow for photos and such in their comments the way other social media does but I do have an email address: raincountryhomestead@gmail.com
The thing I don't like about Thrive is actually the limited selection of products. I can get similar products at Trader Joe's or Costco (without the limitations) at much cheaper prices. Also, I have a hard time selecting stuff to buy at Thrive. I would never buy frozen items online and many times even produce is not worth it online as it goes bad by the time it arrives. Another thing is grocery shopping online is not easier at all.
I completely agree and was able to get my money back for the yearly plan! I find great deals at my local Grocery Outlets. Good job and God bless!
I have not been in a Grocery Outlet in years. I used to stop in those when we were visiting family, they are great. Funny thing is now there is one real close to the Costco 75 miles from here but I never think to stop in there. Mostly it is time. I hate going to town. We have an itinerary and I just want to get it done and get back home again. Days like that exhaust me!
@@RainCountryHomestead oh for sure! That was me growing up! 86 miles from town and you did EVERYTHING in one day and left home around 6 or 7a and got back around 8 or 9p. Lol!
I agree 100%! I have only found a few items at Thrive Market for a lower price than elsewhere. It’s a waste of your money. I get more items I purchase at Costco and Vitacost for much better prices. I just placed an order with Vitacost yesterday, and got an extra 20% off even most sell prices.
Fun fact: the add on your video for me was Thrive Market. 🤮
I like Hoosier Hill Farm products. Some are a little pricey, but I like the quality.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
THANK YOU! Finally someone said it! 👏👏👏
I figured with all the push for THRIVE that it was time SOME one did! haha
Thanks for the info re Thrive Market! You either like it or you don't...i will pass on that now. I like Vitacost and Amazon and Sam's Club. Great video with lots of info! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good morning Heidi!🌻
That pasta that you gets from Costco is the best pasta I've ever had! So much so that I finally got a membership.😀
Now that I have a new-to-me computer with an amazingly clear screen, I'm going to check into Misfits in my area. 😉
Blessings! 💜
If you enjoyed the cookie butter, you would probably love the cookie that inspired it! It's a Dutch treat called speculaas. Grew up on that there cookie, even put it on buttered bread for breakfast haha😍
Oh I love them cookies😁 have never seen them offered as cookie butter, but would not buy it anyway. Lady carries the cookies around Christmas then I will buy some, but they have 2 different brands and one is horrible.
In Florida used Misfit for 4-6months and wasn’t happy with veggies. Complained to and would be substituted all the time and not with edible produce. Love Butcherbox though! Thanks for talking about this.
I knew there were at least a couple of others out there so it is good there are other options to suit everyone :)
I love Thrive Market! I’ve been a member since they opened-but I did get a free lifetime membership. I don’t use a lot of items like flour fast enough to buy a lot in bulk, so I use thrive market for my everyday pantry. I do shop Costco and vita cost, but for certain things, like organic pasta sauce, organic pasta, coconut water and all the fresh stuff. I wanted to try Azure, but I’d have to drive 1 hr to pickup and then 10% to the local organizer. So I decided against that. You are correct, different retailers work well for different people. ❤️❤️
While I love Azure, it is the same for us in order to get free or reduced shipping we would have to drive that same distance to get it so I have to price things out according to weight plus shipping. Which is why some grains I buy on Amazon. The grains may be more there but I get "free shipping" so the price per pound for the hard white wheat grains comes out cheaper to order from Amazon but the oats are cheaper per pound, even with shipping, to buy from Azure
@@RainCountryHomestead Yes, I get the few bulk grains I buy at Costco or Amazon. For freshness, I just don’t buy a lot of grains in bulk-and the kinds of rice I tend to buy aren’t usually sold in bulk. Important thing is we have lots of options to find nutritious healthy food. 15 years ago I struggled to find all of these organic and healthy foods outside of specialty organic markets.
I also buy from thrive. How do you get a free lifetime membership? This is the one problem I'm having with them. I paid for my initial year membership and applied for the free year they offer and they turned me down! I applied under low income because we only live off one disability check a month and got turned down so they told me to apply for the free year under veterans status (my husband spent6 years in the Army. So I did and haven't heard back and it's been weeks! I've always been impressed with their service until now.
@@lr9152 I got my free membership through a subscription service I used to have. They were promoting Thrive Market, as it was new. They probably didn’t think it would still be around. And it was a limited subscription offer. But I’m so glad as I’ve used it so much! We had an organic market in our town and the prices were typically 30-50% higher than Thrive for the same product.
I hope you are able to get your free year. I often donate my savings in to help others get memberships. I love that they do that!
You can try using your affiliate link to offset your membership cost also. Every member has a referral code. Good luck!
That vanilla raw almond butter is great. I ordered one and they sent me two. I've been ordering from them for a year, and most of the produce has been good.
Thanks for sharing this information. I went to the site and put in my credit card info, but backed out before initializing my membership; we'll see if they actually billed me or not. For those of you on the fence, let me admit that I never checked their prices, so maybe the ~$60 is worth it.
Here's my take: Any business that wants to sign me up for a recurring charge is automatically suspect, and since at Thrive you can't even see their prices until you have already committed to paying the membership fee, they have pre-emptively lost my custom FOREVER, or at least for my next three lifetimes.... Any business that sells my info so that I can get even more spam in my inbox is downright shady in my book, and this outfit's "buy before you try" gimmick tells me that they don't truly believe that their prices are competitive, capisce?
My advice: Shop local for the stuff that's grown or produced where you live; this supports your community. If you're good at organizing, think about setting up a buying collective with those in your community to save on stuff that isn't locally produced.
Love Misfits - shipping is my problem in the heat of the summer and it does not show up until the ice is melted and some of my food has been bad - they are so good - they always refund anything I lost. Since I no longer go out in public for any reason because of the vaxxed (very dangerous to my system their shedding) it is great to have food on my front porch and some of their nongmo food is sooooo good compared to the gmo versions. The cooler weather is coming quickly here in TN and I will not have that problem soon. So, good.
Very informative video again - as always TY!
Yes! I last year at the height of the pandemic, even though we live in a tourist town and they were still coming and going during that time, very few people here got sick - in fact I do not know of anyone who for sure had the virus - and we had 0 deaths in our whole county. A year later with so many already vaccinated, people are getting sick here right and left and I know for sure some of them had been fully vaccinated and I feel pretty certain the unvaccinated that have contracted it got it from those who had been vaccinated. YET, the unvaxxed are getting all the blame even though the CDC even admits that the vaccinated are not only getting the virus, they are spreading it.
I cancled Thrive Market. I had it for a short time, but they kept not delivering my items saying my apartment number was missing, yet when I login my apartment number was there. And the items were not that impressive and I really was not saving much.
When I add oils to any recipe, I always use the same measurement, the cap, so if I was to add it, I would add the same amount as I did the other oils shown. Same goes with the dried herbs, I use equal amounts. However you can always add more or less of any one ingreidents, this recipe does not have to be exact
Thanks, beauty!
Finally someone saying they don’t like Thrive. There’s so many TH-camrs getting sponsored by them.
I also like Vitacost, Azure, and Costco. I’ve had some issues with two of my orders with Misfits Market, but this past order was awesome. I have also found great healthy buys at my local surplus discount store NPS.
Most of our items have been good, some, though not at all spoiled, just did not have a ton of flavor (peaches and nectarines) but no different than what we have bought at our local store many times and at least these items were organic. But, I just won't order those again and stick to the things I know are good like their red grapes. Been crazy about those and just pop them in the freezer as soon as we get them in to consume as a frozen snack
I'm with you on your opinion and experience with Thrive. My experience with the company is the same as yours. I can do better elsewhere. I don't understand why so many people promote Thrive.
That was the only reasons I decided to give them a try because so many seemed so happy with them and I was suprised at the pricing on their items, I expected them to be much better.
I totally agree.
I agree with so much of what you have to say. I also have been vacuum sealing everything for years.
I don’t know how to go to, but I seem to trust what you have to say. I bought a ton of grains (red and white hard wheat), beans, rice from Azure Standard, 25 pound bags, I’ve put everything into gallon freezer bags and put it in the deep freeze for up to a week. At first I took everything out of the freezer bags and put them on cookie trays to dry out even put some in the dehydrator. Then I read it wasn’t necessary, so I have bags everywhere ready to go into storage but I am concerned that they may have moisture in them coming right out of the freezer. I thought it would be OK to leave the freezer bags just come to room temperature and then put them into storage but now I’m not sure.
I emailed the Wheat Counsel but have not heard back from them. Thanks, Love your channel!
Any advice?
I always give my grains time to dry before packing away and in fact have a couple of bags I just pulled out of the freezer drying out now. I usually open the bags and then cover with a cloth to prevent dust and lint from getting into them and then try to stir them daily just to make sure all the moisture is gone.
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you, Heidi! It’s so nice to have some who answers questions and so quickly. I appreciate you and what you are doing.❤️
I loved all my items from Misfits. The only bad experience was trying to cancel once my garden started producing. I spent a lot of time on their site to find out how and where to cancel and tool 3 emails with no luck so weekly shipments came twice which they charged- no refund but I finally went on live chat and then it was solved. I don't like when companies make it confusing OR difficult to cancel.
I thought there was a place that you could simply pause your shipments for a time? I guess I need to look into that again
Yes you can pause or skip any order, I do find their site hard to navigate sometimes too. With their newest improvement the box won’t ship unless you add $30 or more.
Passing on them too then. I like clear, upfront honesty or at least competence.
Amazingly the ad before your intro was Thrive Market
Yep, youtube bots make that happen based on key words
Thrive Market is Uber-Woke and so proud of it. We have parted ways. Thanks for talking about Misfits. I’ll check them out.
Why do you say that?
These are excellent suggestions! I live out East... I've been finding organic food pantry items at Big Lots and Ocean State Job Lot if those are stores in your area. Big Lots does a 25% extra off 4 times a year. Job Lot does "crazy deals" when you buy certain items you get that amount back in crazy cash which can be used at Job Lot to buy more stuff. Slightly gimmicky but I've actually gotten a lot of good items. Maybe others out eat would be interested.
I have only seen a Big Lots and it is about 60 miles from here. We only get into town a couple times a year. I was really impressed with the Big Lots (went there once years ago) and I do not remember any food in it then.
@@RainCountryHomestead they have many different food items & I believe they take food stamps. God bless.
Wow it's more at Walmart to that is a good deal for that almond butter
I like I herb. They don’t have everything thing you’ll need, but what they do have (I think) is reasonable. Free shipping over 20 dollars and no yearly fee.
I love VitaCost, Misfit is location based for the best. Thrive is expensive to me. Wish I could learn to bake this year. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. It's truly priceless ❤
I bailed on Thrive too. I do shop at Costco, Azure Standard and Vitacost. I will have to check out Misfits.
All the Time ...GOD is GOOD
Agree, 1 year later and the site did not allow to see the products before signing up! This is why I did not sign up.

Thank you Edie for always watching and commenting. This really helps our channel
@@RainCountryHomestead ysvw, I love the channel. I hope you get credit for the ones I watch 2 and 3 times too
I love misfits, I’m very flexible with food so I eat what I get. They have seasonal fruits and vegetables.
I'm with you on Thrive Thrive Market. That upfront fee turned me off and the sizes of the products left much to be desired. I do better at Whole Foods and Costco.
I clicked on your video and immediately a Thrive Market ad came on....LOL!
Yep, youtube does that! haha
You must live in the Good part of Washington, not in the Puget Sound 👍 where I live. Getting my house sold soon.
We live on the wettest side, 3 times more rain that your area and 12 times more rain from where I grew up in the Wenatchee area
@@RainCountryHomestead uh ha I see, I have many relatives that live in Gray's Harbor at Copalis Crossing, many of my relatives there used to be loggers, but my cousins no longer work in that industry.
Yes lots of rain near and in the rain forest. Love your channel by the way.
I'm not a fan of Misfit. I started receiving a monthly package and, as far as veggies were concerned, summer squash were broken, smashed tomatoes, some things were just gross. Now, as a disclaimer, I live in Maine and I think it just happened because I live far enough away that the packaging just wasn't good enough and the boxes were juggled around too much. Since then, I have my own veggies now and many people selling (or giving away) their extras on the side of the road.
I think there are many factors when it comes to location: the way boxes are handled by certain carriers. Around here we have excellent carriers for FedEx and UPS - at least the local guys. They never just toss your stuff from 20 feet away to your front porch as I have seen in home security videos. Then, as you said, some may have to travel further distances, and some have to travel through extreme heat, which we have only had a three day stretch of that through our whole summer. The rest of our summer has been very cool and in fact for hte past two weeks, I keep thinking I should build a fire as it has been so cold in the house.
Same here! Only I didn’t complete the sign up looked to expensive to me ..I don’t like clubs
Great shopping info! FYI.....Trader Joe's is NOT a health food store...never has been. I have been shopping there since the get-go in 1967. TJoe's is a 'specialty grocer' like Gelson's and Bristol Farms..,but not as high end/gourmet. 💖🍓🌽🥕
Yeah, I later realized that. I had been led to believe they were. Only been there one time since there is not one near us
I will never physically meet you I'll see you in person neither do I want to but I have to say your delivery your natural delivery your aviance you look your sheer confidence is absolutely superb and I am smitten.
