Box: Grove Collaborative (this link gives you $10 and me $10 when you sign up)!
Contents: Curated and/or self-selected eco-friendly products such as Cleaning, Laundry, Hand and Body, Face and Hair, Kids, Scent Free, Oral Care, etc. to ship when you want it (monthly and/or on demand)! Some of the Brands carried are Seventh Generation, Acure Organics, Method, Mrs. Meyers, Molly’s Suds, and house brand Grove Collaborative.
Cost: Price of your items (usually discounted) plus $2.99 shipping (waived if you are a VIP member see more details below).
Kick Back and Get Comfortable:
I LOVE the service that Grove Collaborative offers. Every item that I received was either a promotional free item or discounted. I will keep a lookout for more promos and let you know! Most of the products that I bought were not found on discount via my beloved Amazon. Because I wanted to avoid passing Target and paying $200, we would buy our cleaning products on Home Depot (which were not discounted at all).
We all know how I want to save money in the comfort of my own home.
I found signing up was easy. Grove Collaborative asks a few questions and then curates a box for you. You can then feel free to delete and add items as you wish.
There is a $2.99 shipping charge BUT if you sign up for VIP status, the shipping fee is waived! So while you are shopping look into the VIP trial because you receive free shipping for two months and then you pay $19.99 for a year. In addition to VIP status, you will receive freebies amounting to five (5!) full size items within a year so $19.99 pays for itself in (1) free shipping, (2) five full size items and (3) the already discounted savings on items purchased!!! And if you forget to add the VIP trial to your order (like I did) the VIP trial option appears after you place your first order. And then if you forget that, I am sure the awesome customer service will take of you!
Once you make an order you can set up to change when you want your next delivery and what products you want for that delivery. Grove Collaborative will send advance email reminders and a text reminder (if you give your cell) when a monthly box is scheduled so you can make any modifications to that order. Also a week after you sign up, you will be able to “purchase now” if you need something now.
Note on Customer Service:
Not only is customer service awesome, make sure you look under the customer service representative’s signature because there might be a link with a coupon to one of their favorite products. You know me and codes and coupons.
I also was recently sent an email blast from Grove Collaborative with some points that they wanted their customers to be aware of and if you are not happy with a product they will compensate you! How awesome is that!?!
An other awesome plus is that if there is a promo for new customers, Grove Collaborative usually also rewards continuing customers with a promo as well!
Codes and/or Coupons for new and continuing customers = A Happy and Loyal Pnut
Price Matching Deets:
I noticed when I was stalk tracking my Grove Co box one of their advertisements on the tracking page was for the VIP program features. One of the features was “price matching”!
Online Price Matching be still my heart!!!
As always, the second weeist of my Pnut people, Squeakette, wants me to get started on the review
so let us indulge our little assistant!
METHOD Kitchen Gel Handwash in Clementine
Not a baby but Squeakette tends to cradle anything petite and cute. This METHOD Kitchen Gel allegedly takes away garlic and onion hand smell and that marketing suckered me into buying this. It smells like a juicy clementine. Like it will make your mouth water and buy fruit next time you go to the food store good. It pumps thick and clear not white and foamy. The pump is nice for the kitchen too you can slam your hand pad down on the pump and it will not tip over.
I think it works *heavily huffs hands* It smells nice and it lingers.
SCHMIDT’S Deodorant Stick in Lavender + Sage
Squeakette thinks I buy too much deoderant and she may be right…
But Squeakette its a different scent and it was on sale (the current one I use was not on sale)! I need to branch out Squeakette. I love the lavender scent (I think the sage brings out the lavender I can’t quite smell it) and I hope this works as well as the other Schmidt deodorant.
Because if it doesn’t. Well “Schmidt”!
AURA CACIA Lavender Essential Oil
Repeat purchase (and price-matched to boot)! Even though its uses essential oil of the whole lavender plant, I like the scent and wanted to switch it up.
You know from lavender to lavender. I am so daring with my diffuser.
Momma there is something in the corner here…
I can’t quite get it…
BRAGG Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
I bought this because I always forget to look for this when I go out in the world. Plus there are a million and one reasons to have this in our lives. I need to refer to YouTube for the million and one reasons why because I forgot lol.
We just need this because YouTube/Pinterest.
Here we go momma!
GROVE COLLABORATIVE Mint & Argan Lip Balm (Small Oval)
I received this as my quarterly VIP gift (it’s no candle I know Grove gave those out before *hint hint if you are reading this Grove*. It’s your standard lippy nothing special but I think oval lippies are cool.
I gave this to Pipsqueak so she can start her own natural lippy army from subscription boxes.
VERDICT:
New finds and one standby. A good order in my book!
Spoiler for next month:
Lemon essential oil may be in my future.
Why did I click on a friend’s Facebook video on the power of lemon essential oil!?!

Another fantastic Grove Collab review by Pnut and Squeakette! Thank you!
XOXO Thanks Heat!
I’ll have to add the soap and apple vinegar to my next order. Squeakette is adorable!
Thanks for commenting Sub Bella! Do you do essential oils in diffusers or just candles? My candle stash is getting depleted looking forward to Next By Nest in July our fav scent! Also OOTBS is selling all three of its June boxes for $60 if you are interested. I am wavering…
I can’t wait for the July Next by Nest!!! I started my three month sub in May. I was surprised that I hated the May bamboo scent which bothered my allergies. I could not open the box without sneezing. Loved June’s Grapefruit scent. I am hoping that they will include the soap or lotion in July’s box as the third item. Can’t wait!!!
That is my last box in the three month sub.Looks like I will be resubscribing in September for another three months.
I did look at OOTBS. I would do it if it wasn’t floral scents.I am wondering if the warning that FF gives because it is an unsecured login is hurting their sales.
Ohhhhhh I stand corrected I would LOVE it if they had the soap in July’s box!
You reminded me that I have some tarts from the OOTBS I bought in March and I should use them. I squirrelled them somewhere though….
