Grove Collaborative Subscription Box Review + Coupon – May 2018

Grove Collaborative

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

BUT FIRST

Some throwback pictures as per request of Squeakette!

Grove Co 2016 Order: Early bird gets a tutu and subscription box! Look at that excitement in unboxing! We start them out early here 😉

Grove Co 2017 Order: Squeakette smiling ear-to-ear because she thinks this kitchen sink brush is really a giant toothbrush!

*Sniff Sniff* So wee. She is still wee but not as wee as she used to be!

so NOW let us indulge our little assistant!

I give you SQUEAKETTE!!!

Acure Organics – Seriously Soothing Micellar Water Towelettes

Acure Organics – Seriously Soothing Micellar Water Towelettes

I believe I ordered these back last year when Birchbox gave $5 in points for 48 hours to ACEs (sigh… back in the review points days). I digress, I actually got this up in queue for when I wear makeup since I use a towelette first before cleansing. Grove Co kindly price matched a competitor’s online price when I sent them the link which I LOVE (said in Oprahish voice)!!!

Onderria!!! Mice water towelettes!

 

Seventh Generation – Granite & Stone Cleaner in Mandarin Orange (I bought 2)

Seventh Generation – Granite & Stone Cleaner in Mandarin Orange (I bought 2)

Squeakette thinks I have too many Seventh Generation Granite & Stone Cleaners and she may be right. BUT I tried to get these last month and Grove Co was out. Then I went to the Amazon and it was outrageously priced. Then, because I REALLY like this product and cannot find something comparable (yet), I went to two box stores (and almost forgot to look for it but remembered and left my husband and squeakers waiting at the checkout line) and NOTHING. So I feared that this product was discontinued and I was sad. But luckily, Grove Co restocked and I just got two. currently I would have to do Amazon Pantry but Pantry is too complicated with inventory Tetris so I am on the lookout in the meantime for another substitute in case this does disappear from the market.

Anyone got any specific (not vinegar scented) stone cleaner recommendations?

Grove Collaborative 

VERDICT:

I am not sure whether this is a Grove Co affect but since January (after I wrongly skipped December), I have consistently cleaned the dining room table and kitchen countertops on a nightly basis (for the most part)!!! Like I think I am in “habit” level. I am slowly trying to incorporate the bathroom countertops and condo entrance to the routine….

This is all I can do consistently now for I have four “interior decorators” that each have their own opinions on how I “decorate”.

 

Grove Co = My monthly cleaning motivation.

Because even Amazon Save & Subscribe doesn’t motivate me.

    Ugh, LOVE the Squeakette progression photos!!! Also, love that she rolled up in her car and was like “let’s do this, mom.”

      Thanks for commenting Onderria 🙂 Squeakette is a riot that’s for sure! I still can’t believe that I (with her help) have been reviewing Grove Co for three years!!!

    I LOVE the Squeakette photos! She is adorable! As are all of your Pnut people. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years!!

    Having “fun”/nice smelling cleaning products certainly makes cleaning more bearable. I have a Mrs. Meyer’s Honeysuckle cleaner that I got from Grove Co. It almost makes cleaning the bathroom enjoyable. I actually used to like cleaning until I got overwhelmed with laundry, work, and adulting in general.

      Thanks LC! Squeakette and company adores their fans 😉
      Used to like cleaning lol I always disliked it (well until after the fact and getting that good feeling when everything was clean)!
      You do have a point on the aromatherapy it definately helps! My favorite Mrs. Meyers is Peony but I heart Honeysuckle it reminds me of walking to/from elementary school in the spring and helping myself to nectar from an overflowing Honeysuckle bush from a park fence.
