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!
Squeakette apologizes for the delay. Squeakette took some toddler sick days. It was an half sick day today she was up to be on-duty for the unboxing.
“Momma, why is this box bigger this month?”
In a twist, I go from having my Grove Co “essential oil” monthly subscription box turn into fall necessity subscription box.
Seventh Generation Toilet Bowl Cleaner
I know I have been sucked in by the Clorox commercials but I am plainly fed up with the smell and needed to switch it up. I looked on all the toilet cleaners that Grove Co had and since they were all around the same pricepoint then I choose the heaviest one (32 ounces) to get the most bang for my clam.
I don’t think this clear gel cleaner had a scent. I think it was amazing that the spout did not leak like crazy and it was not a pain to squeeze the gel into that hard to reach toilet area. I was really expecting some kind of leakage and was pleasantly surprised. This is going to last a long time.
I wonder whether I should overcompensate for the effectiveness of this product and douse the toilet with this cleaner because if I don’t it will be at the house indefinitely like a tub of Vaseline.
Because you never know when you need cheesecloth. And I ran out of cheesecloth. I told my husband we would use it one day. So here is my new cheesecloth.
Because everyone needs cheesecloth in their home.
Radius Vegan Dental Floss in Mint
I needed some floss and wanted to try the mint for a change. To be boring. It was nice. I will go back to the berry one just because i am all fancy.
I am so boring at times I need to fancy it up by using berry dental floss. I live life dangerously I know.
VERDICT:
A necessity month brought to me by Grove Co. Stay tuned next month when I reconvert my Grove Co box into an Essential Oil subscription box service.
Nothing like a monthly subscription box that motivates me to clean. That is priceless. The motivation to clean part.
