    Also with Thrive Market you have to purshase $50 worth of pantry stuff for free shipping and for the freezer food you have to purshase $120 worth of stuff if you don't then you have to pay a $20 shipping fee!

    I 100% agree with having to sign up just to look at their products that is absolutely stupid. However, I’m gonna have to keep shopping on thrive because I need to eat these healthier foods and be able to order it online because I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis so it’s very difficult for me to go to the store. Thanks for the review. When I can go to the store, it’s always Whole Foods and Costco

    I signed up last summer and purchased the annual membership and its very useful due to my work schedule can get demanding in the spring and summer in my line of work. Love the snacks, gluten free pasta, kumbucha and taco seasoning. The grocery stores near my apartment is a crapshoot and "everything has to be picture perfect". Its mostly dollar and convience stores/gas stations and fast food inmy neighborhood. After the Lidl in walking distance from my place close over a year ago and the next closest location is at least 2 1/2 miles out. I initially had to make trips to the farmer's market (15 minutes on foot give or take) to get similar food but mostly expensive when I moved to my current place in 2010 which at the time I had to gravitate towards Family Dollar (just down the street from my place and has a high employee turnover) if I want something on the cheap and fast. If I want something healthy for the home and at a reasonable price, its Aldi, Lidl, Trader Joe's or use of grocery delivery services like Thrive or Imperfect Foods.

    Haha it just hit me that even if things are “cheaper” on Thrive you’re still paying the same amount you would in store or delivered like Instacart bc those don’t require to pay for a membership. So it’s like that technically goes to the extra amount that is “more expensive” elsewhere. Well played Thrive, well played.

    • @moneywithpriscilla
      @moneywithpriscilla  3 місяці тому +2

      The membership price is definitely something to factor in! I guess it all depends on how often one would purchase in order to make it worth the cost.

A little sprouted grain bread, eggs, some chicken, pork, red meat and a lot of fish. Whole food mediterranean style of eating that I can buy almost anywhere. Not a big snacker.

    It annoys me that I cannot price compare without joining. Whether it is a rip off depends on your needs, for some time or mobility or transportation is the reason they join so it is person dependent issue. I wonder how it compares to other food delivery or even Kroger/Walmart with a person picking up the order for you. The only online food service is something that is bulk Honeywell (vital wheat gluten for seitan) or Public Goods. Have you tried Public Goods? Thank you so much for the video and doing the math.

      Why can’t Healthy Food subscriptions like Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, Factor etc be more like Thrive Market? Instead of charging weekly, they should charge a month or yearly with cheep prices like $12 a month or $5 a month yearly

    • @eileenmcdonald1599
      @eileenmcdonald1599 Місяць тому

      Wal-Mart will delivery. Many items that need to be shipped are free shipping. The grocery items are delivered free if the total is over 35 dollars. Yes the yearly membership fee is about 100.00 so depending on your needs it can be a big savings and helpful if you have mobility issues. And you can get paramount plus to stream.

Using thumbnails that give the impression that it's a scam, when it's actually a push to sell a product. Just because it works and a lot of creators do it, doesn't make it right. Always being straight-up honest with buyers will keep they're trust and loyalty. Just sayin.

Their name is an oxymoron. You can't thrive at their prices.
