It is convenient and the variety on offer is very good. It carries my favorite snacks and will present healthier options to replace the usual junk food. I found the site when I started scrambling for online food shopping and have consistently ordered from them without any problems.

I understand that not everybody can afford to shop here and I appreciate Thrive allowing us to donate at checkout. I hope they extend it.

This isn't my go-to for shopping, because I'm not yet convinced organic products are worth the extra money. However, for those who don't live 5 minutes away from a grocery store or have particular dietary restrictions (necessary or assumed), Thrive could be a great option. You can filter by restrictions or values, and they have quite a few options for quite a few of those categories. I shop for someone who can't eat dairy, and there have been life-changing solutions discovered here. (Okay, maybe that's a little over-dramatic, but it's been huge.)

Thrive has a lot more than just packaged food, too. They have household supplies of all sort in addition to clean wines and even frozen (presumably--I've not ordered it before) meat. This could, conceivably, replace grocery store trips if enough planning is done.

However, I do buy a lot of superfluous, snacky things that I wouldn't buy otherwise. I'm not diligent enough to know if the annual fee is worth the savings. A plus, though, is that every membership purchased results in one being donated to someone in need. You can also donate your savings, or a portion thereof, from every order to help those in need.

I really wanted to like it. I wanted to like it because it's one less thing to do on my list, running to the store. I wanted to like it because it's healthier options. I wanted to like it because "it's cheaper".
I just signed up two days ago and I'm sadly not impressed. Maybe it's just the timing, with the shutdown happening. Maybe Thrive is busier than normal. I don't know but 8/10 times I'd search for something it wasn't available, the more expensive version was. Seemed to be out of A LOT. Also, I don't find it to be much cheaper than the stores. I'm not sure if you're comparing prices to a different location, but I think it's more expensive than stores around me.

Wanted to like it. :(

I haven't tried the powder yet l! I'll write again But, The order had my shipping at $5.95 which is probably what it will cost to ship my small tooth powder order. It would not let me process without answering yes or no to your membership and agreeing to $9.95 shipping! Kind of a rip off. I don't mind paying my actual shipping charges. I should not be punished for wanting to purchase from you without being a member! It's $5! But it is a principle matter!

The thing I like most about Thrive Market is that they give free memberships to people in need. I also love that they have a lot of healthier options that I cannot usually find in the store. I do wish the website/app was a little more user friendly, but that, honestly, could just be me not knowing 100% how to use it to its full extent yet. I think everyone should try it for the first time. If you're a person in need, a teacher, etc. there are ways to get a free membership. I think it's definitely worth looking into. I had an issue during this whole pandemic with my order not showing up and they apologized and gave me a gift card to the website, as well as $10 Thrive Market dollars. Also, they gave me 20% on my recent order so I only paid $2.37 in total.
