If you haven’t heard about Thrive Market, you might be living under a rock. LOL I’m kidding, but it does seem to kind of be everywhere right now! I know when I first heard of it, I had a million questions.
Have you heard of Thrive Market? I know when I first heard about it, I wondered what the hype was all about. Was it a scam? Could I really save money? Did they really have healthier options that most stores? Was it just going to be another useless membership? Would they really have products I love CHEAPER than my local grocery stores? Do the discount codes really work?
And listen y’all, I am the QUEEN OF SKEPTICS! I ask all the questions and I do not give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the money I make. Lol I work hard for my money and I’m uptight about how I spend it. It’s an issue I’m working on, to be honest. But that’s another story!
Anyways, so back to Thrive Market! I’ve shared about it before on Instagram and I’ve gotten several questions so I wanted to write a blog post that addressed some of the most common questions people ask me and the questions I had when I was first considering a Thrive Market membership.

Common Questions
- What is Thrive Market?Thrive Market is an online grocery membership. You pay an annual fee to be able to order groceries delivered right to your door! I think of it as like an Amazon Prime grocery membership. They sell shelf-stable foods, as well as cold/frozen foods, meat, wine, baby products, cleaning products, pet products, and so much more!
- What is different about Thrive Market than your local grocery store?Thrive offers tons of healthier, cleaner brands for cheaper than most any grocery store! I know I have been trying to intentionally choose healthier brands and cleaner products and I have seen my grocery bill skyrocket. One reason I love Thrive is that they do offer better deals on the products my family needs and wants. Getting those products delivered straight to my door within a few days makes it even better!
- Do I have to pay a monthly fee?Thrive offers a monthly or annual subscription. So you can try it out on a month to month basis for $12 per month, or you can choose the annual membership for $59.95 a year. The best part is: they guarantee you will make back this annual membership in savings each year and if you don’t, they pay you in Thrive Cash. 🙂
- Is there a minimum monthly order requirement?There are no order minimums or requirements to keep your membership. You can order as often or as little as you like. I tend to order at least twice a month.
- Can I cancel at any time?Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time.
- Is auto-ship required?Auto-ship is NOT required but it is offered on most items so you can receive them automatically at a discounted rate every 4 weeks, 6 weeks, etc. You get to choose the frequency that works best for your family but this is NOT required. You can just purchase items when you need them. This is what I do and it works great for my family.
Favorite Thrive Market Products
Annie’s Bunnies
These are a great alternative to those addictive little fish crackers! My toddler loves his “bunnies” just as much as he loved those fish. But the ingredients are cleaner and mama is happier! We order the boxes as well as individual packs for when we are on-the-go.
Primal Kitchen Sauces
My family loves these clean, low sugar sauces! They are much cheaper at Thrive Market than my local grocery stores and you can usually earn Thrive Cash (free money) when ordering them to use on future purchases! Win-win!
Taco & Ranch Packets
I sometimes make my own taco and ranch seasoning, but it’s also nice to have these on hand when I’m feeling lazy! These both taste amazing and I love that there are no scary ingredients in them like MSG or maltodextrin like you typically see in other brands.
Late July Chips
My family LOVES all things Late July, but especially their organic chips! These are even better than those brands you are used to, but with much cleaner ingredients so you can feel good about what you are snacking on!
Other Tips and Tricks
- Wait to order until you have a coupon! They will often text/email you 15%-20% off coupons for your orders. You can save by doing auto-ship on certain items but this is not required. I usually just add things to my cart and wait until I have a good coupon to stock up again.
- They give free gifts! Add items to your cart and wait to order until they send you a good coupon code and/or there’s a free gift offer that you really want!
So, hopefully that clears up a lot of questions you had! If you want to give it a try, be sure to use this link to receive 40% off your first order!
