Is Thrive Market Worth It?

Here are some reasons to use Thrive Market.

No Red 40

Kid-approved snacks with no artificial flavors or synthetic colors.

Free Gifts

The membership includes full-size samples offered with your orders, often worth around $20.

EBT

They now accept SNAP EBT and advertise that they gift memberships to low-income families.

Generous Referral Program

Your friends get 40% off their first order, and you get $40 Thrive Cash to use on groceries.

Allergy and Specialty Diet Filters

This is the most convenient feature for me, since my family has multiple food issues. The search filter is realiable, unlike Walmart's or others I've used.

Affordable Prices

Their prices are often the same or cheaper than local stores for me. I've never tried it, but they offer a price-match guarantee. And you can get affordable organic wine shipped to your door. Shipping is free for grocery orders over $49, under $49 ships for $5.95.

What a $50 Order Looks Like

Here's an order I recently placed. It was $51.38. Shipping was free. These were pantry staple items I had sitting in my cart in case I was sent gift offer I wanted to accept. The box of 10 bags of Mushroom Hot Cacao Mix was the free gift.

This is what I've paid for Thrive Market items:

Thrive Market Referral

Thrive Market says it will give you 40% off your first order, and I should get $40 off my next order if you use my referral link.

Thrive Market Imperfections

Shipping

Sometimes shipping isn't so consistently fast, but they usually try to make it right when that happens.
Plastic

Lots of packaged food without bulk options.
Limited Frozen and Fresh Options

You will likely still want to pickup fresh fruit and veggies in town. They have decent meat options, but their frozen foods are mostly organic. Thrive Market does not ship fresh produce.
