the bugs were out. I can tell by the way they are scratching up the lawn
in various locations without any satisfied looks. None of the usual
clucking, "I've got one," which leads to the inevitable chase around the
yard by the other birds hoping to steal the bug from the silly bird who
didn't know when to keep quiet.
Well, I was just musing today about not telling my friends and family
about a great online site I've found for purchasing my supplements and
even some of our organic food items. So, I think I've kept my quiet too
long!!! I placed an order today and patted myself on the back for my
great savings, then thought, "I should share this site so others can get
some great deals too." The roosters are good at this. When they find a
good source for bugs in the yard, they actually stand up tall and start
a special cackling to call all the ladies to the treasure.
So, here goes my cackling and calling my friends to the treasure:
The site is http://www.iherb.com <http://www.iherb.com/> a.k.a iHerb.
I've been ordering from them for over a year now and love their
discounts and fast service. I've never had a problem with wrong orders,
missing items, or anything. I actually messed up an order and was able
to call and get it fixed before they shipped it too!
The way iHerb works, you get incremental discounts based on the size of
your order. So, if the Vit E that you usually get downtown has an iHerb
price 10% cheaper before you put it in the cart, it will be an even
cheaper price when you put it in the cart. Right now, as a VIP customer,
my first level discount is 10%. So, if my Vit E was 9.00 instead of the
downtown price of 13.00, I know it will be another .90 cheaper when
added to the cart. Many of my items are $2-$10 cheaper here. Plus, if
you order over $60 BEFORE THE DISCOUNTS, the UPS shipping is FREE!!!
Gotta love that. Even if you don't get to $60, the shipping is $4 (with
other options available at a higher price). I can't drive to the health
food store for $4. They also offer many options in sizes and brands.
Almost everything I can get at the health food store, I can get at iHerb
cheaper.
Another benefit of iHerb is the information. They have very detailed
info about each item they sell, including the full list of ingredients
and potency. They also give info about uses, benefits and warnings. I
use the iHerb site to check different supplement uses even if not
purchasing them. A nice, concise encyclopedia of supplements, which was
very important when we were trying to find fluoride free toothpaste, as
well as many other items. They recently added food items to their
offerings. I now get my Periobrite toothpaste, Arrowhead Mills peanut
butter through them, as well as Braggs organic vinegar and other food
items I used to buy at the store. New items are being added all the time.
I order many things online, but this is a site that I've really come to
rely on for our budget and health. So, it is time I shared it. There was
also a nice nudge from the company to share when they provided me with a
coupon code to give my friends and family a gift of $5 off their first
order as part of a new referral program they have started. If you use
this coupon code - KES097 - at the checkout, you will get $5 off your
first order from iHerb (not valid if you are already a customer). The
person who told me about iHerb just had free shipping to lure me to try
the site. Of course, if you don't have a first order that is $60 or
more, this coupon code will more than cover the shipping.
While at iHerb, check out the links at the top of the page for specials
and even FREE sample items. These are full size samples. This month I
have 2 types of cereal, a new Vit E to try and a Green Tea drink coming
as samples. I'm excited to get them and try them.
Now, my conscience is clear. I am no longer hoarding or keeping the
goods secret for myself, but sharing willingly with friends. And none of
us have to play chase around the yard. :-) I hope you get the
opportunity to try iHerb and enjoy it as much as I have. So, before
someone sticks there head out the door and tells me to keep it down
(like I do for the over zealous chickens), I'll put my head back down
and go back to work.
Have a great, blessed day and stay warm!
PS - if you can't use the coupon code, feel free to pass it on to
friends. I do get referral bonuses that decrease the price of my items
even more. If you do order from iHerb, you will get your own coupon code
to share with friends, and earn your own referral bonuses.
