Vitacost--- Save $10 today!

I love to save money.

I also love homeopathic remedies, all natural/homemade household products, clean eating.... you get the idea.

My aunt had been telling me about Vitacost being the best place to buy the protein powder we use.

I seriously had just been too lazy to get on there.

Then, a few weeks/months ago, I got this terrible sinus crud. My SIL told me to buy Echinacea at the local herb shop and Vitamin D. So, I did.

I spent $55 and I had enough Echinacea/ Golden Seal to hopefully get me through my horrible cold and enough Vitamin D for a year if I used it daily. Still, dropping $55 wasn't easy and I knew we would need another bottle of Echinacea.

ECHINACEA (EK e nay sha) is an herbal product or dietary supplement. It is promoted to help support the body's natural defense systems. It is commonly promoted for colds or sore throats caused by cold viruses. It aids in supporting the immune system. Use during season changes to help boost the immune system.

Goldenseal is an herb that you can purchase over the counter. You can take it to kill bacteria from and infection. It is also used to reduce inflammation in your body.

The bottle I bought had 100 capsules that were 400mg per serving. I paid $29 for my bottle. You are supposed to take 2 capsules 3x a day and Brent was needing some. The bottle I bought from Vitacost cost me roughly $10.50 (I had a coupon code to save 15%) had 180 capsules that were 450mg per serving. Talk about a much better deal!!! I was so excited, I did a happy dance!

The same Vitamin D (different brand, same thing though) I bought (which technically, I shouldn't need for a year or half a year if Brent and I use it daily- which we don't) cost me $20 at the Herb Shop and is $9.99 at Vitacost.

Vitamin D, often called the “sunshine vitamin,” is an important nutrient. Its active form, called calcitriol, behaves like a hormone in the body. The body can produce 10,000 IU or more of vitamin D with little as 10 to 15 minutes of exposure to summer sunlight.

The presence of vitamin D receptors throughout the body hints at the importance of the vitamin. Research shows that vitamin D plays a crucial role in the health of the immune system, brain, heart and blood vessels, among other organs and systems.

By the way, my concoction that my SIL gave me was a pack of Emergen-C, mixed with one drop of Vitamin D. Take the Echinacea/Goldenseal with that--- Take the Emergen-C and Echinacea 3x a day, the Vitamin D only once a day. It cleared me up the first time in 2 days and recently I started sniffing, sneezing, water eyes, coughing crud again. I took religiously for 3 days and rested and it was gone in 3 days! I also supplemented with 4-8oz water, 1 Tbsp raw honey, 1 Tbsp ACV, and a dash of cinnamon.

Now, for the raw honey. That can cost you an arm and a leg. Check out Vitacost for that too.

I had been purchasing mine from Ingles and would get 16oz for $10. 

I bought mine there recently:

I got 22oz for around $6 (because of my coupon code).

We also generally spend about $60+ on our protein powder and I found what we buy there for $47 (coupon code again and it was on sale.)

Then, I started washing my face with Castor Oil and Olive Oil. Can I just say that I LOVE it so far. My breakouts have been minimal (I literally started my period 2 days later and it said to give a week for your skin to adjust) or less and my face is baby smooth. I am loving it. Now, you need pure, cold-pressed castor oil for this. No Wallie World stuff. I bought mine off..... VITACOST. I know you are super surprised ;-) It cost me about $8.

Now, one of the best things about this website is: if you spend over $49, you get free shipping. Since they offer SO much that you most likely would be buying anyways, that is not hard to do, AND you are saving money. 

If you spend less than $49, they calculate it off of weight and my sister just bought quite a bit of stuff and her shipping was $5. It's not bad shipping.

Once you sign up with the website, they will send coupons alllllllllll the time for various things. That is how I received my 15% off coupon, BUT! If you order and spend over $30, then you could save $10 on the spot, which is what I saved with my coupon code, by using my email address (abby.wilkey@gmail.com). AND-- you save me $10 on my next order. You have to use the code on your first order with the company and you must start off by registering (details below). Once you do that, you can share your email address with all your friends and family and earn $10 for yourself off each order with as many $10 credits as you get. No cutoff! That is just too good of a deal NOT to use! Already ordered from Vitacost in the past? Use a different email and get $10 off your next your. (Now, use a legit email, like your hubby's. LOL).

When you go to the website, start out by registering so that you will receive the deal, you will click on their DEAL category on the far right.  The first little box with say, "Refer a Friend They Get $10, You Get $10". Click on that box. That will lead you to a place with 2 green boxes on the right side. The bottom green box says, "Did Someone Refer You Click Here". Click there and type in my email address which I'll give again: abby.wilkey@gmail.com

Have a smart phone, there is an app for that ;-) Although, I do not know how to tell you to use my email address from the app to save. So, log onto the computer first and follow the above steps to save on your order. You only have one chance to register with your email address to save that $10.

Have fun and if you find a super good deal, share it with me! I may not have searched for that product yet :-)
