What is Thrive Market?
Thrive Market is a membership-based online retailer offering an array of natural, organic, and non-GMO grocery items as well as wine, household products, supplements, beauty/bath/body products, and more at discounted prices.
Is there a membership fee?
Yes, an annual membership to Thrive Market is $60 per year which equates to $5 per month.
There is also a monthly membership available for $9.95 per month.
As you can see, it is less expensive to purchase the yearly membership.
According to the Thrive Market website, if you don't make back your annual membership fee in savings, they will credit you the difference in "Thrive Cash" upon renewal.
Thrive Cash is a credit to your account and is applied to your next purchase which must be used within 60 days upon issuance as per the Thrive Market website.

Is Thrive Market worth it?
In my opinion, Thrive Market is absolutely worth it for me and my family.
As a person who shops for mainly vegan and gluten-free grocery items, I love the selection of these products available all in one place.
When shopping in person for the same items, I typically have to visit two to three stores to get everything on my list.
I also find that the products I am purchasing typically cost more in the physical stores, such as Publix and Whole Foods, unless one of the stores is having a special sale.
I personally have been a satisfied customer since joining in July 2019.
One of the things I love is that you can use the shop by diet feature to make your online shopping experience more convenient and personalized.
You can shop by diets such as gluten-free, keto, paleo, vegan, etc.

And you can reuse the boxes if you'd like. 😉
In addition, for each annual membership purchased, Thrive Market gives a free one to a family in need.
Each time you make a purchase, you can also choose to donate a portion of your savings to help a family in need.
