Shopping Superstars: Experimenting with Bulk Purchases

023 1024x682 Shopping Superstars: Experimenting with Bulk Purchases

In the past week I have discovered a blog that has just captivated me.  It’s GreenAndCrunchy.org, and Sheri does an all Vegan and Organic diet for her entire family.  She makes incredible smoothies, and has awesome raw meals (even for her young kids).  She buys all of her food in bulk, so that she saves money on her food.  So this week I experimented with just buying a few items in bulk from Amazon.  I used Subscribe and Save on these items, so that I received a 15% discount.  What’s pictured:

Raw Organic Agave Sweetener
Nutiva Hemp Protein Powder
Nutiva Organic Goji Berries
Cacao Powder
Cacao Nibs
Organic Dates:  Work as a natural sweetener when you remove the pits.

It was just a few items, so the cost wasn’t too bad (especially considering I save so much regularly with coupons), but these will last me a while.  I’m going to experiment with different smoothie concoctions, and see how our energy levels change as well.  I’ll report back with you all and share some of the smoothies we make.

I absolutely love smoothies, but don’t normally purchase them anywhere because they are so expensive.  I usually make banana, carrot and apple smoothies at home, but will be branching out in the coming weeks on the types of smoothies I make.  Stay tuned!
