How to Buy Organic Food and Natural Products at Wholesale Prices
Shopping for good-for-you and family products and organic food can often be expensive, particularly around the holiday season when we’re all doing more shopping than usual. But it doesn’t have to be. We want to share a little-known trick to getting huge discounts on organic food and natural products. It’s called buying wholesale and it’s how stores make their purchases to make a profit. If you feel groggy and tired throughout the day, you may consider taking a supplement that can boost your energy. For example, this review at Fitness Clone shows how supplements packed with polyphenols can support natural energy all day.
But, wholesalers generally have order minimums for delivery, which can make it difficult to shop from them as an individual or single household. This is where the savvy Eco-Chick in you comes out.
You can brilliantly cut out the store entirely by starting or joining a online buying club through services like Wholeshare that connect you with wholesalers who normally sell their products at big discounts to grocery stores and restaurants. The Wholeshare website makes it easy to shop—for over 13,000 healthy, sustainable products—as part of a group which gives you more purchasing power and means you can meet the order minimums for wholesalers. Wholeshare gives you access to amazing savings on high-quality products by building a shopping community.
Joining is really a no-brainer as it’s easy to sign up, place your order and then have it delivered.
Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps.
Step 1: You and your community – friends, family, and neighbors – form a group on Wholeshare. Groups are usually 5 to 50 people in size. Each member of your group has their own account and shops separately. Once the combined total of each member’s order reaches the wholesaler’s order minimum, the order goes through and each person is charged individually. You can even earn supplemental income to cover the costs of your groceries by running a group!
Step 2: Group members’ orders are pooled together and orders are sent off to the wholesalers. They fill and deliver your order. Your group’s order can be delivered to your home, community center, church, school, or anywhere you’d like.
Step 3: After the order is delivered, invite your groupmates to pick up their share. Pick-ups are a great time to swap recipes, host a potluck, or catch up with friends!
Happy Wholesale holiday shopping!
