Please note, I am a grove affiliate and received products to facilitate this post. I am also a long-time Grove Collaborative shopper at home. All opinions expressed are my own. Thank you.
If I could describe my current season of life I would say that I am a striving minimalist. A minimalist who craves simple beauty, uncomplicated living, and natural products within my home to keep my family safer each day. Which is why I buy many of our home’s cleaning, beauty products, and household staples from Grove Collaborative.
Grove Collaborative is an online, mail order subscriptions service that provides consumers with top quality, earth-friendly products. They have passed the most rigorous standards for businesses that prioritize social, environmental, and community wellbeing. With every product sold being rigorously tested the effectiveness and environmental impact.
Many of their products are sustainable. Providing customers with transparent supply chains, recycled contents, recycled content-based formulations, all with a social mission to help save the rainforest of South America. As with each purchase you are working with Grove Collaborative to replant trees on the continent. A mission that warms my zero-waste heart! You can find out more about their company efficacy and values here!
Grove Collaborative first came onto my radar a couple of years ago when a fellow influencer I follow reviewed her first shipment from Grove, and I instantly knew I needed to order for myself. I recently received my latest box of Grove products, which I must admit, is very much like opening a present to myself each month.
In my current order I received:
- Mrs. Meyer’s Multi-Purpose Everyday Spray (lemon verbena)
- Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap (lemon verbena)
- Mrs. Meyer’s Dish Soap (lemon verbena)
- Grove Collaborative paper towels
- Grove Collaborative Facial Tissues
Keep in mind, your first order may look different from mine. As when you currently sign-up for the service you’ll receive a 5-piece gift set. Including a set of Mrs. Meyer’s, including dish soap, hand soap, and hand lotion, plus a pretty tray or cleaning caddy to keep everything looking tidy.
When placing your order, if you purchase $40.00 worth of products you will also receive a bottle of Grove Collaborative Hand Sanitizing Spray (blood orange scent), a $3.95 value.
Subsequent orders over $40.00 will also receive different bonus gifts, each with a retail value of at least $2.99. In the past, I’ve received additional bottles of hand sanitizer, dish brushes, dish brush replacement heads, Grove Castille soap, or lip balm.
Something else to consider is the cost of shipping. There are two tiers for Grove customers. You can elect to become a VIP member, their exclusive membership group. By participating as a VIP shopper, you will receive free shipping and a free quarterly gift, valued at $5.00 or more.
The cost of the VIP membership is $20.00 each year and all new members placing their first order (with minimum orders for delivery being $10.00 or more for VIP members) will automatically be placed into this program for one month. But you can cancel your membership at any time. Shipping for non-VIP members is a flat fee of $2.99 for each shipment.
If you have a large family and plan to place orders monthly, you’ll want to stay with the VIP program.
Then there’s the matter of future orders. New VIP customers are automatically set up with “auto shipments” but don’t let that scare you away! You can modify your shipping options for future orders at any time. You can change the date of shipments, delete products you won’t need, or add additional products as well. You can skip, delay or cancel auto shipments at any point too.
You’ll also receive several email notifications before your order ships to allow you to charge or delay orders in your cart.
As for the products themselves, I have found that Grove’s prices are comparable to that of Target and Amazon Subscribe & Save but with a much larger selection of B-Corp products. Essential for those like myself who live beyond a reasonable driving distance of small town living. A true value and convenience!
I’ve also tried the following products from Grove Collaborative and have loved them:
- The above-mentioned Mrs. Meyer’s products
- Method Anti-Bac Toilet cleaner
- Method Hand Soap
- Grove Reusable Snack bags and Sandwich Bags
- Grove Collaborative aprons
- Grove Collaborative glass spray bottles
My favorites? The Grove Collaborative glass spray bottles! They help me create and properly store many of my favorite DIY cleaners I love to make at home!
And while I love the name brand stuff, including the seasonal lines of Mrs. Meyers products, the Grove Collaborative items have really been the showstoppers. The quality of the bottles, towels, coconut scrubbers and cleaning products have been top notch. I’m looking forward to trying out more! They look adorable sitting on my sink-side cake stand!
So far, I’ve been really impressed with my Grove Collaborative experience and if you are interested in giving it a go, you may consider using my referral link. You still get great prices and in addition, you would receive a 5-piece gift set (instead of the usual 5-piece pictured above) with your first order. A total win-win for fall cleaning at home!
Now I want to ask, have you tried Grove Collaborative at home, and if so, what has been your favorite products? I’d love to hear your thoughts below!
