Guess you are ignorant. You have to pay before they will let you look at the site. Free trial means nothing. And if you have to spend a certain amount before you get free shipping that's a problem. If you order freezer type things that minimum is 120.00.
They still require you to pay with a credit card. Then are not very easy to cancel. They take a long time to refund . you can not even look at the products to compare .
Costco has way bigger sizes and lower prices . Then when they have a sale I just stock up for the year . Flavcity has a video each month to show you which healthy items are on sale.
@@Santanapainyou can’t make that blanket statement . You look at the ingredients to see if healthy whether it has processed ingredients, seed oils , sugars , msg, etc as certain ingredients keep longer and are healthier
Costco isn't good for everyone, especially single people.. costco also doesn't have as much healthy options/variety as thrive market, they are basically completely different stores . And all bobby does is fear monger and spread misinformation
@@nomanejane5766 You are so wrong ! I am single and shop Costco mostly with Trader Joe’s for my kefir. I only healthy foods like the organic chicken dogs , granitas chips , grass fed beef Pattie’s , all the fresh and frozen vegetables, the list goes on.and I have never felt better? I even but several items when on sale and freeze or stock up as the expiration dates are sometime a year away on dry products . You are so wrong. Go ahead and eat your junk foods with seed oils and see how big Pharma helps you later .
Amazon Fresh also charges fees though. It was a complicated model tbh. I was turned off by Thrive trying to control me as a consumer. Show the prices or no membership. That’s ridiculous.
As others mentioned, it's NOT cheaper, generally; a lot of stuff is frequently out of stock; and I feel that having to pay just to browse is bogus. Also, I hadn't used Thrive Market in years, yet yesterday - a Sunday - they charged my PayPal $60 for a membership I didn't order....totally unauthorized. I couldn't call because it was Sunday, but I was able to chat, and requested an immediate refund and deletion of my data. Instead of apologizing and saying, "Sure," the agent offered me a discount and free shipping on my first few orders. I was livid. I received two emails last night, the first saying my account had been refunded, and the second saying my card on file had been removed. THEN....at 1:54 this morning, I got ANOTHER email saying, "Welcome to Thrive Market! Your membership is active." Screw them. I'll never use it again. Misfits Market or Imperfect Foods are far superior, and you can cancel at any time.
I love my Thrive Market purchases. Other than milk bread eggs and cheese I purchase everything. For my fruits and vegetables I order from the Misfit Market. I’m never going back to the corporate food chains so I’m hoping these companies stay with us. There is definitely difference in the food.
The thing about comparing to Amazon Fresh is that for an order between $50-100 Amazon would charge you a $7 delivery fee and you’d have to factor in a tip for the delivery. So at the end of the day Thrive would probably be about $20 cheaper for that order.
Yes great point! Amazon doesn’t charge delivery fee if you have Amazon prime, so I thought that would balance out since they both charge membership fees. You’re right about the tip though! Although one other thing I didn’t count for Thrive Market is the worker Health and Safety fee which seems to be a few dollars per order.
@@MissSarahEK I actually think Prime changed their policy at the end of February! They do charge Prime members for Fresh delivery now on a sliding scale, for orders under $150.
Haha it just hit me that even if things are “cheaper” on Thrive you’re still paying the same amount you would in store or delivered like Instacart bc those don’t require to pay for a membership. So it’s like that technically goes to the extra amount that is “more expensive” elsewhere. Well played Thrive, well played.
I had Thrive Market for almost a year, and during that time I could find what I wanted generally less expensive elsewhere. I decided not to cancel my subscription, but there is no way to do this on your own without chating or emailing with a retention specialist first. I'm glad my credit card for their store happens to be invalid now, because at this point I was not able to get confirmation that my service was cancelled before the scheduled renewal date next month. This process shoould be quick, easy, and immediate, but it is not.
The few Thrive products ive been able to find the prices on are atleast $2-$3 cheaper at our grocery store. I dont like the inability to compare unless you pay the membership price.
Sadly in your review none of it related to what I call everyday staples used in the average home. As for the term "organic" I've come to the conclusion it is a marketing model used to increase price and sales often without true oversight from the FDA or any governing agency with respect to true organic quality. My initial reaction when visiting the sight and being required to provide personal information/data prior to seeing products and prices was nope were done.
I just bought a 1-year membership at the price you stated,...and received my first order today. My order included 5 items. One of the items was damaged which most likely was caused by the handling of the box. Using the company website they immediately refunded the money for that item. My suggestion would be to read the complete ingredients label for each product on the company website,....as even though many items look and sound healthy,...that isn't necessarily true. With that said I am willing to roll the dice for a year and hopefully be pleased with this membership,......if not I would still be content that I gave it a try.
@@Lili-xq9sn It is all relative,...most of the items are still substantially better than most of the garbage at the grocery store.Just be aware that not everything Thrive Market sells is 100pct "healthy".
@@Tonymanero1960 i don't really do in regular grocery stores. I buy healthy from farmer's market, co-op, etc. I'm looking at Blue Apron now because it has restaurant quality and really clean ingredients.
Great to read the info. Yet you cannot do that without first agreeing to and purchasing a membership. Then if you decide this service is not for you they are horrid to deal with to get a refund
U have to wait for the special sales when those Lara bars are so much cheaper than anywhere else. Thrive does have unique brands but then they copy it in their own thrive brand and stop carrying the brand they copied, I don’t like that but sometimes it turns out better, not always tho. Thats when I have to buy directly from the unique brand, so it’s a nice way to introduce new things I would have never found out about.
Alot of their stuff CANNOT be found in a grocery store(riced broccoli, vegan parm, chocolate tahini, their own Thrive brand products, etc). I saw very unique sauces that I cannot get at other places. I expect it is pricey but to some it is worth it.
I tried thrive market once. I didn’t find anything that I liked or wanted that I couldn’t find at my local store. Got my money back as I was under the three day window as I didn’t find anything I wanted to order
So Thrive is cheaper but then you say the edge is going toward Amazon? That part i don't get because they have items out of stock. In that comparison chart if its out of stock i would have given it to Thrive.
I haven't joined Thrive yet, but you're failing to mention that Thrive will price match. Also they are better for the environment as far as the shipments.

I refuse to mess with Thrive because you cannot pre-see prices and products.
well guess the 30 day FREEEE trial is not right for you either

No way to even know what they have until you pay to join. No thanks. Too uppity.
30 day free trial is how. lol

Sprouts, Whole Foods, and The Fresh Market would have been a better comparison to Thrive Market.

They have a 30 day free trail..
I totally agree-a lot of hidden complications, autoship, set shipment dates………. Not cool
Yeah, but costco and Sam club is the same way and nobody complain

I had cancellation issues too. I am glad my credit card on file was already deactivated. I'm sorry you too had issues with Thrive.
Thank you for the info
That doesn't even make sense, haven't heard of a single store charging ur card after years of u not using them...
@@nomanejane5766 That doesn't mean it didn't happen. Because it did.
Also they make it really, really hard to cancel memberships. It's infuriating!!
Ahh that’s super annoying!
Yeah, they added hurdles to the cancellation process for sure. If anyone subscribes to Thrive they may want to use a burner credit card number.
Agreed
I just went through that

Not the first I have heard this from that company

Pay before you look. Sound sleazy to me and it might be organic (what does that even mean these days)but it’s still all processed food.
It’s not all processed food
Appreciate your take on thrive. It helped a lot. It would not be something for my household. 👍 Thanks
Membership fee is waived for veterans. I personally love it!
A lot of the stuff you can get at sprouts and they have awesome sales every week

Absolutely agree about inged list!
Also, a good idea to find where the item was sourced!
Thanks for writing this. I thought the whole point of thrive was that everything was healthy. I'm rethinking what I'm going to do.

There's snacks maybe just a little cheaper but they make up for the cost by charging twice as much for their meat
Thank you for your kind reply earlier. The best to you! Newly subscribed.
I would like to see a comparison to Walmart and Thrive.
I mean Walmart is a horrible experience in its own, just the crowds and environment
Not if you have a membership and they deliver
Alot of their stuff CANNOT be found in a grocery store(riced broccoli, vegan parm, chocolate tahini, their own Thrive brand products, etc). I saw very unique sauces that I cannot get at other places. I expect it is pricey but to some it is worth it.
I agree they have so many unique items!
Thank you for going through the trouble, so I don't have to 😅
I need somewhere to buy pasture raised chicken! That’s not close to $80 😂
Excellent video! Thank You Sarah!
Every influencer I see only gets snacks from them... 🤨🧐
It definitely seems to be popular!
I appreciate your honest review, tysm
Thanks for watching!

Oh no! Sorry to hear you didn’t find what you were looking for but glad you could get your money back.

They claim to price match if you find it somewhere else cheaper.
I haven’t tried this! It seems like a lot of work to research other prices for everything, but definitely worth trying! Thanks for the tip :)
Poppi and Olipop aren’t the same brand
Ooh no! I’m not sure how I missed that 🤦♀️
thank you!
I haven't joined Thrive yet, but you're failing to mention that Thrive will price match.

Nope wrong
Only thing about thrive that I like is that you can negotiate the price of the membership. lmk if y'all want to know how👀
