My Grove Shopping List
Grove Collaborative is a membership-based site, so it may or may not be a good fit for you. It really depends on whether you buy the products they sell regularly enough.
- Seventh Generation dishwasher tabs
- Seventh Generation rinse aid (also for the dishwasher)
- Earthpaste (ordered from Vitacost or Grove depending on what else I need)
- Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap (I don’t have a favorite dish soap, but being able to add this to my Grove order makes it very convenient.)
- Seventh Generation diapers
- Preserve toothbrush (or kids’ toothbrush)
- Preserve razor & refill blades
They also carry a number of items I like, but that are occasional-purchase items for me, like cotton dish towels and some fabulous soy candles. These don’t make my “shopping list” because I don’t buy them often, but I’ve been happy with the quality of everything I’ve ever gotten from Grove.
Other Stuff I Buy
- Prefense hand sanitizer (We use this so much I actually bought a wall dispenser!)
- CrunchyBalm
- Bonafide Provisions broth
- Norwex (My mother is a consultant, and this link goes to her store. If you have a consultant already, by all means, please shop through him/her!)
- bulk herbs from Bulk Herb Store
