Tried It Tuesday: Get it Online for Less $$ But Keep The Quality!

You know I love to get great things at great prices and I shop online occasionally all of the time.  I had the opportunity to try out two great websites with high quality products AND great deals. Win-win! My finds this week come from YogaOutlet.com and Green Polka Dot Box.


yoga outlet twitYogaOutlet.com is the largest online specialty shop for yoga in the US. They offer high quality products at the lowest prices with the convenience of the internet. They are having a huge Summer Sale. There are over 450 clothing items and accessories on sale starting at $4.99. They offer many great brands including Lole, Prana, Gramicci, Lucy, Manuka and many more.

They offered me the opportunity to try a few products for review. I decided to try a Trina Turk tank that I saw at Core Power. The tank was on sale for $24.99 (61% off) so I got two! I got a medium in black and gray and a large in teal and black. I was not sure which one would be the right fit, but I was pretty sure one would work. Both fit me, but the medium was a bit snug, so I gave it to Stacy and kept the teal. I wore it to Hot Yoga and it was very comfortable. The material is high quality and the colors are vibrant. The style allowed for full range of motion. It looked great. It was a great value on this sale! (I just noticed that it is marked down to $19.99 now!)

green polka twitterAs you know, I love trying unique healthy products – especially for a great price. My friend, Rhys, was a founding member at Green Polka Dot Box, a company that sells and delivers healthy products, always non-GMO at a reduced cost. They recently asked if I would be interested in getting a free membership and a credit to try out their service. Of course I said “yes,” because I know Rhys is happy with the service AND they have some of my faves like Vigilant Eats cereal, KIND products, 22 Days Bars and much more.

The Green PolkaDot Box sells natural and organic, non-GMO foods, personal care, home, baby and pet products at wholesale prices and delivers them directly to your door. They carry a large variety of brands and now offer fresh meat and dairy products within a two day shipping window from Utah via Fed Ex Ground. They offer a lowest price guarantee on all the items in inventory, additional discounts for auto ship orders and free shipping on orders over $75.

Green Polka Dot Box is a “buying collective,” or membership site, and the fee is $50 per year. If you want to try it out, you can buy a trial for $10 which a great option – especially if you order over $75 and get free shipping. If you like it, you can upgrade to a membership for $40. All products are discounted and they offer many specials and deals and rewards points for buying and referrals.

Look what I got!

I used some of my credit and grabbed some faves as well as some new items. I knew I loved the Sweet and Spicy Boom Chicka Pop from Angies, the sundried and sweetened Utah cherries from All Good, the Pumpkin Fig Granola from Sweet Elizabeth, The Brussel Bytes from Wonderfully Raw and the GF Sea Salt Pretzels from Mary’s Gone Crackers. I tried AMAZING raw Tumeric and Nori Crackers from Rawone. I also got some dishwashing pods (lavender and thyme – nice!) and laundry detergent pods. All of this came to only $30 because of the discounts. Since I buy these products regularly, I knew I was getting a great deal.

If you don’t have an affordable organic store in your area, or even if you do, this site would be great for you. As I mentioned, all products are discounted and GPDB offers member deals and has a rewards program for frequent shoppers and referrals. The rewards points can be redeemed for free products on future orders.

If you are interested in shopping at the Green PolkaDot Box, you can sign up here. You can also follow on Facebook or Twitter or sign up for their email list. Curious, but not ready to commit? If you do a trial today, you can get free shipping with code GOFREESHIP on orders $35 and up. Expires 8/19 at 11:59 MST.
