I love this thread!! Clearly I do not spend enough time on this site :-D That'll be changing real soon because I want to scour at least the last page of these posts and see what deals I can still get!
I am just now today launching a new business,
Save the Purse, where members can get eco-friendly goods for wholesale prices. Membership is $10.95 a month, cancellable anytime, and for the first month I'm donating any and all profits to the local food bank. (They have some insane deals themselves -
their virtual food drive can turn that membership fee into 200 pounds of fresh produce for hungry people!!)
I am loving the "tell people about the business" phase I am in, because I get to see how good the deals I managed to research and set up actually are. And I thought this might be a good place to share some.
Bulk buys:
- $1.30 each for 23-watt compact fluorescent lightbulbs when you buy a case of 25 bulbs (save 79%)
- $4.59 each for 48-ounce bottles (not the usual store-sized 25 ounces) of Seventh Generation "Free and Clear" dishwashing liquid when you get 12 bottles (save 82%)
- 58 cents per bar of SaVON DeLuxe all-natural, non-toxic soaps in lavender, almond-oatmeal, and rosemary-mint when you get a pack of 24 bars (save 54%)
Regular buys:
- Bamboo bath organizer for $18.82 (38% off - not as big a discount as I like but it was such a super-cute little caddy with ceramic cup, soapdish, toothbrush holder, and so forth)
- Touchless infrared faucet sensor helps you save water by turning it off when your hands, glass, toothbrush, or dishes aren't under the faucet, for $23.25 (77% off)
And I am adding stuff all the time. Oh, and I pay for carbon offsets to make up for the shipping.
Next I should come up with a special deal for people who give me feedback about what kinds of products they would like to see on the site....
