This is the last of the “What Does a Real Foodie Buy at…?” series, which has already covered:
- Costco
- Aldi/Save-a-Lot
- Amazon
- Country Life (note about Vitacost and Azure Standard)
Tropical Traditions is an interesting online shop to discuss through the lens of frugality, because for the most part, the products there are rather expensive. On the other hand, there are a few gems that are probably the best price on the web, especially if you wait until the free shipping weekends that happen about once a month or so.
(In fact, I was sort of hoping this would be a free shipping weekend, which is why I saved TT until last…but it’s not.
Maybe next week! I almost always make a note of it on Facebook, so “like” the page over there to be kept in the loop on little deals like those that I might not mention on the blog.)
I do a fair amount of food shopping at Tropical Traditions in spite of the prices, because they have a referral program that pays out in gift certificates – and you don’t have to be a blogger to benefit!
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up for the referral program HERE.
- If you see a good deal, or perhaps on the free shipping weekends, you can share it on your own Facebook timeline, via email, or on your blog if you have one. Anywhere you can type a link, you can share your special link.
- Create your referral links to specific products HERE. When you look at an individual product, there’s a “promote and earn” text link below it. Click there and generate your link.
- Anytime a new customer makes any order after clicking on your link, whether they buy what you recommend or something else, they get a free book about coconut oil and you get a $25 gift certificate to Tropical Traditions. Win-win!
Just so you know, I don’t get anything for referring you to the referral program, but I love helping you all figure out creative ways to get food for less…and free is always a great deal.
