I am a big fan of Thrive Market. I have been using their products for many years. They carry my fav brands, and they deliver them to my door for less than my local grocery stores. Even with the annual membership, they are still cheaper. It is the largest non-GMO online grocery in the nation.
My link will give you 40% off your first order.
They also carry their brand that is even cheaper than any other already discounted brands on their website.
💚 Their brand is not only cheaper but also sometimes the best products in their category, like their dishwasher and this rinse aid.
This is the best dishwasher rinse aid I found so far. The alternative would be just organic white vinegar.
💚 If you have hard water you will need this or add organic white vinegar as a natural rinse aid! Or If you really need to add scent just add a half-cut lemon and insert it on the top rack for a natural fragrance.😉

🌎NEW Plastic-free tip: 👉Laundry pods made of biodegradable PVA are still made of plastic and should be labeled as plastic.⚠️ ⚠️Laundry Pods and Laundry Sheets that list Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA or PVOH) as an ingredient contain plastic According to the Meliora Cleaning blog: 👉“Many people using laundry pods and strips think that these products contain zero plastic. Several brands state loudly, and incorrectly, that they contain ‘zero plastic’ while also listing PVA as an ingredient. We aim to clear things up: if there is PVA or PVOH in the ingredients, there is plastic. 👉Plenty of people know that the outer coating of a laundry pod does in fact contain PVA, but some may not realize that it can also be found in laundry sheets. Both products often contain Polyvinyl Alcohol, which is a water-soluble plastic. 👉PVA, also called PVOH, is a dissolvable plastic that is used in many applications including laundry and dishwasher pods. A recent study, Polyvinyl Alcohol in US Wastewater Treatment Plants and Subsequent Nationwide Emission Estimate [1], has concluded that the PVA used for these products does not readily biodegrade during wastewater treatment.” 👉About 75% of PVA used does NOT degrade in wastewater treatment plants in the USA[1]. 👉PVA-based products (laundry pods, dishwashing pacs, laundry strips) release plastic into the environment 🐠💚For this reason I switched to non-pods laundry products. My current favorite brand is the MELIORA 🌿Not only their products are 100% plastic-free but also their packaging!! I am committed to reducing plastic waste and using Meliora products is so rewarding!👏
