Save Even More on Your Groceries Beyond the Thrive Q – Host a Thrive Party!

Would you like to get some FREE groceries and heavily discounted items to help build your THRIVE Home Store?

That would also free up more of your true monthly food budget to use for other things — think about that — What treat for yourself or family would you get or do with that recovered money? Summer camps, piano or dance lessons for the kids — OR — how about a massage or spa treatment for you, a weekend getaway or some redecorating around your home?

Who doesn't love Free Groceries?

Who doesn’t love Free Groceries?

THRIVE has a great solution:  Host a “Party!”

Now, you may not be a “party” person — and you know what? Neither was I! And if you are anything like me, your life is crazy busy and your house may take some extra work to be ready for guests. BUT before you turn off to the idea, lets first look at the Host Benefits and then we’ll look at some “creative” ways to Host a Party.

Host BenefitsHost Benefit #1 — Double Dip

This is awesome!

This is awesome!

If you’re on the Monthly Q or placed a single order, you already have Host benefits waiting for you — WHY? Because an AWESOME feature of the Thrive Party Program is The Double Dip!

What is the Double Dip?

Did you know that when you started your Monthly Q or placed a single order, it was “tied to a party” and someone got Host Benefits? THRIVE Host Benefits, lets you take your 1st order and use it as the base for your 1st “party”. So the person that introduced you to THRIVE got Host Benefits AND You will also get Host Benefits on your own order.  — that’s the Double Dip! How cool is that?

Thrive with Kay Tips Because of the Double Dip, go with the biggest Monthly Q budget you are comfortable with for 3 months, to get the biggest Double Dip you can — then after the 3 months, you can adjust your budge if you need to.

Host Benefit #2 – Thrive Q’s earn TRIPLE Benefits

This is a BIGGIE! — Q Customer Budgets are multiplied X 3 in your total party sales. So for example, if a Q budget was $200, you would get $600 in party sales credit for Host Benefits!

Host Benefit #3 — FREE Thrive Product

10% of all purchases in FREE THRIVE Product (retail price) — NO minimum party sales requirement!

Host Benefit #4 — Heavily Discounted Items

Earn additional heavily discounted items (1/2 off retail price). This is based on total party sales. Click here to see how this benefit rolls out.

Host Benefit #5 — Book a Party for more Heavily Discounted Items

If someone from your party, books their own party at yours, you receive more items up to $100, for 50% off the retail price!

Thrive with Kay Tips Even if someone can’t commit to a specific date, a party can still be “scheduled” with any date and then when a date is confirmed, it can be updated. That way you get your Host Benefits and we can still be accommodating to the next Host.

Example of how Host Benefits work:

If you went to a “party” with just 5 people plus the Host – Remember that New Monthly Q’s get Triple Benefits:

  • Host started a Monthly Q with Chef’s Selection 200 Smart Start ($200/mo. for 3 months) at previous party – Double Dip Benefit — $200 X 3 = $600 to start her party sales
  • You and other person started a Monthly Q with the Chef’s Selection 200 Smart Start ($200/mo. for 3 months) – $200 X 3 = $600 X 2 = $1200 in party sales
  • 2 people started a Monthly Q with a Taste of Thrive Smart Start ($100 mo. / 3 months) – #100 X 3 = $300 X 2 = $600 in party sales
  • 1 person place a single order for $250 – $250 in party sales
  • 2 people “Booked” a party for next month – Up to $200 more in 1/2 off (Retail) product

$2650.00 total for the Party Sales for these 5 people plus Host’s Double Dip

  • $265.00 in Free product (Retail) from Free Product Benefits
  • Up to $500 in 1/2 Off (Retail) product – $300 from Heavily Discounted Benefits plus $200 in 1/2 Off (Retail) product from Parties Booked Benefits

AND YOU have $600 already to start your party sales from the Double Dip Benefits.

No Risk with the THRIVE Q!

The Q has an initial commitment of 3 months, where your starting budget and ship date are locked.  This gives you 90 days to get familiar with using THRIVE and really give an honest effort to incorporate it into your daily life.  If you do, I know you will stay on the Q and keep building and replenishing your Home Store.  After those first 3 months, you can adjust your budget up or down, change your ship date and even pause it, if you need to.  I want you to be 100% comfortable and satisfied with THRIVE, and if I can’t help you address any concerns, you can cancel your Q.

The time has come! Click here to get started . . . There is a good video tutorial on setting up your Q.

If you have further questions, ask them in the comments and I’ll answer them as best as I can.

A Thrive Home Store – What is it exactly?

Have you ever wondered just what is a THRIVE Home Store?

A THRIVE Home Store is just a well stocked pantry of THRIVE and other products that your family likes, and you use in your everyday cooking. It’s like having your own grocery store in your cupboards.

Here's one of my Home Store Cupboards.

Here’s one of my Home Store Cupboards.

Why should I want a THRIVE Home Store?

By building a good THRIVE Home store you can eliminate those little extra trips to the store, costing you valuable time and gas AND eliminating all those impulse buys saving your money, that we already learned about here!

One of the best reason for having a THRIVE Home Store is PEACE OF MIND — that’s worth a lot in our world today! With a fully stocked THRIVE Home Store, you and your family will be able to eat normally if bad weather hits or if other events occur that disrupt your life. This is so important emotionally. When events outside of your control disrupt your life, you will instinctively hold on to whatever and as much “normal” as you can. And if you have a good Home Store and it provides the “normal” everyday meals for your family, this will be a BIG anchor of “normalcy” to help your family deal better with the stress of the “not normal” things Waterbricks-Counterthat are out of your control — whether that lasts for just a day or two or longer.

Last winter, we had an ice storm that knocked out our power for 4 days.  It became a fun adventure when we didn’t have to worry about what to eat.  We had no trouble with rehydrating.  We just brought up a couple of our waterbricks and set them on the counter and we were good to go — to cook or wash our hands or get a drink.

How is a THRIVE Home Store different from Home Storage?

A THRIVE Home Store is food you use every day. Then after you get a good foundation, you take advantage of the the THRIVE Monthly Sales and you will naturally build your Home Storage, without spending any extra money to do it! You’ll be better prepared and because you use it everyday, there won’t be any learning curve and everyone will be used to seeing those cans opened, used and love eating out of them!

Home Storage in the Basement

Home Storage in the Basement

While a good Home Storage program should be rotated and replenished, my experience has been that most people that have a Home Storage mindset, just tuck it away in the basement for an emergency and don’t want to dig into it unless they absolutely have to.

My truckloads weren't this bad, but it was still a waste!

My truckloads weren’t this bad, but it was still a waste!

 

 

I experienced this first hand when we got ourselves “prepared” for Y2K. Remember that? Well, we went through our Home Storage in 2012 and took 3 pickup truck of expired and no longer good food to the dump! Yes, I did said 3 pickup truck loads – talk about a waste of money. That will never happen to me again!

 

Grumpy Cat not happy some people only store Thrive and don't open the cans and just eat it!

Find Your True Food Budget – Reclaim Your Wasted Food Money!

How do you balance convenience, nutrition, and food quality without breaking the bank at the grocery store?

Do you have a Monthly Food Budget?

Is it a true reflection of what it costs you and your family to eat?

We are going to focus on how to eliminate some of the wasted money that is part of our food budget — the budget we plan and know about, AND the outside spending that is really part of our food budget too, if we are going to be honest with ourselves.

Start making some notes about which ones apply to you, because it will help you make an informed decision about your food purchases.

Is your life so busy that it’s hard to prepare and eat healthy meals, so you hit fast food joints a little too often?

drive-thruHave you ever had “science experiments” growing in your refrigerator because you didn’t eat the food fast enough before it spoiled?

cleaning-fridgeWhat do you do with all the peels, cores, rinds, stalks and leaves that you payed for when you bought your produce by the pound, that you don’t eat?

Pineaple-wasteDo you ever run out of foods like milk, bread, eggs or sour cream and have to make a special run to the store?

Dairy-ProductsDo you ever go into the store for those 1 or 2 items and only come out with just those items? Or does the “impulse bug” grab you?

CandyAtCheckOut

Did you know . . . ?

The average American eats fast food 159 times a year? — that’s at least 3 times a week. With fast food running $5-10 a meal, that can add up to around $100 a month per person – now multiply $1200 X the number of people in your family to see what snuck into your food budget during the year! Write that number down in your notes.family_eating_fast_food

American households throw out a shocking 25% of the food on average? — Over 30 pounds a week! That’s an average $2,000 a year families fork out on food that never reaches the fork! — or $500 per person X the number of people in your family. Write that number down in your notes.Into-the-Trash-It-Goes

Gas could run between $182 – $364 a year if you made just 1 extra trip to the store every week? — based on gas at $3.50/gallon and a car that gets 20 miles/gallon.   Write that number down in your notes.Skip the Trip

Studies show that anywhere from 20-70% of all purchases are impulse buys, and that the average person spends $114,293 on impulse buy in their lifetime? — Obviously, not all of that would be food. But consider, do you ever shop at Costco or Sam’s? How many times a month do you go? Do you ever get out of there under a $100? I rarely did, but I do now.Impulse-Quote

Can THRIVE Save Me Money?

YES! Let me count the ways . . .

By reallocating a portion of your true food budget, even just 25%, you can begin to recover some of that wasted money by:

1.  No more rotten food — No more dealing with perishable foods that spoil, mold or get freezer burn. Thrive won’t go bad on you in mere days — no returning from vacation to a fridge of stinky food.  One of my worst offenders was celery.  I haven’t bought celery at the store in 2 years and haven’t thrown any away and I use it a lot more because it is so convenient.

2.  Pay for what’s edible — You only pay for the usable parts of the food with THRIVE!

3.  No excess – No need to by buy food and see the excess go to waste — just scoop out what you need, when you need it – it’s already washed, cut, diced, peeled and ready to go!

4.  Long Shelf Life — THRIVE foods have an extended shelf life of up to 25 years — even after opening, most are good for 1-2 years!

TWK-ThriveSaves

THRIVE can stop the drain on your wallet and shrink your grocery bill.

Have you been adding up where you can save as we’ve gone along?

I love helping people save money and eat better!

Fresher Than “Fresh” – Did you get the memo?

vine-ripened-tomatoYum! – Vine ripened food not only tastes the best, but also has the maximum nutrition that mother nature provides and our bodies know how to use to stay healthy – IF you eat it when it really is fresh.

Did you know . . .?

fresh-green-beans52% of Vitamin C is lost within 2 days if green beans are not preserved? [1]
fresh-blueberries40% More Calcium is found in flash frozen blueberries than store-bought blueberries? [2]

freshh-spinach6 Times More Vitamin A is found in flash frozen spinach than store-bought spinach? [2]
fresh-peaches21 Times More Vitamin C can be found in flash frozen peaches than store-bought peaches? [2]
VeggieTruckMost “fresh” produce travels an average of 2,000 miles to get to your grocery store? [3]

So what are we to do? Here’s 3 solutions:

  1. garden-vegetable-basketHave a Garden. Boy, nothing tastes better than fresh grown produce from your garden. Do you have a garden? I have a small one that is close to my house and this year is the first year I’ve had a problem with deer eating it up. My dog, Casey, died a year ago, and was probably the reason they stayed away because her scent was all around our house and yard. Do you have any tips to keep the deer, rabbits or other wildlife away from my garden? Natural of course, as I don’t like chemicals. Please share in the comments, I’d love to read them.
  2. farmers-marketBuy from a local Farmer’s Market. Do you have one available to you? Here we are limited to eating really “fresh” food when it is in season and there are a lot of foods we want to eat that cannot be grown locally. I have one in my area that is open on Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
  3. FDcornBuy Freeze Dried Food. The advantage of having a Home Store with freeze dried food is that you can have “fresh” food anytime of the year, whenever you want it. Can you imagine fresh, sweet corn right off the cob in December? Or how about strawberries? You aren’t bound by the season and the nutrition is as close to growing it yourself as you can get.

A Tale of 2 Bananas

Which is fresher, the banana sitting on your counter or a can of THRIVE Banana Slices? Take a look at the journey each one takes before it reaches your plate — the answer may surprise you!

Tale of 2 Bananas

What is freeze drying?

Freeze drying is a chemical free process which takes a product, i.e., fruit, vegetables, meat, yogurt, cheese, etc., and seals in it’s original, freshness, shape texture and quality for about 25 years. This means no waste!

Why THRIVE?

In my opinion, not any freeze dried food will do. After doing my research, I chose THRIVE. Can you see the difference? THRIVE is on the bottom. Which one would you rather eat?

Asparagus

THRIVE Qualities

  • No Preservatives
  • MSG Free
  • NON-GMO Choices
  • Gluten FREE certified
  • Organic Options

In addition, THRIVE is already diced, chopped, sliced, grated and cooked in the case of meats. Meals come together in a snap and taste better because they are really “fresh.”

Are you ready to start making healthier, more nutritious meals in half the time or less?

It’s Time for a Food Revolution! Are you with me?

Are you with me?

Are you with me?

Are you ready for the next Food Revolution?

Do you have canned foods in your home? How about frozen food in your freezer? Have you hit a fast food restaurant recently when time got away from you? These things don’t seem strange at all and are a very much a part of our everyday lives — saving us lots of time — BUT it wasn’t always this way.

Canned Food

Canned Food-VintageDid you know that in 1809 Nicolas Appert, “father of canning,” is recognized for preserving food by sterilization? But it wasn’t until later in the 1860’s and the necessities of war, that broadened the popularity of the can. It still took a couple of decades and by the time of World War I, canned food was finally becoming a more integral part of American life. [1]

Frozen Food & TV Dinners

frozen peasDo you know how frozen food was introduced? It was Clarence Birdseye and his American company that made frozen foods a practical reality in 1930. But the road to consumer acceptance of these products was a long and rocky one. The first obstacle was the retailers themselves, who were unwilling to spend the money to buy refrigerated display cases to merchandise the new products. Consumer resistance was also high. Frozen foods might have died off altogether if not for the onset of World War II. This opened the door for frozen food which used less crucial materials such as paperboard, waxed paper and cellophane.

SwansonTVDinnerNext on the scene in the 1950s marked the introduction of a product that grew to be synonymous with the term frozen food: the TV Dinner. For the first time, a complete meal was available in frozen form to families who wished to dine quickly and easily at the table or in front of the TV, as the name implied. These dinners included an entree/meat item, a starch and a vegetable, and sometimes a dessert. [2]

Fast Food Chains

Fast-FoodThough we have become accustomed to thinking of fast food restaurants as a timeless and essential part of American culture, the industry is actually a very recent development. In his best selling book Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser, explains:  “The leading fast food chains spread nationwide; between 1960 and 1973, the number of McDonald’s restaurants grew from roughly 250 to 3,000. What had begun as a series of small, regional businesses became a fast food industry, a major component of the American economy.” [3]
