Making a Healthy Life Affordable: VitaCost Sale!!!

As I'm going along this health and wellness journey, I'm starting to patronize stores/websites that I wouldn't have before. Farmers markets, vegan and vegetarian restaurants, super hippie health food stores, healthy cooking blogs, nutrition websites and online businesses. Changing your lifestyle can be really expensive, or really simple.

Those who know me well know that I can't justify doing something for myself if it's really expensive. So as I started this journey, I had to make sure that changing my lifestyle wouldn't break my budget. I started logging what I was spending weekly, I notices that when I was more "unhealthy" I was spending more money on food (processed) and other junk I didn't need. I thought it would be more expensive, but it turns out that I've been able to find ways to make this easy.

I have become a big fan of the farmers market because I am getting great quality for a good price. I save money because the food I get at the farmers market inspires me to cook more and I'm eating out a heck of a lot less. I'm constantly finding deals when it comes to workout gear since I wear a lot of it.

However, I've been struggling to lower my costs is in the area of vitamins, supplements and other healthy products.

One great resource I found is Vitacost. I've found some of my favorite major supplements that help me manage my lupus and insomnia symptoms such as multivitamins, glucosamine, primrose oil, melatonin, and lavender oil. They have 2,000 of the top, most-trusted natural brands, diet foods and healthy living essentials-the very best nutritional supplements, whole foods and sports nutrition-at discount prices, up to 50% off. And they'll deliver them right to your door for FREE if your order totals $49 or more. Otherwise, shipping is just a small, flat-rate fee of $4.99, no matter how big the box.

Since I can't keep a good deal to myself, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to share an offer with my readers. VitaCost is starting Cyber Monday with a Cyber Sale that is taking a 15% discount off of already great prices.



The sale starts Saturday morning and ends Monday night - 15% off everything on the site.

Start Date: 11/24/2012 Time: 9:00AM EST
End Date: 11/26/2012 Time: 11:59 PM EST

I am excited to do some shopping and eventually show off my purchases. Like I do when I get swag (see yesterday's post) or when I go to the farmers market (any post that has to do with food). So let's show and tell: let me know what you get!
