How To to Save Money on Non-Toxic Items

For me, clean living is a wholesome lifestyle focused on improving one’s wellbeing by eliminating or reducing toxins that are harmful to our health.

After discovering all the toxins I was exposed to on a daily basis, I was determined to replace all the toxic items in my life.

But when I was searching for non-toxic swaps, the cha-ching sound of a cash register kept ringing in my head as the potential costs started adding up.

Luckily, my deal hunting obsession kicked into high gear for money-saving hacks. Beyond just shopping sales, I also found quite a few more ways to save money on non-toxic items.

And now I’m going to pass them on to you so you can not only start but also sustain your clean living journey too!

1. Rakuten

This is my FAVORITE way to save money on pretty much everything! Rakuten is a cash back site with over 3,500 stores you can earn money from for your online purchases. There’s no cost and no catch! 

Just start at Rakuten.com to search for stores, brands, or products before purchasing anything online. Or you can get the Chrome extension to automatically be notified of available cash back for sites you’re visiting.

In the years I’ve been using Rakuten, I’ve earned over $1,200! They keep track of my purchases and send me a check every quarter I’ve earned cash back. It’s as easy as that.

And not only do you earn cash back, Rakuten also has coupons for even more ways to save money on non-toxic items. Start saving and getting cash back on your purchases!

Get a $30 bonus when you join Rakuten for free with my link and make a purchase totaling at least $30 within 90 days of signing up.

8. Medify Air

Did you know the air in your home could be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside and even worse if you use cleaners with toxic chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Since we spend the majority of our time indoors, consider using an air purifier with a true HEPA filter to remove air contaminants like VOCs, reduce indoor air pollution, and improve your home’s air quality.

Get $15 off any air purifier purchase with my link and discount code NDU15. Or get $30 off your first order of $200+ here.

9. Berkey Clean Water

Did you know that most drinking water contains heavy metals like lead, chemicals such as chlorine and the “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, added fluoride, and more toxic substances?

If you haven’t checked the quality of your tap water yet, you’ll probably be shocked to discover the water toxins you’ve been consuming like I was. 

For example, I found out my water has 13x EWG’s healthy guideline for Chromium-6, also known as hexavalant chromium. Ring a bell? That’s the same hexavalent chromium in the movie “Erin Brockovich”! 😱

Luckily, the Berkey Water Filter I have removes more than 99.8% of Chromium-6. It also filters out 99.9999% pathogenic bacteria, viruses, heavy metals like lead and mercury, chlorine, and other contaminants. If you have fluoride and/or arsenic in your water, you can add the PF2 Filters to filter those out as well.

Go ahead and take a look at the EWG Tap Water Database to see what toxins are living in your drinking water. Then purify your water using a Berkey Water Filter System, and get 5% off when you use my link with code NDU5!

10. Our Place Perfect Pot + Always Pan

And with just the 2 pieces in the Home Cook Duo pot and pan set, you can simplify your kitchen by replacing an entire 16-piece cookware set! Who doesn’t want less to clean and store?

Use my link to get $20 off your first Our Place purchase of $100+! You can also earn 200 points ($20) in your account for each person you refer with their referral program.

12. Subscribe & Save

Many companies are now offering “subscribe and save” options with discounts on auto shipped items people use and reorder regularly.

If there are certain things you’re constantly reordering and don’t want to run out of, why not save time and money with a subscription on auto pilot?

When you sign up for “subscribe and save” services, you can save money on non-toxic items with discounts from companies like:

Amazon

Amazon offers certain Subscribe & Save items. Most are 5% off, but some can be 10% off. Or you can save 15% if you receive 5 or more products in one auto-delivery!

And many of them offer extra savings for your first Subscribe & Save order. You’ll also get free shipping on auto-deliveries. 

You can select the quantity of the items, choose the shipping schedule that works for you, and skip or cancel anytime.

Here are a few non-toxic items on Amazon that you can subscribe and save with:

• Organic Coffee
• Organic Coconut Oil
• Liquid Hand Soap Refill
• Dishwasher Tablet Refills

Branch Basics

A Branch Basics Subscription will save you 10% on your soon-to-be favorite non-toxic cleaning product refills!

Receive text notifications before your orders are shipped to adjust your order if needed. You can change, skip, or cancel anytime.

Plus, another bonus is that subscribers receive early access to the biggest sales of the year! And Branch Basics offers a money back guarantee to make sure you’re satisfied.

Here are the Branch Basics products you can subscribe to for a 10% discount:

• Concentrate

Primally Pure

With Primally Pure’s Subscribe + Save program, you’ll get free shipping on each and every order. 

That way, you don’t have to hit a certain dollar amount with your order to avoid having to pay shipping costs.

You can select the frequency you want to receive your fave PP products on repeat and swap products, pause, or cancel your subscription anytime.

These are the products I go through the most often that are available for a Primally Pure Subscription:

• Deodorant
• Cleansing Oil
• Sprays & Mists
• Serum

As far as other subscription products, I also use the Plumping Bar and Soothing Cream. But they’ve lasted forever! I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth with those items.

13. EWG Clean 15

If you can’t afford to buy all organic food or want to cut down your grocery bill, the Clean 15 are the non-organic produce that are least contaminated with harmful pesticides. 

Nearly 70% of the samples from the Clean 15 fruits and vegetables had no detectable pesticide residues according to the EWG. 

So if you want to save some money on groceries by purchasing non-organic produce, those are the ones you’d want to get. 

And since avocados are the number one “clean” item on the list, that goes for avocado oil too. Sam’s Club has a great deal on non-organic, cold-pressed avocado oil!

Don’t forget about the Dirty Dozen list though. Those fruits and veggies should definitely be organic and are really worth spending the extra money on.

14. Herbs & Spices

Since starting my clean living journey, I’ve started cooking all our meals. That way, I can eat organic while having less processed foods and eliminating harmful artificial ingredients.

I used to eat out all the time. In fact, it was one of the things I enjoyed most in life, especially with all the cravings I used to have.

But now, I don’t even miss eating out. I prefer my healthy, home cooked meals and have actually lost quite a bit of weight from eating better. 

One of the ingredients I love cooking with is fresh, organic herbs. But they cost a few dollars a pack, and I never seem to use them all.

So rather than buying fresh, organic herbs for each recipe, I substitute them with dry organic herbs and spices using a ratio of 1 teaspoon dry for each tablespoon fresh herbs since they’re much more concentrated. 

Plus, you can always have dry herbs and spices on hand for convenience. This is an easy way to save a few bucks here and there!

Last but not least, be sure to check my Discounts page for even more savings and discount codes on some of my other favorite wellbeing items!
