Vitacost Order

Here's my latest Vitacost order (referral link). We LOVE their coconut oil and use it daily. It's great for deep frying since it remains stable at high temps. It makes the best homemade potato chips! It is also heavenly on a piece of good dark chocolate! We also use it for personal hygiene: as a deodorant, moisturizer, scalp treatment, and oil puliing. It is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral...an amazing product all around. Vitacost has, by far, the best price I've found on unrefined, organic, and virgin coconut oil. And it tastes great! (By the way, I have never been a coconut fan until recently, and I can't get enough of this stuff.) Just a reminder that first time Vitacost customers get $10 off their first order, and if you refer a friend, you'll also get a $10 credit for each referral when they place their first order. Free shipping when you buy $49 worth of products or $25 of Vitacost brand products. Shipping is quick, I've gotten my last few orders in about 3 business days. If you're already a Vitacost customer, make sure you check your e-mails before you place an order. I often get e-mails from them with discount codes on stuff I don't normally buy from them, like beauty products and sports & diet products. Well, turns out this coconut oil falls into both those categories, since it's actually sold as a supplement, not a food. The Brazil nuts also fall into the sports/diet products category. So I was able to use a 25% off code that I received on both products! That's why I bought extra this time. If you get any codes, just try them, you might be surprised to get a discount. I believe they only allow one discount code per order, however. Brazil nuts are a great source of Selenium, which is a common nutrient deficiency, and 1-2 Brazil nuts per day are supposed to help us meet our daily requirements. These are also raw, which is a great choice over roasted. They are a little expensive, regularly $7.99 for a 12 oz bag, but one bag will last us about a month, and I believe it's best to get our nutrients from food whenever possible. I think nature has it right, with a balance and pairing of nutrients right for our bodies, and I believe there are many components of nature's foods that we have not yet discovered or may never even figure out. Mother Nature knows best! The two packets are samples. With each order, you may choose up to 2 different samples for free. I chose an Omega-3 and an energy supplement. I also ordered more Kelp Granules, but that's being shipped separately.
