Save Money using THRIVE foods

A question I often get a parties is: How do the prices of THRIVE foods compare to the cost of the fresh version at the grocery store?   

A few years ago I started tracking grocery store prices.  I wanted to build my home store of non-THRIVE items (I didn't even know about THRIVE then) at the lowest possible price.  So, each week, I would enter multiple grocery store ads into a database I created.  That database tracked the prices of thousands of items.  I always knew what the lowest possible price was for almost any item sold at the grocery store.  With this knowledge, I was able to build my own home store of grocery items at the lowest possible price.  

While I no longer track grocery prices with that much detail (I don't have the time since I had my 4th baby and became a Shelf Reliance consultant), I do still keep an eye on "stock-up prices" for many items.  When I found THRIVE foods (you can read that story here), I was very pleased to find out that many items actually cost less through THRIVE than they typically do at the grocery store.

By buying (and using) the following items through Shelf Reliance, you can save money on your grocery bill.  I figure I save about $200 / year by using the following:

• Tomato Powder: Save $1-$2 per bottle of Tomato Juice, and $0.30-$0.50 per can of sauce or paste.  I no longer buy any canned tomato paste, sauce, or juice.
• Whole Egg Powder: Save about $1-$1.25 per dozen.  I have completely replaced all eggs I use in baking with Whole Egg Powder with no difference in the results.
• Freeze Dried Celery: Save about $0.75-$1 per bunch.  I use freeze dried celery whenever a soup or casserole calls for it.
• Carrot Dices: Save about $0.50-$0.60 per 1 lb bag.  I use the dehydrated carrots whenever a soup or casserole calls for it.
• Freeze Dried Onion: Save about $0.50-$0.60 per onion.  I use freeze dried onion whenever a soup or casserole calls for it.  I also use them on pizza or calzones, and in omelets.
• Freeze Dried Blueberries: Save about $0.75-$1 per 6 oz pkg.  I use them for blueberry pancakes or muffins etc.
• Mixed Bell Peppers: Save about $0.75-$1 per bell pepper.  I use them in casseroles, soups, pizza, calzones, omelets etc.
• Butter Powder: Save about $0.25-$0.50 per 16 oz box (compared to real butter, not margarine).  I use this in breads, but not cookies.
  
• Shortening Powder: Save about $0.30-$0.50 per 48 oz can.  I use this in breads and tortillas, but not cookies.
