It's that time again! I have freebies from Grove for you.
Hey there, frugal people!
A couple of times a year, I team up with the lovely people at Grove Collaborative (formerly epantry) to bring you a special offer for new customers.
(And always, always an additional offer for existing customers! I love that Grove does this.)
Grove Collaborative delivers eco-friendly cleaning and personal care products right to your door. Their service is super flexible, which means you can order as much or as little as you'd like, and you can order as often or as infrequently as you like.
So, it's not like most subscription services, where you're locked into getting a particular set of items on a pre-set schedule...rather, you can make Grove jusssst right for you.

As you guys know, I shop at Aldi for around 85% of my needs. But I do not like their dish soap, and I also hate that their hand soap only comes in pumps and not refills.
(How many pumps does one household need?)
Before Grove came along, I used to try to buy those items at Target, because Target is cheaper than grocery stores for most soapy stuff. 😉 But I don't get out to Target regularly, so we tended to run out of soap.
Since I can get my dish soap and hand soap from Grove, I only have to make trips to Target really occasionally now, and we are never left soap-less.
Grove's prices are competitive with the prices at Target (they're actually about $0.10 lower than my Target on these Mrs. Meyers products), AND if you get your soapy items from Grove, you can stay home and avoid the temptation to impulsively buy things at Target. 😉
You'll get extra savings right now if you are a new customer, because there's a special offer good through Sunday.
Here are the details:
Spend $20 on any products you like from Grove, and you'll get a free $30 fall cleaning kit, which includes:
Free Mrs. Meyer's fall seasonal hand soap
Free Mrs. Meyer's fall seasonal dish soap
Free Mrs. Meyer's fall seasonal multi-surface spray
Free Grove Collaborative kitchen towel
Free 60 Day VIP trial (free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales, & personal service)
Free shipping
So, you get $20 worth of items plus the $30 kit all for only $20 out of pocket. Schweet.
By the way, I'm pretty picky about dish soap, and Mrs. Meyer's is great. I feel like it works every bit as well as Dawn, which is seriously saying something.
Honestly, if I were you, I might just order bottles of dish soap for my $20 minimum! So useful. So good at degreasing. So scent-ful.
(I think I have enough dish soap at the moment, no?)
The multi-purpose spray and the hand soap are great too, mind you, but the dish soap especially stands out to me because there are so many bad dish soaps out there.
Anyhoo, the fall cleaning set comes in two seasonal scents: apple cider and mum, and you decide which one you want.
I give the apple cider scent a slight edge, although if you are into flowery scents instead of fruity, you will LOVE the mum scent.
The Grove dish towel is the sturdy, thick sort, great for drying hands or dishes.
When you first get your towel, you will think it's one of those awful ones that repels water. But it's not...you just need to send it through the wash and then it will be lovely and absorbent.
I love kitchen towels. They are so much more delightful than paper towels (except when it comes to absorbing bacon grease. 😉 )
There are only a limited number of sets available and the offer ends October 16, so hurry up and place your order! Here’s how it works.
New Grove customers:
To get your free fall cleaning kit, just click right here to get started. Grove has automatically filled your basket with a suggested assortment of items to cover your $20 spending, but you can customize that and change it up completely if you'd like.
(Just don't take away any of the free offers from your basket! If you do by accident, let me know, and someone from Grove can fix you up.)
Existing Grove customers:
You get the Mrs. Meyer's products and the towel for 50% off. Whee! Click here to add the kit to your next shipment.

Let me know if you have any questions or run into any problems getting your fall kit! The customer service people at Grove are great, and will give you super prompt attention.

You got me started getting Mrs. Meyers dish soap and now it's all I use. It only takes a little bit to handle a lot of grease. And they just came out with the holiday scents, so I am getting ready to order enough of the pine to last a long time! (Although I'll have to get some of the other scents too!)
I know, right? Cheap dish soaps require you to use so much more soap! So then they end up not being very cheap after all.
Isn't the Iowa pine wonderful?? I love that scent.
So true about cheap dish soaps! You just have to keep adding more, so what's the point?? I adore Aldi, but their dish soap is one of the very few items I won't buy there. That and pancake mix, paper towels, and napkins.
Yep-the dish soap at Aldi just does not cut grease.
I keep telling myself I'm going to try Grove: maybe this time! One of my favorite aspects of this offer is that they also include a deal for existing users.
Yup, I love that too...so often, offers are JUST for new customers.
Thank you!!! Love that!
When companies offer deals only to new customers and if there's something you want (either the deal item or a break on something else), I encourage you to contact the company to complain/ask for the item or break. It's amazing what you can get, just by asking firmly but nicely.
This stuff looks cute! How are the shipping costs? That's my only concern if the products themselves are about .10 cheaper apiece; the shipping may negate these savings.
Well, for your first order, shipping is totally free! And since you get a free 60-day VIP membership, you can get as much free shipping as you want for 60 days.
After that, shipping is $2.99. So yes, you wouldn't be saving money once you pay shipping ($0.10 isn't a lot!), unless buying from Grove keeps you from impulse shopping at Target. In which case $2.99 would be pretty worth it! It's easy to spend $2.99 in a jiffy at Target.
Thanks for this offer: I've just placed my first order. Only hic cup was the scent selection for Mrs Meyer's. No worries as a customer service rep was already on line with me and she assured me that the scent could be changed (that she did it). The disconnect seemed to be with the preloaded Mrs Meyer's items (set to Mum but hidden). No worries even if I end up with Mum scent after all! I was thrilled to find a new source for Bon Ami, a hard to locate item locally. Both the Bon Ami and the Dr Bronner's I ordered were cheaper than what I have been paying and free shipping! Nice.
Forgot to mention: when the customer rep came on, it was to answer a "what do you like to do in Fall" question. Answering it gave me a $2 credit to my order. Double nice!
Yay! That makes me so happy.
Grove has such great customer service.
Just wondering if you ever tried the dishwasher tabs? By the way I am very excited about the freebies and ordered immediately! Thanks!
I haven't tried the Mrs. Meyer's dish tabs, but I do love, love, love the Mrs. Meyer's dish soap. So great.
I'm guessing the dish tabs would be really scenty too, which would make your kitchen smell lovely when you run the dishwasher.
A little surprised to see the Mrs Meyers hand soap refill containers are actually considerably more than at Target ($8.31 vs $6.99 at Target). Agree that the 12.5oz pumps are $.10 cheaper but that's a disappointing difference for the refill bottles.
Oh, I didn't think to check that when I visited Target! We've actually been using the Method hand soap refills, but I see that those are $1 more than they are at Target (depending on what Target you go to. The ones in my area vary, which I didn't realize until relatively recently. The one in the swankier area is a little more expensive!)
However, if you are the sort who tends to impulse buy at Target (like 90% of the population), then getting a delivery from Grove will be worth paying slightly more. 😉
Also worth considering: Grove is a small company, not a large corporation, and they also do some great eco-friendly stuff, like making a donation to save 25 square feet of rainforest with each shipment (so far Grove has donated enough to save a million square feet of rainforest).
I've learned lots of frugal tips from you but I checked this out the last time you offered freebies and I'm confused about the actual frugal value of using this service. I found their website difficult to navigate and their prices way higher than what I pay. That said, I appreciate you sharing your insights and on a happier note, I found the value in your post about Ting and signed up!
I'm sorry you found the website tough...I know they've redesigned it relatively recently, and maybe you'll find it easier now. But of course, not everything I post is a good fit for every reader.
The frugal aspect of Grove all depends on how much time/gas you spend going out to buy these kinds of items, whether these items are available in your area, and whether you are happy with something like a store brand version of an item (which will generally be less expensive than a more specialized eco-friendly version), and how much impulse shopping you do when you are at a store. Of course, the introductory offers are a great deal on these products!
I am so very happy that Ting is working out well for you. Woohoo!! We dearly love our Ting service around here.
This is great! Thanks for introducing me to Grove (epantry at the time)... I adore their flexibility and their customer service is exceptional. Plus competitive pricing... There is no downside!
I put the promotional kit in my online cart, buuuut I don't need any dish towels, so I removed them from the cart, but the promotional pricing stayed the same with the two soaps, even though I had removed part of the kit. Impressive! Grove definitely gets a thumbs up from me.
Sweet! I'm so glad Grove is working out so well for you.
Kristen, have you tried Mrs. Meyers' dryer sheets? I use fragrance free dryer sheets to avoid unnecessary chemicals but I'm tired of my laundry smelling like nothing. Just wondering if this brand was any good.
I haven't tried the dryer sheets; I have dryer balls for softening, but that's it.
Mrs. Meyer's stuff is typically pretty heavy on the scent, so I bet these would make your laundry very scent-ful!
Do they have any scent-free products? If not, why not?
I'm not sure Mrs. Meyers makes scent-free products! Grove does carry some unscented products, though: https://www.grove.co/catalog/?search_string=unscented
Thanks for this- particularly the heads up last week. I needed some stuff but put off my order til today in order to taker advantage of your deal. Love that they include existing customers!
Just ordered from them and, ignoring your admonition, I managed to place the order and knock out the introductory freebies! However, their customer service person fixed it up so I did not lose out. I was very impressed with their customer service. Thanks for arranging the offer. I wanted to try them but hesitated and then decided that with the freebies and free shipping for 60 days it would be worth it. (No Target for hundreds of miles where I live...)
Well, I'm really glad I mentioned that you could get the freebies added back in! Hee.
Their customer service is outstanding.
Is this available to Australians?
We can buy refills for hand soap at Aldi. I bought their environmentally dish soap this year... and it is okay except the pump broke and Aldi doesn't carry replacements etc.
I'm wondering what you consider a "bad dish soap." Is it that you have to use so much to cut grease (which is a problem with Aldi's brand) or is there some environmental factor that comes in mainstream brands like Dawn?
I usually choose to go to Aldi for 85% of my groceries like you, but I go to Costco for meat and some things, or another store like Target or Kroger for stuff like rice milk and dental floss (!) which Aldi does not carry.
It unfortunately makes for lots of grocery shopping.
Yeah, I'm referring to the performance. Cheap dish soap requires you to use so much! And even then it's not very effective.
It IS weird that Aldi does't have dental floss. I never thought of that before.
And yes to the lots of grocery shopping. This is why it's nice to get some stuff mail order from Grove/Amazon, etc.
I also was asked by customer service about my favorite fall activity and they gave me an additional 10% off! I am excited. I havent tried this before so I am anxious to see how it works for us. I have a pretty nice box of goodies coming!
Quick follow up: Ordered yesterday, received today! Talk about FAST!
Whoa! That's speedy. I know their orders come from CT, so you are in a perfect spot to order. 😉
Came from Harrisburg, PA but still-the next day.
I ordered yesterday, also. I live in Virginia and got my order today!! Very impressed.
Ordered today...if I remember correctly from the last time you did this promotion, there was a pine scent available. I searched and searched for it on their website but couldn't find it. I'm excited to smell the cider scent though 🙂
Have you tried the bluebell or rosemary scents? I was trying to read the labels on your stash but could only make out mum, honeysuckle?, and apple cider. I know that I can't find the variety of fragrances of dish soap at Target. They usually only have one or two scents.
