Hi reader,
When I was an extreme couponer, I knew that stocking up was a great way to save money.
I didn't need to be a mathematician to know that buying four boxes of cake mix at 25¢ each now was cheaper than buying four boxes of cake mix at $2.50 later, even if I didn't have plans to use four boxes of cake mix this week.
But then I quit using coupons, quit eating pre-packaged and processed food, and had to figure out how to stock up on healthy food… a.k.a. the stuff we couldn't afford AND actually expired (the proof is in the wet and mushy spinach).
Lesson #1: You should NEVER buy what you don't like, in bulk.
For example, a family who hates spinach shouldn't buy spinach in bulk.
This may sound like common sense, but I hear from my internet friends (i.e. YOU) all the time that you bought the mega-huge back of organic spinach at Costco because it was a good deal (and organic!) and you wanted your family to eat more vegetables.
You have nothing but good intentions - I get that - but we also have to be realistic. If your family has turned their nose up at spinach for the past umpteen years, buying it in bulk won't change that.
Lesson #2: You should ALWAYS buy what you love, in bulk.
For example, I love the grass-fed collagen from Perfect Supplements. I've mentioned it numerous times before via email how it makes my hair grow long, my nails grow strong, and my skin healthy looking.
It's also known to help heal the gut, heal wounds, and it's a major player in strong muscles!
Plus…
It's the star ingredient in my Nutella Collagen Protein Bars and 3-ingredient Homemade Chocolate Pudding and Elderberry Gummies (via gelatin, which is cooked collagen).
It's how we boost the protein in Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothies and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nice Cream and Homemade Fudge Pops.
It's one of the most affordable sources of protein at just 65¢ per serving!
(Here's my official write-up on the health benefits of collagen, including my side-by-side comparison of another popular brand.)
I always make sure to stock up anytime Perfect Supplements has a sale, not only because it's literally the best collagen I've ever tried, but because my husband started sneaking into my stash too.
Apparently he loves it as much as I do, LOL.
Well guess what?!
Perfect Supplements is having an exclusive sale JUST for Crumbs readers now through this Thursday, July 11th!
Right now, all Perfect Brand Products (including my favorite grass-fed collagen) is 15% off. PLUS you can stack it with their Volume discounts (Buy 3 Perfect brand products, save 20%, Buy 6 and save 25%) for even MORE savings!
Here's how you can take advantage of the sale and get the most for your dollar:
- Click here to add as many containers of grass-fed collagen to your cart as you want (there are no minimums or limits!) - the volume discounts will be added automatically.
- Shop around for anything else you want to try.***
- Use coupon code CRUMBS15 to take 15% off and save!
*** Anytime I place an order, I try just one new thing. Here's everything I've tried so far:
- Acai Powder. I add this to my smoothies for a boost of superfood antioxidants!
- Collagen. The supplement that changed everything!
- Coconut Oil. This isn't the best price around, but it might be your best bet if you don't have a warehouse membership. Check your price book!
- Gelatin. This is cooked collagen, so you get all the same health benefits but in a different form. (This is what makes gummies, gummy!)
- Lip Nutrients. An excellent lip balm!
- Plant Protein. An incredible boost of protein for vegetarians and vegans.
- Spirulina. Very potent, so start small!
- This month I'm torn between trying the Matchinga (a hybrid of matcha green tea and moringa leaf powder) and the 3 Grass Blend.
Have you tried either? What do you think? Hit "reply" and let me know!
PS - For a long time, you guys were the only ones who knew about Perfect Supplements collagen and there was never an issue of running out. News has spread though and everyone else who loves this stuff will be placing orders too. With that said, if you're interested in stocking up, DO NOT WAIT. You don't want to get the dreaded "out of stock" message!

PPS - If history repeats itself, there won't be another sale until NOVEMBER. Another reason not to wait!
