Hi mummies,
I wanted to share a reliable and affordable place to buy for your child supplements (Nordic Naturals, Sambucol, , food (natural and organic - Earth's Best, Gerber, Healthy Times, orgran, Munchkins), personal care (non-toxic and natural - California baby, Palmer's, Earth's Best, Seven Generation, Earth Friendly Baby). I am a stay at home mum of 2 girls and have greatly benefited from the savings from buying from this place and wanted to share it with those who are on a tight budget and yet do not want to compromise the health of their children.
A health professional recommended me to iHerb in 2010. This is a US site with a 16 years track record. One of the largest online retailer of supplements and natural products in the world, it carries over 600 brands and over 30,000 products. In addition, they also carry a wide variety of products suitable for sports, diet and weight loss, aromatherapy and even pet supplies.
It also has an excellent shipping and refund process. Just last week, I emailed their customer service about a packet of rancid coconut chips and the very next day, they refunded me the cost of the item to my credit card. They didn't even expect me to return the item. They also do a great job in packing and ensuring that your items are well protected from breakage and leakage. Every single glass bottle is protected in the solid cardboard casing. Detergents or other liquid bottles are all packed separately in individual zip lock bags to contain any possible leaks. Products are of high quality & fresh due to the high turnover. Expiry dates are listed on each and every product page. Not something you find on other such sites.
One of the most important difference from ordering from this online site (compared to other online sites) is cheap delivery. It starts at only US$4 and the items are delivered right to your doorstep. When you buy from the local stores, you have no idea how long the supplements and food have been sitting on the shelf. Rancid products is a total waste of our money, not to mention harmful to our bodies. I am a frequent customer of iHerb and have always received my items in perfect condition and they never make a single mistake with any of my orders.

If you have not heard of iHerb, I urge you to explore it and share with your friends and family members. I was amazed by how much I saved over the last 2 years. Easily more than 60% off retail prices. Some price comparisons of what I buy from iHerb & the prices in a local healthfood store:
Garden of Life, Primal Defense, Ultra, 90 Veggie Caps
iHerb – US$34.57
Vita*** – S$102.90
Nordic Naturals, Arctic Cod Liver Oil, Strawberry Taste, 8 fl oz (237 ml)
iHerb – US$21.21
Vita*** – S$89.90
Now Foods, Real Food, Certified Organic Raw Walnuts, Unsalted, 12 oz (340 g)
iHerb – US$8.85
Vita*** – S$20.00
Earth Friendly Products, Ultra Dishmate, Free & Clear, 25 fl oz (739 ml)
iHerb – US$3.56
Vita*** – S$8.80
I buy all my supplements for my family, organic food & baking supplies, toxin-free personal care & household products, organic skincare, essential oils from here now. Many of which I could not afford if I buy locally. Do register with them at this link (http://www.iherb.com/?rcode=YEN647) to receive any promotion emails which they run occasionally. If you registered at the same link and make a purchase, iHerb will take US$10 off your first purchase if you spend $40 & above (US$5 off if below $40). Make sure you see this coupon code "YEN647" during checkout. Try to consolidate your order to hit US$60. This way you get another 5% off your total purchase. Also, don't forget to select your free sample. Each order is entitled to one. This morning as I logged into my iHerb account, they started to run a promo on FOC delivery for shipping via Global Mail by DHL!
I really hope this info is useful for some mummies. Wanted to end by sharing this 7 mins video on the use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo:
