Not sure if you can afford to jump on or stay on the monthly ER loyalty program?

Dear YL members
I hear a lot of people say “Finances are really tight so I can’t afford to buy YL products every month even though I would love to”.
If you have this mindset let me reframe a couple of things for you so that you can afford to buy YL products of your choice monthly:
1. Are you using YL as your one-stop shop? If you use YL as your one-stop low tox shop, I guarantee that there'll always be some item of personal care product or household cleaning product or supplement or essential oil that you’re running low on and need to replenish. I stopped buying from a million different shops and websites a long time ago and saved myself time and numerous shipping fees. YL is so much more than an oil company. There is no doubt that the YL oils are the highest quality on the planet, but 90% of my orders actually comprise personal care products or household cleaning products (eg. Thieves cleaning concentrate, dish soap or laundry liquid) a supplement or Ningxia. A 2 pack of Ningxia will last one person exactly one month if drinking 50ml per day which is a must in order to detoxify the toxicity from our body. 50ml a day of Ningxia costs $3.33 which is less than a cup of coffee which most people will happily pay in a day without thinking twice.
2. Are you diluting the products? YL products are ultra-concentrated and can or need to be diluted. Use this dilution chart to dilute the cleaning products to really stretch the cost out to be on par with toxic supermarket crap. Follow the same logic to dilute the personal care products such as hand soap and body wash by a third so that the cost works out to be only a third of the wholesale price. I also dilute the conditioner (because it is so thick) by filling the empty space at the top of the bottle with water. For products that I don’t dilute (eg. shampoo, toothpaste, mouthwash, face cleaners/moisturisers) I only use the teeniest amount so that they last me ages.
3. Are you redeeming your accumulated loyalty points to get free products? By redeeming your loyalty points you receive free products which means saving money. Most people just buy a 2 pack of Ningxia every month (which is over the min 50 PV required for the minimum monthly ordering spend) and then accumulate their loyalty points for free personal care products, household cleaning products and supplements.
When viewed in this light, the monthly loyalty program is of tremendous value. Plus you can skip a month and manipulate your monthly ordering date for maximum flexibility. Plus you'll feel good knowing that you are supporting an ethical company whose products are safe and nourishing for people, the planet and pets.
