Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hey everyone! I am very interested in buying products that are not animal-tested, and have pulled up some companies that do not. However, these companies are very cruel to my wallet! As much as I would love to buy all organic fruits and veggies, I can't afford them all the time. I hope that isn't the case with cruelty-free products too. My main concern is soaps, some makeup, hair care product and deoderants...for house cleaning supplies, I tend to use baking soda and vinegar...natural things like that. What brands do you guys use? Right now, I use Pantene, which I just found out is a major offender (I'm sad about that too).

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I buy whatever's cheap at the local discount store (usually, there's a selection of several cruelty-free brands), or wait for sales or coupons at Whole Foods. We have a Grocery Outlet chain in the SF Bay Area that often has Whole Foods brands at anywhere from 15 to 75 percent off the regular price. Every time one of these mfrs. changes the packaging or ingredients, or comes out with new versions, they show up at the Grocery Outlet store. I used to find health-food-store shampoo for $2 there; now it's more like $4-$5, which is still cheaper than other places. I'm not especially picky about specific brands or products, and I tend to stock up when I see great prices for favorite items, so I don't end up paying regular retail prices for products.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 i guess it all depends on how and where you shop. All the fruits and veggies we buy are organic, basically. and i'm unemployed. if i can do, anyone can! it pays to look around. i know PETA has sites dedicatedto easily found cruelty free products. we tend to try and shop at smaller companies tho, which can cost more. but peace of mind means a lot sometimes. for soap, i use Juniper Ridge products, but only because i worked there, and walked off with casesof the stuff when the laid me off (revenge!) it's organic and wildcrafted, so can't complain. my partner uses a variety of castille soaps, like dr bronner, or something from kiss my face. cheers fraggle Elaine Moses Nov 13, 2008 10:10 AM Cruelty-free products Hey everyone!
