The new year is just around the corner, and if your New Year's resolutions include eating cleaner, getting healthy or saving money, you should definitely check out Vitacost.

V and I get all of our vitamins and supplements from Vitacost, as well as organic personal care products, raw cacao powder, maca and other vegan goodness.

And to help us all start the new year on the right foot, Vitacost is running some pretty great sales right now -- including Buy One, Get One Free and Buy One, Get One 50% off on a bunch of Vitacost brand products.

Plus, they are doing free shipping on orders over $25, and just about everything on the site is always way cheaper than you can find at local health food stores. In fact, we figured out that we were saving about $50 every month just from switching to Vitacost for some of our regular vitamin, supplement and personal care purchases.

You can even save 10% more on top of their discount prices when you schedule automatic deliveries for some of the stuff you buy all the time.

If you are new to Vitacost, you can even save another $10 on your first order of $30 or more when a friend refers you.

So you can always just head over to the Vitacost website and start saving money on vegan foods, vitamins, green household products, healthy baby products and organic personal care products.

But if you would like to get this additional $10 discount, here is my referral link -- since I'm always happy to be the friend who helps you save money on living well!
