Where we shop online. Our top places to buy ethically.
I thought it was about time to get into one blog, a list of places where we shop the most. I have tried out countless places, looking for what works best for us as a family and these are our most loved. They will most probably change and evolve over time. I am always looking for ways to cut down our spending yet find things that don’t come at a cost to people and the planet.
Enjoy!
shopping secondhand:
Ebay
My go-to for anything we need for the family from toys, bras, clothes, mugs and hairclips.
Facebook marketplace
I mostly use FB for home items and toys
We are dotte
A really great platform for secondhand kids clothes
Depop
Am yet to shop for the kids on here but have got some gems for myself.
food:
Abel and Cole
We’ve tried a number of fruit and veg boxes and I’ve tried buying loose as possible in supermarkets, but for organic produce delivered to your door and without a lot of the packaging (there is the option for plastic-free too) Abel and Cole is still my favourite. You can use go here and use VEGLOVE to get 50% off your first box.
Milk and More
We have a regular milk order through Milk and More and have milk delivered three times a week. It took us a little while to figure out the amounts we need and I go back and forth about whether this really can fit into our budget but the milk tastes INCREDIBLE. This was also a huge blessing to us in lockdown when we couldn't get to the shops. They don’t only stock milk but you can buy fruit and veg boxes through them as well as breakfast items and kitchen staples. You can use this code to receive £5 off your first order: RH75K4
Field and Flower
We cut down meat a lot last year, for a few reasons but a main one was to be able to buy better meat with the money we were saving y not buying it more regularly. Again, we tried a few different companies and while this particular company isn’t organic meat, it’s free-range, fully traceable and their high-welfare animals are fed a natural diet. You can use the code above to receive 50% off your first order, and 25% off your second, or enter MEGAN LANDRETH-SMITH at the checkout.
Good Club
I joined these guys in the early days and since then they have got loads more products and their discounts, if you are already buying organic/package free/bulk, really are great and definitely a website to save on. Get £25 off your first order using this link as well as free delivery
Home items:
Bower Collective*
I love the thinking behind this company. They are a B-corp with a big passion to bring sustainability to the people. I use them mainly for their laundry liquid on subscription, you send back the pouches when you have finished.
Who Gives A Crap
This is where we get our toilet paper from. We’ve tried a few other companies and they are also great but I love the bigger roll size that these guys offer so have stuck with them.
&Keep*
Another great shop with pretty much everything you need sustainable living wise.
Natural Collection
This can also be seen as another ethical amazon-esque place. Everything from makeup to groceries and fashion.
Ethical Superstore*
An amazing range of fairtrade, ethical & Eco-Friendly everyday products
Nkuku
My go to for mugs, decorations, and general dreaming.
KIDS
Mamaowl
A collection of natural clothing and toys for babies from independent suppliers.
KIDS TOYS AND ART

One of my all-time favourite shops for kids- everything you could ever need.

Bringing great brands together in one place
