How I Got a Paleo Shopping for 10 Cents

You can't get much for 10 cents these days, so I was amazed to see iHerb have currently got 7 trial products available for just $0.10 each (USD). What's the deal with trial products? Well you get to try a new product, or sample, with a maximum of two per order. Using code DUV741, you also get $5 discount on your first order, not bad hey!

I get my coconut oil (this is my favourite), coconut aminos and most of my other paleo supplies from iHerb, as I find them far cheaper than local health shops.

Here's what you can get for 10 cents

More Ways to Find Cheap Paleo Products Online

While the $0.10 iHerb deals may not last forever, it's still absolutely possible to stock up on affordable Paleo supplies if you know where to look. I always recommend checking iHerb’s trial and free product sections, as well as looking out for rotating promos and coupon codes. Even without the 10 cent offers, there are often generous discounts on pantry staples like coconut oil, almond flour, bone broth powder and more.

If you're new to iHerb, use the code DUV741 to get a discount off your first order — it’s a great way to try a few new Paleo-friendly products without spending much. Over the years I’ve saved hundreds of dollars this way, and still do most of my Paleo shopping online.

💡 Tip: Look out for “trial-size” options when browsing — they're often significantly discounted and perfect if you’re curious to test a product before buying full-size.

By the way, I’d love to hear from you. Have you ever scored an amazing iHerb deal? Or found another great source of cheap Paleo products online? Let me know in the comments below or shoot me a message — I’m always keen to share savings tips with the community.

Almost free health products…

I just found out about a new feature on iherb called “Trial Pricing” today that I thought I should share with you. On their trial page they offer a handful of things (there are 57 at the time of writing this) at a hugely discounted rate, limited to one per customer. Some of the trial products are only available if you haven't ordered it before (I guess they're hoping you'll love the product and go back and order more!)

The cheapest thing I found was a $0.12 (yep, 12 cents!) packet of Omega 3 supplements! They seem to have lots of vitamins, supplements, minerals, lip balms, tea infusers – and all sorts. The trial products change regularly, so it’s definitely work checking it out regularly.  Of course, it isn't all Paleo, but I do manage to find most of my paleo staples online at iherb.

My discount code still applies to these products, so make sure you enter the code duv741 when you check out to get a $5 (if you spend under $40) or $10 discount (on purchases over $40). Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

Shipping is free within America on orders over $20 and shipping to other countries is very cheap indeed (I regularly have things sent from iherb to both Australia and the UK and have found it far cheaper than buying locally)

How to Make the Most of iHerb’s Trial Pricing

If you're anything like me, you probably get a small thrill when you discover a quality product at a fraction of its usual price — especially when it's something you're already using, or have been meaning to try. That’s where iHerb’s Trial Pricing section shines. It's a treasure trove of steeply discounted wellness products, often just a few cents, and many of which can complement a Paleo lifestyle when chosen carefully.

What’s clever about Trial Pricing is that it’s not just a generic sale — it’s intentionally structured to introduce you to new products, offering them at a near giveaway price to get you hooked on the quality. And frankly, it works. Once you've tried that high-quality omega supplement or natural lip balm, you'll likely want it in your regular rotation — and with the full-size version usually still far cheaper than what you’d pay in an Australian health store, it’s a win-win.

My Top Tips for Snagging the Best Deals

Since the stock changes regularly, it pays to visit the Trial Pricing page often. Here are a few tips I’ve learnt from making the most of the specials:

  • Use the search bar wisely: Try keywords like “organic”, “grass-fed”, or “non-GMO” to filter out less Paleo-friendly options.
  • Check expiry dates: Occasionally, discounted products are close to their best-before dates — not a problem for things you'll use quickly, but worth checking.
  • Look at serving sizes: A 30-tablet bottle for $0.50 is great, but not if you need to take six a day.
  • Combine with other deals: Some items may qualify for additional discounts (like the “brands of the week”), stacking savings even further.

Watch Out for Hidden Gems

Beyond supplements, iHerb often includes discounted kitchen gear, pantry staples and natural cosmetics in its Trial section. One week I found a non-toxic tea infuser for under a dollar, and another time I scored organic herbal teas for just 40 cents a box. These items sell out fast, so if you see something useful — especially a reusable item — it’s worth adding to your cart immediately.

Is It Paleo-Friendly?

While not everything on iHerb is Paleo-approved, there are many products that align with a real food lifestyle. I often find:

  • Coconut oil and coconut products — great for cooking or baking, and a pantry staple.
  • Herbs and spices — especially in grinder format, like the pink Himalayan salt mentioned earlier.
  • Natural personal care items — from fluoride-free toothpaste to deodorants without aluminium or parabens.
  • Supplements with minimal fillers — like magnesium, zinc, or fish oils derived from wild sources.

If you're ever unsure, check the ingredients list — or do a quick search to verify how Paleo-aligned it is. You might be surprised by how many great options you’ll uncover.

Shipping Hacks for Australians

Shipping to Australia is one of the reasons iHerb continues to be so popular with Paleo followers here. Even though it's based in the US, iHerb has affordable international shipping options, and delivery is often surprisingly quick. I usually get my parcels in under two weeks, and the tracking is reliable.

Keep in mind:

  • Orders over a certain value may qualify for reduced shipping fees — though there is a weight cap, so it's worth watching your cart’s combined weight.
  • You can choose from several carriers — I’ve had the best results with DHL Global Mail.
  • Be mindful of Australian customs regulations if ordering items like honey or large quantities of supplements.

Make the Discount Code Work for You

Don’t forget to use the code duv741 at checkout — it still applies even when you're purchasing trial-priced items. This is a great way to maximise your total savings, particularly when you're placing a larger order. Whether you're just after a few samples or stocking up on your monthly supplements, the code can shave a few extra dollars off — and who doesn’t love that?

Why I Keep Coming Back

What keeps me returning to iHerb, aside from the bargains, is the sheer convenience. The search filters, customer reviews, and product Q&A sections help you make informed decisions. Plus, there’s a strong sense of community among users — I’ve discovered some of my favourite products from reading others’ honest reviews.

And because I’m always looking for new ways to support my wellness journey — whether it’s Paleo-friendly snacks, toxin-free household cleaners or adaptogens for energy — iHerb is one of the few places where I can get almost everything in one go, at a much better price than anywhere locally.

What Have You Found?

If you stumble across an absolute bargain in the Trial Pricing section — especially something aligned with Paleo, low-tox or wholefood living — please pop it in the comments. Let’s help each other discover the good stuff before it disappears! The best deals often only last a day or two, so sharing your finds can really benefit the community.

In a world where health food stores are charging $18 for almond butter and $40 for collagen, being savvy online is a game changer. With tools like iHerb's trial pricing and regular promotions, nourishing your body doesn't need to cost the earth.

Where Do You Get Your Paleo Supplies From?

Whilst the main elements of a Paleo diet are fresh, local and seasonal – such as meat and vegetables, there are a few important ingredients and supplies that aren’t so easy to find. I used to get these items from health food shops, but I found they could be really expensive, there wasn't much choice – and they were heavy to carry home!

I now do the non-fresh part of my Paleo shopping almost all online. My favourite supplier is iherb, as I've found them to be the cheapest, they have a large range – and they deliver Worldwide (even to Australia!) quickly and cheaply.

Iherb have just reduced their delivery charge to Australia – it’s now only $10 on orders over $60. They also offer $10 off your first order over $40 – or $5 discount on smaller orders. Definitely the cheapest way to stock up on Coconut Oil and fill your Paleo pantry!

These are the items on my non-fresh Paleo shopping list

Coconut Oil

No Paleo kitchen is complete without Coconut Oil! I go straight for the largest containers as it doesn't last long. I really like this huge container of Nutiva Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I also have a smaller jar of Artisana Organic Extra Virgin Raw Coconut Oil in my pantry.

Coconut Aminos

I love Coconut Aminos and use it regularly, exactly as you might use Soy Sauce, for instance in sauces and to marinade meat.

Coconut Butter/ Manna

I first read about these products on US websites; but couldn't find them in Australian stores.

Paleo Baking

I've just got a new Paleo recipe book “Paleo Indulgences”, with lots of recipes for occasional treats and special occasions. Quite a few of the ingredients I didn't have, so I have just ordered from iherb.

Coconut Crystals

I've just ordered these Coconut Crystals as a few of the recipes call for them.

Coconut Nectar

Similarly a few recipes call for Coconut Nectar, so I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of these too

Arrowroot Starch

Coconut Flour

Almond Flour

Shredded Coconut

Coconut Flakes

Flax Meal

Hazelnut Flour

Sunflower Seed Butter

Almond Butter

Yeast

Salt

I tend alternate between Celtic sea salt and pink Himalayan sea salt.

Herbs and Spices

I also have to stock up on the herbs and spices that I use regularly in my cooking. I generally use a lot of turmericParsleyGingerNutmeggarlic powdercurry powderoreganocuminbasil and cinnamon

Kelp Noodles

A recent addition to my cooking is kelp noodles as a great pasta alternative.

Supplements

Depending on time of the year and nutrition, there are a few supplements I sometimes take.

Vitamin D

Many of the Vitamin D3 capsules sold are in very small doses – instead of taking several, I prefer to take one capsule at a higher IU

Omega 3

Treats

After reading on so many American Paleo sites about Larabars, I've also tried some from iherb, for an occasional treat!

Toiletries

Other than food, I also order paraben-free shampoo online as many of the brands I find in shops locally have lots of undesirable ingredients.

Which non-fresh Paleo supplies do you regularly buy? Where do you source your Paleo supplies from? Are there any items you have trouble finding locally?

Stocking a Paleo Pantry in Australia: What to Buy & Where

If you're following a Paleo diet in Australia, you already know that sourcing fresh meat, seafood, and vegetables locally is relatively easy. But what about those harder-to-find Paleo pantry staples like arrowroot starch, coconut aminos, or almond flour? Finding affordable, high-quality options can be a challenge—especially when you're looking for organic, gluten-free, and additive-free products.

Buying Paleo Supplies Online vs In-Store

Local health food stores can be a great resource, but they're often limited in stock, pricey, or inconvenient. That’s why many Aussie Paleo enthusiasts turn to online suppliers for non-perishable items. Online stores often offer:

  • Greater variety, including international products not commonly found in Australia

  • Lower prices, especially when buying in bulk

  • Home delivery, which is a game-changer when you're ordering heavy items like coconut oil or flours

Best Paleo Online Stores for Aussies

  • iHerb – Offers a massive range of Paleo pantry items, personal care products, and supplements. Shipping to Australia is fast and affordable, and you’ll often find generous first-time buyer discounts.

  • Amazon Australia – More local sellers are joining the platform, which can be great for Paleo snacks, collagen, and natural toiletries.

  • Nourished Life – An Australian store that focuses on natural and toxin-free products, especially great for Paleo-friendly skincare and household items.

  • The Wholefood Collective – Aussie-based and focused on real food, organic, and bulk options.

  • Changing Habits – Another Australian supplier specialising in Paleo and wholefood lifestyle products.

Must-Have Paleo Pantry Staples

Here’s a quick list of Paleo essentials to keep stocked up—perfect for cooking, baking, and staying prepared:

  • Coconut oil – Look for organic, cold-pressed virgin varieties.

  • Coconut aminos – A soy sauce alternative that’s both gluten-free and Paleo-friendly.

  • Arrowroot starch & tapioca flour – Useful for thickening sauces and grain-free baking.

  • Almond, coconut, and hazelnut flours – Ideal for baking and creating gluten-free coatings.

  • Flax and chia seeds – For egg-free baking or boosting omega-3s.

  • Shredded coconut and flakes – Great for grain-free granola and treats.

  • Natural sweeteners – Such as coconut nectar, raw honey, or maple syrup (used sparingly).

  • Nutritional yeast & unrefined salt – For flavour and essential minerals.

  • Kelp noodles & cauliflower rice – Easy grain alternatives for quick meals.

  • Herbs and spices – Go for organic if possible. Staples include turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, ginger, garlic powder, and oregano.

  • Nut butters – Like almond or sunflower seed butter (check ingredients—should be 100% nuts).

  • Lacto-free or Paleo-approved supplements – Such as vitamin D3, magnesium, collagen, or omega-3s.

Pro Tips for Saving Money

  • Buy in bulk – Especially for pantry items that you use regularly (like flours or oils).

  • Check expiry dates – Bulk buys are only worthwhile if you’ll use them before they expire.

  • Split orders with a friend – You can both save on shipping and try more products.

  • Use loyalty or referral codes – Sites like iHerb often offer substantial discounts on your first few orders.

Final Thoughts

Creating a Paleo lifestyle that works for you in Australia means having a reliable supply of quality staples. With the convenience of online ordering and an ever-expanding list of local suppliers, it’s never been easier to keep your pantry stocked with everything you need—from coconut oil to collagen.
