Group Buy FAQ

Our Annual Group Buy is usually held once a year in the fall. Sometimes, we run a limited Group Buy in the spring.

The exact date will always be shown on the Group Buy Home Page.

If specific dates are not shown, it's because we don't know the date yet. Get notified about the next Group Buy date by Subscribing to our email newsletter.

Our Group Buy shop works much like our regular shop. The main difference is that we offer different items at larger quantities and special prices for a few months each year, and our shipping process is different.

The GreenSmoothieGirl Group Buy is an annual buying opportunity to get extraordinary prices on most GreenSmoothieGirl items (our biggest sale of the year!) — and extraordinary prices on other healthy, whole-food items for your pantry and long-term food storage. 

We arrange these great deals by purchasing large quantities from, and maintaining good relationships with our whole foods suppliers, which enables us to get low prices and share them with our community. We only charge enough to cover our shipping costs. It’s part of our mission of health.

Group Buy offers a selection of healthy, whole foods for your pantry and food storage. The idea is to stock up for the year.

Due to the current economic climate and circumstances beyond our control, we’re offering a limited amount of items during Group Buy moving forward.  

You can still stock up and save on truly raw almonds; fresh, shelled walnuts and pecans; and delicious, raw honey. Our fall group buy also features Buy 2 Get 1 for GreenSmoothieGirl products (the best deal we do all year).

In general, items will likely ship from different locations at different times. This enables us to get the best pricing by ordering in bulk. Don't be alarmed if your shipment comes separated in packages by several weeks.

We realize some items can take a while to arrive, but this is how we secure good pricing on these products!

We will send email notification with tracking info to the email address you provide with your order. If the shipping confirmation email contains a note that your order is shipping via freight, you may be contacted by the delivery company to schedule a delivery time.

A variety of factors can affect Group Buy shipping time frames. Please do not inquire about shipment of your order unless you have received a shipping confirmation with tracking information that indicates a problem.

Group Buy is not designed for fast delivery.

We do not guarantee expedient shipping and do not recommend using Group Buy for time-sensitive orders, but we diligently process orders in the order they are received. Please be patient and be prepared to receive multiple shipments, especially if you have a large order.

Note to group coordinators from Robyn: I personally order extra of popular items when I coordinate a group, because I always have people come to me after ordering closes. It’s up to you whether you want to risk having excess items. If you find yourself in that predicament, you can offer the leftover items to your group. As my group has grown, I’m able to take that risk because someone will always buy the extras.

Yes, it is legal to buy unpasteurized almonds. However, it's not possible for most people to find unpasteurized almonds. Since 2007, California requires all almonds to be pasteurized. The "raw" almonds you see at retail stores just means they aren't roasted.

This Group Buy gives the GreenSmoothieGirl community a way to buy truly raw, unpasteurized almonds that taste delicious for an amazing price. 

The almonds in this Group Buy are frozen instead of fumigated, and are completely unpasteurized.
