Tropical Traditions Weekly Sales
Growing up, we used to visit my Grandpa or “Papa” who lived in Michigan. He lived on the lake and also raised bees. We would swim in the cold water, ride my mother’s old horse Sugarfoot and drive by his multiple bee hives. I can remember watching him tend to his bees in his full “beekeeper’s suit.” His honey was the best, because it was fresh and we could see the honeycomb inside the jar of honey!
I have always liked honey, but as a mom and the main honey eater in the house, I rarely buy it. My honey always crystallizes on me and I end up throwing it away. It seems like a waste for me to buy a jar of honey for myself when it is going to go bad since I don’t use it quick enough.
Lately I have been asking readers a few questions so I can get to know everyone and someone suggested that I do a Tropical Traditions Organic Honey giveaway and here it is! I have been reviewing the organic honey and love it! I find myself searching for it every morning to use on toast. I REALLY like it on warm tortillas, but my diet says I should use toast, while my belly says “Bring out the Tortillas!”
This review was an eye opener on organic products for me! I have just now started trying organic products and when I received this honey, I didn’t know how I was going to scoop it out of the jar! This sounds silly, but….. it was in solid form and like nothing I had ever seen before. I called Tropical Traditions and was told that the organic honey needed to be brought down to room temperature since it could’ve been very cold throughout shipping. They told me to fill a bowl with warm water and let the honey sit in the warm water for awhile. They also told me to do this a few times and the honey would eventually have a consistency close to that of butter.
Once I got the honey to the proper temperature, I started using it…….multiple times a day! I love it. It is not messy since it doesn’t run like normal honey and it gets better with age, instead of expiring on me! One thing, make sure your kids try it before they see it. My boys are particular and when they saw it was hard and white, they didn’t want anything to do with it. So, it’s just me and my honey again, but at least it won’t go bad! Tropical Traditions has made an organic honey lover out of me. Last night something fell out of the pantry and I was upset thinking I had lost my new jar of organic honey. Thankfully it was just my light pancake syrup, but the lid broke off and syrup was everywhere, including all over my husband’s legs and feet!
If you should order from Tropical Tradtions by clicking on any of my links and have never ordered from Tropical Traditions in the past, you will receive a free book on Virgin Coconut Oil and I will receive a discount coupon for referring you.
Now, get in there and win yourself a jar of Tropical Traditions Organic Honey!

Online, amazon
I would much rather shop online but sometimes I just feel the need to see or touch the product in person. If not for that I would shop online more often. 🙂
I agree, I have to try on pants, but could buy socks online ALL day!
Bobbie Anne
Amazon is my favorite online shopping. I like to shop both ways. Thank you Jerri Davis
I would love it if you could enter Amazon through BlogWithMom.com Amazon pays me 4% of the purchases made from my site which allows me to spend more money on advertising / giveaways.

I prefer shopping in person so I can see the product I’m buying.
I agree Cynthia. I do most of my online shopping for products such as games and items that I don\’t need to try on.
Bobbie Anne
I prefer to shop online except for clothing. Have to try on to be sure it fits and that I actually like it on ME.
I agree, it can take me HOURS to find the right pair of pants unless I buy the same brand/fit over and over!
Bobbie Anne
I would love to win this product. I am a huge honey fan. Thank you for the opportunity.
It\’s great, but now I am eating it EVERY day!
Bobbie Anne
That’s ok! I hear you are suppose to eat raw honey every day. Long and short I was looking for raw honey for my husband online and that’s how I found your site. He takes a teaspoon everyday of raw honey. It’s suppose to be good for you! Hope I win the honey! lol
…oh… I prefer to shop online!
It\’s much quicker if you can get in and get out without finding new things to check out!
Bobbie Anne
I just ate more honey tonight! My problem is that I eat it on warm tortillas which just isn\’t good for my diet after I eat three of them!
Bobbie Anne
Oops. You will have to delete my previous post. I definitely prefer to shop online unless it is for grocery shopping. I like a lot of the online deals that are offered. My favorite would probably be Amazon because you can buy almost anything on there.
Amazon is great and they pay me 4% of all purchases that come in from my site. I use the extra money to advertise the blog and bring in larger giveaways. I have an Amazon search bar on the right and would LOVE for you to shop through it sometime.
Have you shopped on BeeSavy yet? I just made my first purchase yesterday. They offer cashback and referral credits!
Bobbie Anne
I like to go to the shops and see the products first hand and make my decisions.
Me too unless I am shopping for an item that I have bought before in the past like printer ribbon or etc.

It depends on what I am shopping for. If it is clothes, I prefer to shop at a store because I am a hard fit and I like to try things on before buying. I like shopping on line for books and music and that kind of thing.
I agree Debra, buying jeans online would never work for me!
Bobbie Anne
I love Amazon!
I would LOVE it if you could enter Amazon from BlogWithMom.com right sidebar in the Amazon search box. Amazon gives me 4% off all purchases that come from my site. I could use that extra money to offer larger giveaways on the blog!
Thank you,

prefer online, and my current favorite is Amazon, as much for price comparisons as for actually buying.
Russell, have you shopped on BeeSavy yet? It is similar to Amazon, but offers cash back and referral credit.

Store. I like to touch and feel things!
Me too, but at Christmas time that requires too much running so I try to buy all the kids games / toys online and watch for them to arrive on the porch so I can grab them before the kids see them.
Bobbie Anne
i’d much rather shop in person
If I am out of time and know what I need I shop online, just not for clothing since I always need to try everything on.
Bobbie Anne
I prefer to shop in person for clothes & shoes and online for just about everything else. My favorite online is Amazon!
i love shopping online! amazon!

I like to shop online for the most part. Amazon is my favorite because I mostly buy practical things. The places I like to shop at personally are places like college towns because there are usually interesting handmade things in small shops that you can’t find anywhere else.
I like to shop online, where I can read other people’s reviews and opinions. Usually I hunt for an item on amazon and then buy it off ebay if it is available there.
That\’s a great idea!
Bobbie Anne
I like to shop instore
Love your blog!
Thank you Jen, that means the WORLD to me!!!
Good luck, Bobbie Anne
I prefer the convenience of shopping online, except when shipping charges get in the way…
Yes, shipping fees can \”KILL\” an online sale when I know I can drive down the road and get it cheaper.
Bobbie Anne
I much prefer shopping online. I’ve not tried Tropical Traditions honey – and would love to.
Good luck Liz!
Bobbie Anne
It depends on what I am shopping for. I love to shop online and in store. If it is something I need to see/try on to buy it, I love store shopping, but I also love Amazon for shopping when I know exactly what I need.
That\’s exactly how I feel! Good luck,
Bobbie Anne
I Love Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil, their honey is probably the best! Thanks for the review.
Your welcome, you\’ve got to try it on a warm tortilla, I just ate one!!!

I love shopping online and having things arrive at my front door! There are certain stores I do like to go to and look around but other than that convenience wins. As for a favorite online place to shop… It would be hard to pick just one, I have a ton of favorites.
Good luck Tamara!

just a small side note, honey never goes bad. if it gets crystallized you can either throw it in the microwave and heat it until it dissolves or the warm water method works too.
archaeologists have found jars of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs. it was still completely edible.
hope this keeps anyone from ever wasting good honey 🙂
Thanks, now I know and hopefully someone else will read this too. No telling HOW much honey I\’ve thrown away that could\’ve been saved.

I prefer in store shopping, b/c I like looking for clearance and markdown; but I find myself buying more online, esp natural/health products and cloth diapers. Mostly Amazon, Tropical Traditions, Puritan’s Pride for food and vitamins.
Have you browsed BeeSavy yet? I just bought something from there this week. It offers cash back and referral credits.
Bobbie Anne
Yes, Tropical Traditions is constantly having great deals and free shipping specials – I love them!
Bobbie Anne
I’m new to their products, but love the coconut oil. I just placed my third order, and I can say without doubt, they have the BEST customer service of any online company I have ever used.
Try their dishwasher detergent, dish soap and skin exfoliator – I love it!
Bobbie Anne
when honey turns white and thick, it’s crystalizing. Crystalized honey is perfectly good to use. There’s not a thing wrong with it. Don’t throw it away! You can warm and remelt it if you want to by putting the bottle in a pan of hot water. Do not microwave organic or raw honey — you’d be destroying some of it’s wonderful nutrients. Enjoy it!
Thanks Deborah, I just threw all that crystallized honey out — ooops! No microwaving my organic honey, it is great!
Bobbie Anne
Much perfer shopping in person.
It just really depends on what I am buying. If I can save time shopping online for items that come with free shipping, that\’s what I prefer to do.
Bobbie Anne
i prefer to shop online and ebay is the first place i look
Have you ever sold on Ebay, that is so much fun!
Bobbie Anne
I like to shop online and get most things from Amazon if it’s cheapest.
Have you ever tried shopping on BeeSavy? It offers cash back and referral credits.
Bobbie Anne
I followed you on Google + under Crystal Hollow!
I would rather shop online at Walmart!
Sometimes I do the store to store free shipping on that site!

I prefer to shop in-store, so that I can make sure the items are something I really want.
I love to shop on-line. Amazon is my favorite. However, for some clothes I need to shop in person.

I shop in store mostly but do buy online at several places
Yes, I shop online when I can, then hit the stores for the rest!
Bobbie Anne
I prefer to shop in the store. However, I’m finding it easier to shop online from sites such as Bath & Body Works & gift shopping.
Good luck Tammy, shopping online saves me time unless I am shopping for clothes, then I better try them on!
Bobbie Anne
I like to shop both in store and online..I am not sure which one I prefer! I love Amazon.com. I also enjoy purchasing larger, heavier items online (that qualify for free shipping) so that I dont have to mess with bringing them home from the store 🙂 Lazy!
Not lazy, but SMART!!!
Bobbie Anne
Leslie,
I\’d really appreciate if you could do some of your Amazon shopping by entering in through BlogWithMom Amazon search bar which is found on the right hand column of the blog. Amazon will pay me 4% of any purchases that come through my blog and I can use that to pay for the fees to bring in larger giveaways.
Thank you,
Bobbie Anne
I’ve always wanted to try raw honey, but it ends up being too expensive, and I buy other things that I think I’ll use more often.
And I prefer shopping in store
Good luck!
Bobbie Anne
I agree, honey isn\’t used daily unless you are like me and love it on toast and especially warm tortillas! After my bag of tortillas is gone, I need to hold off on buying them for awhile. I think I ate three of them last night!!!
Bobbie Anne
Definitely online! I like amazon for general things, but I prefer small, privately owned shops/sites for specialty items, whenever possible.
Great answer Corey, as long as those small shops don\’t force heavy shipping fees on me, then I\’m in! Amazon pays me 4% of all sales that run through my site. I\’d appreciate it if you would enter my site a few times when shopping Amazon through my right hand sidebar. That extra money can help me pay for the fees to bring in larger giveaways on the blog.
Thank you,
Bobbie Anne
Do we need to comment here on everything we’ve done even if we use the widget above?
Nope, just use the widget and you\’re set up!
Bobbie Anne
Online. Any place, but I look for good reviews of companies. That honey looks delicious!
It is and I have to STOP eating it everyday!! The honey is good for me, but not all the tortillas that I love to eat it with!
Bobbie Anne
definitely going into a real store is my preference
Can’t wait to try these products! The health benefits are awesome!
Did you watch the movie?
I perfer to shop at the store! Thank You!
I prefer to shop online as I have small children. I really like Amazon. But I LOVE couponing so I can’t use them online. It’s a toss up. I find great deals both online and off.
My kids do not like going to the store with me when I have coupons….LOL
Bobbie Anne
I would love to win honey because I am out of it right now
That\’s the best time to win it and Tropical Traditions is quick to ship out their orders!
Bobbie Anne
I prefer shopping in person because I know exactly what I am getting.
Good luck on the honey!
Online. There’s no crowds and it’s easier with kids. I love Vitacost.
I\’ll have to check that out! Have you tried BeeSavy yet?
I like to shop in a brick and mortar manner!
I love online. Amazon is good for mainstream items, but I prefer privately owned small business sites for specialty items.
Good luck Corey, I just ate honey on an english muffin, MMMmmmmmm.
Bobbie ANne
It depends on what I am buying if I don’t need it right away and it if free or reasonable shipping I will buy online I found I can find really great deals on hard to find items online without all the running around otherwise I like getting it in the stores.
Definitely, I hate chasing down a certain item when I can find online easily.
Bobbie Anne
I would rather shop in person.
i love shopping online and my fave store is amazon
I prefer to shop in person. Thanks for the giveaway.
I prefer to shop online as it doesn’t matter what time it is. Also I don’t have to worry about my kids adding things to the cart 🙂 My favorite online shop is Amazon.
Most of the time i browse online, then purchase it at store.
Thanks,
