Saving Money with Young Living!

Saving money with Young Living is like a snowball! At first, you are just collecting “snowflakes,” but soon, these snowflakes grow into a snowball. As you begin to push it, it gradually picks up momentum and grows by itself.

This page shows you a number of ways you can start saving from the moment you join Young Living!

1. Start Living with Everyday Oils Kit
With Young Living, people being by purchasing a few essential oils- typically the Start Living with Everyday Oils Kit. The money saving starts with this first order! How? These nine oils can be used in a number of different ways for hundreds of things!

No longer will you have to go out and buy so many different products. Each of these 5 ml bottles contains 80-85 drops, and with each application usually taking only a drop or two, they last a long time.

2. A FREE Essential Oils Desk Reference (EDR)

People who join Young Living with the enroller number 481494 receive a FREE EDR when they enroll with one of these three Start Living Kits:

• Start Living with Essential Oils
• Start Living with Thieves
• Start Living with NingXia Red

Contact me for (a) further details or (b) to learn how you can receive both the spiral-bound EDR and the hardcover EDR for FREE!

3. Save Money with Essential Rewards Autoship
This is another way that you can save money from the moment you enroll in Young Living! If you sign up for autoship now, this means that a year from now, you will be getting 20$ PV (Personal Volume) back towards FREE products!

The autoship program also means

• reduced shipping costs
• advance notice of the next month’s specials
• special money-saving “packs” that are available only as autoship items

4. Kits, Collections, Multiples, and More
Any time you purchase a Young Living Kit, you save money because you get to try a large number of oils at a fraction of the cost that it would be when they are purchased by the bottle.

5. Plan Ahead
If you are on autoship, you get a few days advance notice of the next month’s specials. In November or December, Young Living typically offers a fabulous special. In recent years, Young Living has had only one price increase per year – in January or February when the new price list comes out. Distributors don’t have a crystal ball, but if you have reason to believe that a given product may be going up, I’d stock up on it before the new price list comes out.

6. Young Living Specials
Young Living offers specials every month. These are typically in the form of FREE product and a product that is 10% off.

7. Specials by Related Companies
Companies with complimentary products also offer specials during the year. Some are monthly and some are not. My favorites come from YL Wisdom, Abundant Health, and Sound Concepts.

8. Application Methods
Some application methods use more essential than others. For example, inhaling directly from the bottle makes the oil last a long time, whereas diffusing it does not. Taking an essential oil in capsule form means that almost 50% of it is lost to stomach acid. The brave, money-conscious consumer might prefer to put one or two drops of oil on the right thumb, stick the thumb to the roof of the mouth or the inside of the cheeks, let it sit there for a minute or two, and let the oil go directly into the bloodstream.

CAUTION: Always consult the EDR for all essential oil uses and applications. This information is being written with the assumption that only Young Living essential oils are being used.

9. Consider the “Clock” of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
What if you could get more benefit from your essential oils, just from taking them at a certain time of day? Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff, in her book “Ultimate Balance,” shares the “organ clock” of TCM, along with her own additions.

For example, TCM teaches that the heart is “in the limelight” from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. According to TCM, this is when it is most active and can best use its oils and supplements. When I see that it is 11:00 a.m., I reach for my CardiaCare supplement.

10. Recycle Those Empty Essential Oil Bottles
Re-using those empty essential oil bottles can help save money in a number of ways. For example, if you would like to have the Abundance blend in your briefcase, at your office, and in your home, don’t order three bottles. Just pour one-third of the bottle into an empty bottle, do this once more, and your original bottle has one-third remaining!

When you want to share with a friend, what about giving them an empty bottle of that oil? Or even a bottle with only a few drops remaining.

11. Transfer Buying
I used to have a special cleaning product for this and a special cleaning product for that. Now that I’ve discovered the powerful Thieves Cleaner, I use it for almost all my cleaning. This not only saves money, but also clears clutter.

Once you discover for yourself the power of the Young Living essential oils, you may want to experiment with their products containing essential oils. For example, Gary Young’s research shows that supplements containing essential oils are more readily absorbed than the same supplement without essential oils. His research shows that absorption can be as great as 88% more, though the average is around 55% more. Which would you rather spend money on, 1000 mg of vitamin C with 25% absorption or 500 mg vitamin C with 55% absorption because of the added essential oils?

12. Pay Now or Pay Later
When it comes to health, there’s an often-repeated saying, “Pay now or pay later.” What this means is that if we pay for quality health products, food, exercise, and other positive lifestyle choices NOW, these choices will most likely pay off with fewer medical expenses down the road. People who don’t make these lifestyle choices now may seem to save money now, but down the road, they will end up paying dearly.

This concept is similar to a savings account. You put money in now in order to grow the benefits you will have in the future.

I hope that you have found this page valuable and that it provides you with some new ideas as to how you can join Young Living and begin saving money now.
