{Expired} Free 16 oz. Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions — with free shipping!
***This offer has now ended — I told you it would go fast!***
Okay, so I’m just a wee bit excited about this deal–especially since I’ve been really anxious to try coconut oil after hearing rave reviews of it from friends!
If you’ve never ordered from Tropical Traditions before, you can request a free 16-oz. jar of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. With FREE shipping! How’s that for a great deal?!
I just ordered mine and it was a piece of cake to do so. No credit card was required.
This offer is supposedly good through Thursday, April 29, 2010, but part of me wonders if they’ll be so swamped with orders once the word gets out that they shut it down early. So if you’re interested in this, go sign up now.
Thanks, Good Deal Mama!

I use it on my skin as an alternative to body lotion.
WOOT! I ordered mine. I’ve been anxious to try it as well. I can’t decide how to use mine…must ponder!
You can use it in place of butter in recipes, you can saute veggies in it, you can fry eggs in it, (it’s stable at higher heat temperatures), as well as an excellent facial and body moisturizer. Just put in the dehydrator or in a bowl of warm water to bring it backs to it’s liquid state. At temps cooler than 76 it will be solidified….
@Joy Yelton,
Thanks Joy! Does it taste ‘coconutty’? Or is it just like any other oil?
@sandy, The unrefined kinda (which this is) does have a slight coconut flavor. It will be noticeable, but not necessarily unpleasant, if you use if for sauting or frying. But in baking, you can’t tell at all. It’s also great for popping popcorn!
A non-baking use is as a moisturizering oil. It rubs in nicely and doesn’t leave you feeling super oily. And since it has anti-bacterial properties, I’ve heard it is good for baby bottoms.
I agree, it does have a slight coconut flavor, but very subtle. That has never deterred any of my kiddos, and believe me, that’s a winner in my book! It doesn’t seem to flavor smoothies, popcorn, only seems to flavor scrambled eggs ever so slightly or other sauteed items. It does have a wonderful coconut scent to it, and after using as a moisturizer, which I highly recommend, you smell divine!
I just ordered it. So easy! We’ll see what it looks like when it comes
Thank you SO MUCH for this tip!
Sweet! Just ordered mine.
This was very easy to do. I just ordered mine today and I can’t wait to get it! Thanks!
Great freebie!! I just ordered mine. I love to use coconut oil in cooking and also on my hair when it gets dry and frizzy!
Thank you! Just ordered mine!
That’s awesome!! Thanks so much!!
Wonderful. We use coconut oil in place of butter because of dairy allergies. It makes wonderful baked goods. Thanks!
Just ordered mine! Sooooooooo excited! Thank you!
I use it for baking, cooking and my skin. It’s SO wonderful!
I use it for cooking all the time. It’s the safest & healthiest oil to cook with
Just ordered mine…I am SO hoping this is legit because it’s a really exciting freebie!
Got mine! I just read a banana muffin recipe using coconut oil the other day that sounded awesome. Cant wait to try it out!
Fantastic! Thanks so much! I’ve always wanted to try to this product, but is typically so expensive that I just can’t bring myself to buy it.
I’ve never tried it…excited to do so! Thanks so much!
Wow, this is great! I’ve never tried it before but have been reading so much about it. Now, to decide how I want to use it
A friend got me hooked on coconut oil popcorn!! Its so yummy!! She makes her popcorn in an air popper and drizzles the heck out of it with melted coconut oil and a good helping of sea salt. I don’t have an air popper so I cook my popcorn in the coconut oil and then drizzle. Give it a try!!
@Wani,
You can put around 1/4-1/3 cup of kernels in a paper bag, fold the top a couple times, and microwave! No oil needed (until afterwards, of course
).
I use it as a sub for butter when baking for friends who are lactose intolerant or kids that have dairy allergies. It’s great.
Thanks!
I love to saute fresh green beans in it with garlic. My kids love it and don’t know it is good for them
!
I use organic, extra virgin, cold pressed coconut oil in cooking and baking. Our favorite movie night snack is stove top popcorn using coconut oil. I also use it as a furniture polish with a few drops of lavener added. And as a hair and body moisturizer.

Some of the Sonlight girls use this in their homemade natural deodorant.! :>)
We use coconut oil at our house for baking and the few things we fry. It is one of the few oils that can handle being heated to 350 degrees and above without turning rancid. It doesn’t really have any noticable odor or taste and it turns out some fantasticly tender baked goods.
I just ordered our sample, I’m pretty sure this will be shut down soon as it’s one of those ‘too good to be true’ samples.
just ordered mine, never tried it before. I am excited
I use it often in place of butter in our baking, makes a fabulous moist product. I also love to put it in our smoothies. It is SO good for you! It is also great for any rashes, etc on the skin.
I have been reading about coconut oil and have been wanting to try it.. Just ordered mine. Thank-you for finding this! Much appreciated!!
Going to be using it in my homemade deodorant with baking soda, cornstarch, and a few drops of tea tree and lavender EO!
Thanks for sharing this!!! This is an awesome freebie!!! I love coconut oil!
i have heard it makes for delicious popcorn!
Breezed through the first part, but having trouble placing the final order. I think the site just got swamped. Wait! As I was writing this, I got a confirmation through e-mail of my order. The order page never fully loaded though….weird. Great! Excited to try it!
I’ve never tried it but would love to. The page will not load no matter how long I wait!
Popcorn & granola.
I ordered mine & am excited to try it!
Half an hour after you posted this and they’ve ended it already! Rats, I was excited to try it, too!
The “add to cart” button is now missing. I’m guessing they got overloaded. =(
No longer availiable
Site says Offer Ended
This offer has now ended…while my order was trying to process…bummer.
I tried too. It said the offer had ended.
It’s a great natural moisturizer for my AA daughters hair! And the unrefined coconut oil does smell deliciously of real coconut.
I understand it’s a healthful cooking oil too and hope to try that!
Now, if only I can get the cart page to load. . .
Well, it loaded and I put the coconut oil in my cart ($0) and was proceeding through check-out, but when the last page to confirm the order came up, it said my cart was empty. When I went back to place it in my cart again the offer had suddenly ended.
we don’t cook with it, we use it instead of lotion on chapped skin. Even on our infant’s winter skin, it works great. It is also a “natural sunscreen”. Native islanders used it on their skin. We used it all last summer and not a single on of my littles burned. (do note though that it is liquid when it is warm out… )
I finally got on, clicked on offer to sign up and right in the middle of it the offer ended. Boo. I was so excited about this. I love coconut oil.
I got to the site, put the jar in my cart, filled out the shipping info and it said my cart was empty. Went back to the start up page and it said the offer is ended. BUMMER!!
Just got word on that the offer has ended! Bummer!
I got all the way through to the last step of the process — while each page lasted an eternity — and it said I had no items in my cart. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
i tryed forever several times to get thru and now it has ended im sad was excited to try!
I use coconut oil all the time. I get the expeller pressed for regular cooking. This virgin oil I like to use for sunscreen on me & my babies!
This was not fair. I got to the site, the offer was still valid, so I added it to my cart, When I finally got to checkout, it said that my cart was empty and the offer had ended. I just wasted about 30 minutes waiting on the pages to load.
Been using it since last Dec. and get mine from Tropical Traditions. Sign up for their newsletter and you’ll get word about specials. I use the virgin coconut oil in baking sweet things, and use the expeller pressed (no taste or odor) for other cooking and frying. I recently started using it as a deodorant and yes, it has been working for me for weeks. It’s a lotion, good for chapped lips, and good for trying on almost any skin aliment.
“This offer has ended”.
Note: Due to more than expected responses to this offer, this offer has ended as we are out of stock on this item. Please check back at a later date when we run this offer again.
Already ended! That sure was quick!!
I missed out!
You’re right, they ended it early.
Oh, we love our coconut oil and other coconut products from Tropical Traditions.
I recently tried pan popping popcorn with coconut oil. I love it. Doesn’t give the popcorn a coconut taste at all. And it’s really good.
So sad….no more left….
Bummer–that went fast! Oh well, I already have a large jar of coconut oil.
I use mine for deep frying, and I’ve also used it in making homemade deodorant from a “recipe” on passionatehomemaking.com.
I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun experimenting with it!
Cool! I just ordered mine! It took a while for the website to come up but it FINALLY did! Thanks!!
Thanks for posting! I was able to get my order in before it ended. I use this to make homemade granola bars – YUM!
This week I picked up a 16 Oz Jar of Coconut Oil at Whole Foods Market to try out because my father & father in-law have encouraged me to use it. My father uses coconut oil for cooking and frying. My father also uses it in homemade lotions. Coconut oil is great for your skin! My sister in-law knows some women who use coconut oil in their cooking and have seen changes in their skin, it helps keep their skin soft. Since coconut oil is not a animal fat it is very healthy for you! Coconut oil when is used on your skin can help heal damaged skin and keep it looking younger.
It seems to me that coconut oil is a great product and I am excited to try the jar that I bought this week.
I’ve used coconut oil on my skin and hair for a couple of years now. It is wonderful! My kids like using it, too.
I LOVE Tropical Traditions coconut oil! It is SO good for you…the best of the best!
I use it for all kinds of things. One of my favorites is this recipe for homemade HEALTHY chewy granola bars: http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/homemade-chewy-granola-bars-without-corn-syrup
They are so easy to make, so good for you, and so yummy! Ooh, and much less expensive than store bought granola bars!
I love adding coconut oil to my smoothies for myself and my children. It contains medium-chain fatty acids, which are very difficult to find in nutritional sources other than breastmilk. It’s critical for brain development, and also aids in healthy weight-management. Apparently, if you are deficient on one type of fat, your body automatically stores more of other types of fats in your diet. So, just adding this one healthy fat has helped my weight, and some other health problems. Enjoy!
It’s also good just on toast in the morning. Yum.
coconut oil is the best! a great way to get it really cheap is to check ethnic markets, especially indian grocery stores – indian people use coconut oil in their hair and on their skin, it makes it soft and shiny, just like the previous commenters have said. if you pick it up at the indian grocery you can save at least 30% off from a whole foods
I tried for an hour to order this and it kept giving me an error message when I tried to get to the confirmation page. I filled out the shipping and billing info and can only hope that it went through on their end.
We eat 3 green smoothies a day and use coconut oil in it as a source of healthy fat.
So sad to have missed this deal!
@Jessica @ Life as I See It,
My husband loves to cook his eggs and pancakes in it for breakfast!
I hear it works good for Excema.
I can’t believe I actually got something before they ran out. THAT’S never happened before!!! Thanks! Pays to visit Moneysavingmom.com first thing!
I’m so sad! I’ve been wanting to try coconut oil but just haven’t taken the plunge because of the expense. This would have been perfect.
Please let us know when this is available again, It says it will be. i will be checking back every week i know that!
