Vitacost is the best free alternative to Thrive Market — no membership required, prices 15–25% below retail, and a solid GF selection. Good GF filtering tools make it easy to shop safely. Not quite as deep as Thrive Market but excellent for those who don't want a subscription.
iHerb is worth knowing about for specialty GF products and international brands you won't find elsewhere. Prices are competitive and they ship worldwide. The GF selection is decent but not as strong as Amazon or Thrive for mainstream GF grocery brands.
Use both Amazon and Thrive Market together. They complement each other perfectly — Thrive for your regular GF staples at 25-40% off, Amazon for anything you need fast or can't find on Thrive.
