6 Life-Enhancing Things Worth Buying Online
Published on February 22, 2011 by chloejo · 6 CommentsWe still have yet to find certain things at our local health food store, for these few items – we go online and feel no shame. Hey, that’s what offsetting is for. Here they are;
1. Veganu Soap
Veganu Natural Bar Soap, $1.15 @veganessentials.com
We’ve yet to find a vegan soap (yep, most soaps contain repulsive things like animal bones or sheep sweat) that leaves us as clean feeling and repel sweat as naturally like this one does. Plus it has a nice gender neutral smell, and lasts forever.
2. Field Roast Sausages
These are easier to find, but if you for some reason don’t have them available at your local Whole Foods, order them online. They are game-changing on a grill or stir-fry. Smoked apple-sage is our favorite flavor.
Field Roast Grain Meat Sausages, $6.99 @veganstore.com
3. Dr. Fuhrman’s DHA
Dr. Fuhrman’s DHA Purity, $37.99 @drfuhrman.com
Just some of the fabulous things DHA’s are proven to accomplish: reducing menstrual cramps, relieving depression, reducing Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms, lowering the risk of Heart Disease, and reducing symptoms and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis. We’ve talked before about how these ease our spirits in the winter. Dr. Fuhrman’s are the best vegan DHA’s we’ve found.
4. Cri De Coeur or OlsenHaus Boots or Heels
Harmony OlsenHaus, $330 @olsenhaus.com
Payless shoes just don’t come close in terms of quality and you aren’t supporting a small vegan company – you are supporting a mammoth corporation. If you don’t live near a vegan boutique, you need to own at least one pair of gorgeous skin-free shoes to show your friends how chic vegan can be! Can’t afford the expensive styles? Shop the sale sections online in the off season and look out for coupon codes. We have codes for both lines in our cheapskates section on this very site!
5. Sweet & Sara Marshmallows
Cinnamon Pecan Marshmallows, $5.95 @sweetandsara.com
Orgasm in a box. Better than any mallows we had pre-veganism. Oh, and did we mention Sara (the adorable mistress of marshmallows who owns this genius company) also makes vegan smores and Rice Crispy Treats?
6. Dr. Cow’s Cheese
Tree Nut Cheese Box 5 aged + 1 cream cheese $80/box Shipping Included - Next day Air, @dr-cow.com
If you are a wine & cheese connoisseur, and can’t stomach Daiya raw on a cracker, you haven’t heard about Dr. Cow’s yet. It’s artisan-made, raw, organic, elegant, and one of the most delicious things that has ever gone in our mouths. And the cashew cream cheese on a baguette? Faaagettaboutit….
What are the goodies you buy online?

Love Dr Cow, helped me to go vegan! I also order Match Meats. I love the Italian sausage. I usually order these items from veganstore.com or veganessentials.com.
Field Roast is by far one of the most delicious foods I have ever eaten. I take the apple sage and saute it like a mother f*ker w/ some kale, garlic, raisins and pecans. OH and the chipotle flavor is really good too but mad hot! I like throwing that in some homemade veggie chili. The Celebration Roast is divine but the meatloaf, I’d pass. I have a dream of Field Roast burgers, I hope they make ‘em. Dr. Cow’s “cream cheese” is really good too but damn they charge a lot for such a tiny container.
I agree, coming from a former cheese-a-holic, now turned vegan…Dr. Cow’s cheese is EXCELLENT. It tastes like real aged cheese. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I use it on crackers and baguettes for picnics in the park. :)
Sweet N Sara Marshmallows…….my faves are the Strawberry and Toasted Coconut. Get the Sampler…for all the flavors.
Move over Tofurkey….Celebration Roast by Field Roast is the King!! The Chipotle sausage is awesome by itself as a sub with a good bakery baguette OR browned and crumbled across Spanish Rice or on top of Nachos or stuffed in Taco Shells.
I started wearing vegan shoes well over 15 years ago – the quality and workmanship i so worth the price. They wear like iron – and that is so refreshing. Friendly and cutting down on waste is so what I am looking for!
Luckily, I can get my Sweet and Sara fix at my local Sticky Fingers (I’m in DC).
@Virtual Vegan: Did you try Gardein’s Stuffed Turk’y Roast? Best holiday roast EVER, but it’s only available around the holidays. If I had a huge freezer at home, I would stock up.
