Do you ever start a project with zest and vitality only to feel like you’ve created an uncontrollable monster after a couple hours?
Examples: Cleaning out your closet. Organizing a pantry. Home renovations. Writing a thesis. Wedding thank yous. Sometimes, it has to get worse before it gets better.
Well, that’s sort of how I felt with this little pet project of mine. What started as an innocent list quickly became a huge undertaking. I asked you for suggestions yesterday on twitter and Facebook for online and in-person stores and they came a floodin’ in! (If you are curious, check out the list here on my Facebook page). My list quickly turned into 4 pages of chicken scratch. Originally, I started making a blog post linking and organizing ALL of the in-store and online vegan stores across the world. You can see how I quickly got in over my head. After working on it all day yesterday, I decided to just focus on the online stores for this post and then figure out what I will do with the storefront list after.
This vegan online shopping guide is a follow-up to Monday’s “Inside my Vegan Pantry” post. My goal for this guide today is to bring awareness to all of the wonderful vegan & vegan-friendly online stores. Feel free to do some price comparing to get the best bang for your buck.
Most of the stores below are food-related, but I also included some clothing and cosmetics as well.
I will add to this list as other recommendations come in (feel free to let me know about other online stores in the comment section!). It’s also likely that I missed some of your suggestions on Twitter and FB yesterday, so you can comment below if you don’t see it on the list and I will add it in.

Tell me below what I’m missing from this list!
I get my spices, chia seeds and goji berries from this website. http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/

vegan shoe retailer based out of NYC
Angela,
Thank you very much for this list and the pantry list! It is much appreciated. I realize it was time consuming and am grateful to have both resources to assist in eating healthier. Love your blog! You are a true inspiration. Thank you!
Neverfeltbettervegan.com is a local store here in Sacramento, CA that does online shipping too. The oweners are really nice and they have a variety of items from food to clothing.
www.everydayminerals.com is a fantastic online cruelty-free make-up company. I love their products, and it is SO affordable.
This helps a great deal! I’m always looking for vegan websites that ship to Canada! Thanks!!
Hey Angela-
Hail Merry is AMAZING! They make vegan and gluten-free foods… the macaroons are awesome! I recently moved to Texas and found them in my local Whole Foods, but you can also order online. Here’s the info for online ordering:

Thanks for putting this list together- it makes things super easy and convenient!
It’s nice to have master lists like this compiled…now if only someone else’s credit card came with it so I could go virtual shopping :)
Not strictly vegan but fantastic nonetheless:
http://www.realfoods.co.uk/
Both a shop irl in Edinburgh and online, it has free delivery over £15, really important for me as I live in a remote part of Scotland, especially as every other company seems to have extortionate delivery charges!
Love the blog btw, recently started reading and think it’s great x
I was so confused by that picture… I was like why is there a weird rubber tire in that shopping cart? OH, it’s an at symbol! Hahahaha. :)
Awesome resource – thank you so much, Angela!
I’m moving to Australia at the end of this summer (from Canada), and this is going to be hugely helpful :) Thanks so much Angela.
This is SUPER helpful as, being in Canada, I feel as though every time I hear about a new store I then find out it’s in the States and either doesn’t ship to Canada or wants to charge the earth to do so! Thanks Ange!
Thanks for helping my online shopping addiction : )
Healthy foods are ok! haha
It’s clothes I have to be careful about…
I do what I can ;)
Here in the UK, when I can’t get to Wholefoods, I use Planet Organic and Goodness Direct! :)
This is great! You’ve really spent time in helping your readers out!
As I said in the previous post, I (like a lot of us Europeans) use www.iherb.com because of the cheap postages all around the world. With most companies the postage is so high that there is no point in ordering – iherb is the only one that I’ve found worhy of ordering from.
Psst! First time customers get a five dollar discount with the code KOS436.
wow that is great to know, will make a note!
For the UK goodnessdirect.co.uk is a really good site for all types of dietry requirements. Thats were I get all my ‘weird’ food as it’s called in my family!
iherb is also popular with UK bloggers & readers as they have really cheap international shipping if your order is less than 4 pounds in weight.
Second vote for well.ca! Not vegan myself, but a quick search showed 507 products ranging from soaps to soups :)
I’ve ordered all kinds of stuff from them including chia seeds, apple cider vinegar, quinoa, etc. I love the free shipping no matter how much your order costs, and their customer service is top notch.
Oooh, I can’t wait to check these links out! Thanks for the resources! As far as a storefront, I keep being impressed by Costco. :-) I get my huge bags of chia seeds and quinoa and wild rice there…not to mention lots of organic frozen/fresh produce. Wonderful.
For us Canadians, well.ca is a great resource, especially if you live in a more remote area where specialty foods are harder to come by. Their prices tend to be a little marked up, but they offer FREE shipping on any order anywhere in Canada!
