I needed some household items, such as aluminum foil, cooking oil, aspirin, some clothes hangars, just basic stuff. Someone suggested I should order through Azure and have them delivered to my doorstep in a box a day or so later. I considered it momentarily, but decided instead to simply go to the Dollar Store and pick up what I needed. The weather was nice and I didn't feel like ordering anything online and it seemed like a nice opportunity to leave my computer off and my smartphone in my jacket pocket.
My Azure order closes in 2 days. I went back and ordered more of the Azure Clean products 🎉 Many were on sale ‼️, so I grabbed multiples! I love how clean their cleaning products are! In these uncertain times STOCK UP on today’s prices!
Prices are horrible. But I try to watch my sales and clearance sections. If azure pick up was closer to me I would order from them. But 2 hours one way doesn't make it economical
Love Azure so much. I agree about the inflation and being prepared. I just wanted to suggest a few things that have helped me save more money. I started making my own cream cheese, sour cream, and yogurt from raw milk. We drink that and have a good source for it but you can also use milk from store if you don’t have a source. Also making your own apple cider vinegar is so easy as well. You probably already know about these things, but just wanted to mention as it has saved me money. I am working on other things such as our own ketchup and mayo next! Thank you for the video!
I just started making our own mayo this year, and I'm hooked! I use Carolyn's recipe, from the Homesteading Family.....with sauerkraut juice. It's so good!! Your comment about sour cream, yogurt and cream cheese are so true! I really need to make that my priority in 2023. I do have an amazing source for raw milk, and I have no excuses. And look for an ACV video soon! :) Thank you for watching!
@@TheHappyHomestead you should do another haul, more than 1100, with current incoming shortages etc, and you have children, invest in up to 3 years worth, cause things are looking Grimmy 😢🥹🥹
I have replaced all of our cooking/baking oil with lard, nobody can tell the difference, I actually gave my husband a blind taste test with two muffins side by side and he thought it was opposite of which one was lard vs oil, but then said unless you ate them side by side you wouldn’t notice anything different. I do tend to use a little bit less lard then however much oil the recipe calls for. We raise our own pigs outdoors and I render the lard myself 👌
I LOVE that butter! I get 10 lbs a month. lol. . I am a drop coordinator for Azure, and just love their stuff! I like that they don't have any additives, or preservatives, GMO's and that they are mostly Organic. . AMAZING company! :)
Rumano butter is the only butter I will use now. It is so good and you can REALLY taste the difference with very good quality butter vs. commercial bought butter. Ive purchased 2 boxes on every order this year to store in freezer lol. We place a large Azure order every December and do not order again until April or May (I live in the North and we stay off the roads as much as possible in the harsh winter months) so we stock up before winter hits. I have purchased the dried mushrooms- Pistol River brand- and really enjoy them in various ways. Im known to not use mushrooms soon enough if bought fresh so I enjoy having them on hand for my dinners plus I know in the winter I always have some available. Please review the mushroom soup blend. I have seen it but have not purchased but sounds so good.
I just have to add another comment. You are so blessed to have Azure Standard! We do not have them in Canada! Many years ago I could order from them when the exchange was closer to par. Alberta has a few drop offs but I don't know how they do it. Also I would suggest you check the ingred on your apple cider vinegar. I was just learning that Bragg's, which was bought out awhile ago now adds water. So I am on a search for a different brand.
Highly suggest you check out Azure if there is a drop not too far. Azure ACV ingredient list is "certified raw, unfiltered ACV". Video coming soon on how to make your own too.
I have an Azure order coming next week that will finish off my year supply. My plan is just to avoid buying anything except for an occasional fresh item. I have a feeling prices will get so high, it may not be safe to even go to the store.
Good question! Mainly just because it is so highly processed. All oils are....and I'm trying to be very aware of how much and what kind I use. I'm a sucker for a good olive oil....but for high temp cooking, I'll go with lard. For baking, I prefer coconut oil and I like to sub apple sauce for any oil too.
@@TheHappyHomestead: When using coconut oil do you do a 1:1 ratio? Also what is your ratio for subbing apple sauce? 1:1? Do you use a sweetened or unsweetened apple sauce? Do you use bacon drippings? Where do you get your lard because I heard the store bought ones are mixed with stuff (not pure)?
I use home canned unsweetened applesauce, just my preference. And you can use a one to one ratio. But I usually just add enough to get the batter to the right consistency. Most conventional recipes are very oil heavy.
I render our own lard from the pig we get once every 18 months. And I do use bacon drippings, usually for frying up eggs. Check out a local butcher for lard, or local farm. Render yourself for the most pure lard.
I wanted to mention that canola oil is an herbicide, glad to hear you are fazing it out, one more thing regarding semolina Italians use semolina in pizza pans, or on the wood paddle, they don't use cornmeal, I love your channel. I have not joined Azure, I have know about it for ions, but with a drop in my area, and being elderly, and not driving, I'm not certain about the shipping, I need to call them also I'm on a limited income. I love that you speak so clearly, now I'm wondering where you are from? Have a great Sunday. Ha, you and I both live in the South, without southern accents.
You can always coordinate an Azure drop in your area. :) I'm in NC, but grew up in PA. And a Speech Communication major in college...who would have known it would be useful?! ha
I just made some sauerkraut and bought the lids and weights you recommended. The brine is covering the cabbage but there is no liquid coming up in the plastic thing. Did I do something wrong??
Liquid doesn't always come up....sounds like you did it great! I find that some of mine overflow when I fill too high, and the brine is too close to the top. I have 9 half gallons fermenting now, and only 2 are overflowing. So, if you have enough space, you won't have any leaking. The goal is to keep air out....while letting the ferment still breathe.
@@TheHappyHomestead thanks so much. You are an inspiration. I have an order ready to go with Azure too. I'll see how it goes and then decide whether to do it again.
You would actually need to check out the azure website to get the most accurate pricing. There can be fluctuations depending upon the season and how the harvest went. But I usually find the quality is so much more economical than anything I would find anywhere else.
@@TheHappyHomestead OK, yes, I went in & checked. Thank you. There is a pickup point not far, 30 minutes. I may start ordering from them. So many content providers really like them that I watch on u toob.
Azure is like a co-op, or health food distributor. No minimum order. No membership fees. No contracts. You order, and pick up at the closest drop point.
I don’t put oil in my sourdough loaves. But in sweet breads (which is probably what you are asking about), I either use coconut oil, applesauce or a combo of both.

You have one very determined young man there. He has alot of chuzpah!
Thank you so much for sharing your haul! I am considering Azure for my family in the near future so your video was so helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed 😊
What a great young gentleman you have with you! Raising a good man right there.

Your son is really helping,and he's building up his muscles
I love your Azure order reviews. It gives me a heads up on their products for my next order. Thank you so much.
Your little guy worked so hard.
I caught someone snooping! 😁

Love your bulk buys . It’s so unfortunate that we don’t have anything similar in the uk .
What great helpers!!
Great order, so many yummy things and you always have such good information like the hot dogs! thanks!!!

So glad to hear. I just picked up my order. I ordered 10 of the Rumiano butter. Can’t wait to try it?
Portlandia ketchup is THE BEST!! I buy it in the box now!! When on sale at Azure, the box is cheaper there than on the company website.
I am hoping to be able to do an azure order on the 1st when I get paid..Thank you for reminding me. This was fun to watch..Thank you for sharing.

I have never had problems with bugs in Azure flour. I guess it depends on where one lives.
It actually never happened in Azure flour.....but it can happen in all flour. It starts in the wheat field.
I’ve never heard pickled jalapeño and carrot called that before. I’ve only ever heard it called Escabeche.
Your son is the best part of this video 😂
I think so too. 😀
Love ur channel n learning alot n just think I'm 65 LOL😊
Thank you so much!! You are never too old, or too young, to learn. I wish I learned these things 20 years ago! We shall learn together. :)
Butternut squash make a MUCH better "pumpkin pie" than pie pumpkins. If you buy a can of pumpkin pie filling it includes squash. Just try it!
Oh I love butternut pie, probably more than pumpkin! I'll be making them also. :)
You can use any winter squash in pies actually that is all I ever use and Iama qualified chef.
New to your channel, I really enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your order , I also order from Azure good to know what others are buying . I am in NC also .
I love the Azure dishwashing powder too! LOVE!!!
I have an Azure order coming next week that will finish off my year supply. My plan is just to avoid buying anything except for an occasional fresh item. I have a feeling prices will get so high, it may not be safe to even go to the store.
I was so excited when you talked about the mushroom soup blend and I went and looked at the ingredients and saw Yeast extract which is MSG. Super sad.
It’s actually not quite the same thing as MSG, not nearly the level of glutamate concentration.
It's not exactly the same thing.
That's were the taste comes from!
Yeast extract is that like nutritional yeast which is really high in B12 and tastes cheesy,/mami ?
@@vanessarheadart9708 i don't think they're the same thing.
Can I ask why you are fazing out avocado oil? I thought it is a good high smoke point oil to use.

Hi how long does the cottage cheese last?
I've had it last a couple of months (2-3).
I apologize if I missed it but do you plan to participate in a pantry challenge in January?
Yes!!! I can’t wait! My pantry and freezers are busting at the seams.
Awesome haul!!!!
Can we say Dolly/handcart.
What are the prices on Einhorn flours & others?
I've never done an Azure pickup.

i think the einkorn berries are 75. for 25 lbs.
Take some of the apple cider vinegar, water, and an apple. Ferment. You have your own home made.
Check out the latest video. ❤️
Can't find a drop off in my area ?
You can reach out to Azure and see if there are plans for one...
So smart
What is Azure? Is it like a Costco or Sam's Club?
Azure is like a co-op, or health food distributor. No minimum order. No membership fees. No contracts. You order, and pick up at the closest drop point.
@@TheHappyHomestead Interesting. Thank you.
Is the butter raw or pastured?
It is pasteurized cream.
What oil do you use in your bread?
I don’t put oil in my sourdough loaves. But in sweet breads (which is probably what you are asking about), I either use coconut oil, applesauce or a combo of both.
Please do more cheese videos.
They are coming....I've been filming them all over the last few weeks. :)

Mushroom causes fungus no thank you but the other interesting
