I just found your video this morning. And during the video when you were showing the baking goods you talk about doing a lot of baking do you make videos of you baking would love to see some
A friend’s mother was skinny and would NOT drink milk. I will never forget how devastated she was when she was told that she had the worst osteoporosis. Drinking milk is ok unless you have an allergy. If you don’t smoke, drink compulsively and are active then stop beating yourself up. You are beautiful and in good nick so chin up and be proud for your contribution to your family’s life and wellbeing and to society in general.
Hi Julie! It seems strange to say because I'm older than you are but how I wish I'd of had a mother that taught me everything I've learned from you! My guilty pleasure has been homemade hot cocoa for the past 6 or 7 months and my figure shows it. But I can't help it! I love it so much and seems to provide such comfort (though I don't know why I need So much comfort!)
Love the video..we do not have an area close to us..we would have to drive over an hour away; we try very hard to plant a big garden, so I can put up as much as possible..groceries are really expensive these days..we do alot of coupon shopping, and try to buy in bulk the items we cannot grow..lol..we do have some amish farms fairly close by..there stuff is really good as well..I love watching Maranda Christine too, and you too..lol..i look forward to you n Miranda's videos..yall stay safe..pray for everyone that's in hurricane Ian's path, please..I know everyone is so nervous with the chance of it hitting them..we are not yet, in the direct cone, but pray it doesn't destroy lives or homes..
If you have a natural grocers nearby they set out the over ripe bananas and mark them down really cheap. Great to grab and freeze for smoothies and baked goods. I live in north Texas.
Good for you julie, doing better. My weakness are salty crunchy things. My most fav of all is onion dip and potato chips. I also love popping my own popcorn.so much healthier .microwave popcorn has some cancer concerns just like the people who worked in the plant making it, they developed popcorn lung. You can look up about it. Glad you like azure standard.i love the bags they come in too!
Well that's pretty cool we don't have anything like that here we have dillons here I just love my dillons we use the plus card they have I can save anywhere from 5 dollars to 100 dollars depending how much ya buy and it also gives you so much off your gas to so yes yes I love my dillons store I save save save I don't buy organic we don't like it and it's always being recalled sometimes so I find good food and watch my ingredients and is good for you to. its like anything else you got to take your time and watch what you buy if you like it then we'll buy it. It's total what you like actually getting ready to go to my wonderful dillons now. Thanks for sharing love your videos. God Bless!!
I used to order from Azure a lot. I love them. Unfortunately, now that I can't drivel, I can't order easily. The drops are always during the week. Their spices are the best deals, in my opinon. White rice has a long shelf life while brown rice goes rancid fairly fast. I freeze all my brown rice.
I love that you buy in bulk. I live in the south and our prices are cheaper than what you paid. I think you can do better. Shop around.. Liked the video.
Julie, my husband likes chocolate milk too. He dilutes it with regular milk, (1) part each. Maybe you can try that to stretch your 3 lil cartons per week!
I will definitely be checking Azure out! We eat nothing but whole foods especially since my husband is a kidney dialysis patient. My strong recommendation is no to brown rice, it is the worse for your body to digest. Do your research. We were keto but now we are Paleo. My body loves it and it is working well for my husband. We eat no dairy to speak of, just one cup of coffee a week with some heavy cream, yes one cup on Saturday afternoon with some delicious Hu Chocolate. Try that, you will be surprised at how good it is. They have it with Hazelnut. I am going to check them out and see if they carry organic coconut sugar and raw honey. Those are the only two sweeteners we use. Thank you so much for this video! Great info and these days we all need to save $.
Truthfully I don't see they're any cheaper. In fact....a lot of things are more expensive compared to where I live in the South. Did enjoy the video though! Have a blessed day!
I agree. Im in the Midwest and I can get most of these brands cheaper at my Natural Grocers, but i am a sales shopper. Good to see an honest video on their prices.
You gave me some new ideas of things to try. I’ve been ordering from Azure for the past couple of years since we got a drop zone in my area, prior to that we would have had to drive over an hour. My favorite is the raw milk cheddar cheese. It’s so delicious. The price is less than half for raw milk cheddar in my area. I’m also a big milk drinker, because I’m in VA the distance my order travels makes me hesitate to order milk for Azure. I have found a good local source for milk in my area. For spices I order from Thrive Market when I can’t get them from Azure. I mostly get our groceries from Azure, Thrive Market, and Aldi. My family is also trying to eat healthier and Azure helps us do that. This morning I’m off to the farmer’s market another source for my groceries.
Ive always wanted a true comparison of thrive market. It sounds good but i have gone on there website to compare but i had a hard time seeing all the prices could be im not computer savy or im not a member
If looking for SIMPLE Old fashioned ingredients, thier dairy selection refreshing! Grass fed/raw/organic, you CAN find, no preservatives, no gaur gums, nofillers. ( You still have to read labels) I am finding in STORES "natural/organic" shelf items are increasing thier stretchers ( starches/preservatives ) but no mention of " recipe/label changes" Their bulk flours, grains, honey are often things I also can not find in my area ( cheaper than Amzon) Thier Organic onions are HUGE often lasts months if stored properly. Store onions often lose thier protective skins. I purchase the bulk and freeze some ( saves$) Like everything, you have to shop around, especially now. I was not a fan of thier cocoa powder/chocolate chips. (Had a fruity flavor) but maybe I am just used to more processed kinds. Thier selection of Dried fruit is HUGE, very hard to find apple juice infused ( for sweetener) cranberries, and others without sulfur dioxide etc. You can order once a year, a month, whatever. No membership FEES. Thrive market has its place depending on your diet, size of family etc. Package sizes are smaller. But they have allot of premade special diet items. When "things" were sketchy.. I did use them. ( Didn't know about Azure.) To me Azure is the Supermarket, a once per month stock up, and Thrive is the specialty/boutique. My goal is to be stocked so I don't have to go to Azure pick ups, this winter. Not sure I can " stop" though. 😆 Thier customer service is wonderful...a real live person too!
You can take 1/3 cup of popcorn and put in a lunch sized brown paper bag, fold down the opening a few times and pop it in the microwave. Mine takes about 3 minutes. No oil needed. Then season with butter or ghee, white cheddar powder,, salt and pepper.. I've used their regular pop corn, but just got their mushrooms pop corn. So good.
There is a coconut milk in chocolate flavor, very good name is Rebel, individual serving . It's my favorite, sugar is hard to get away from since they sneak it in products.
White rice isn’t bad for you. Brown rice does have more nutrition, yes, but as long as your supplementing what white rice is lacking with another food you’re fine. Also, brown rice tends to be more arsenic than white rice. The healthiest rice you can get is organic white basmati rice grown in Cali. Check out Lundberg from Azure. I buy their rice every month! So good!! Great video! Let us know if the coffee is stronger! We love us some strong coffee! 😊
It’s good to stock up on essentials. Remember the empty shelves when Covid hit?! Scary!!! By the way Pioneer woman has a delicious taco seasoning recipe on her website that I go by. Thanks for the tips!! And my guilty pleasure is chips and salsa.
I laughed out loud when you said whole wheat organic brown rice lol. We are almost empty nesters so I can probably foist some of that whole wheat and brown rice now but when my kids were little....it was not happening! We do like brown rice but white rice is much more enjoyable. We do eat whole wheat bread and some whole wheat pastas, but we aren't really huge pasta eaters. We are slowly switching over to Tinkyada Brown rice pastas, which we think are very good.
At the drop in my area there area always people helping others load stuff in their car. I am sure you could get help with the lifting in your area. Maybe sign up for a drop and talk to the drop co ordinator.
@@karenuber5500 Thank you for your help unfortunately I cannot walk either very far I get tired very easily so thank you and there’s only two of us here in the house thank you again and God bless
Oh my goodness, I completely forgot about Azure!!! I use to from them 100 years ago when I lived in Houston. I mean like early 90's! They were doing drop offs way back then. I never had a problem them with the exception of being out of stock, then if I had to have off to HEB I'd go. I'll have to see if I can get them here. Thanks so much for sharing!! (My guilty pleasure is ANYthing chocolate! I like chocolate cake, ice cream, p-nut cups and yes even milk) 🍫🥸
I’ve been wanting to try out the Azure Standard for my bulk pantry staples and spices. Do they refund you for all the items you ordered but didn’t get??
Pre -packaged seasonings ,like taco, & flavor packs w. Raman noodles ,I don't use ,because they put sand in it. It's called " food grade sand" Anti clumping agent ,Yuck !!!
If you can find raw milk near you it's SO much healthier than pasteurized milk, even organic. Read The Raw Truth About Milk by William Campbell Douglass. It's full of great information.

May I suggest looking into Sally Fallon! Some dairy (raw and unprocessed kinds) are very good for you.
I so much enjoy your food haul . You are one smart lady looking ahead for holiday baking too .

Julie thanks for sharing this with us. I've never heard of them. You did get some good deals.
You’re welcome ☺️
Thanks so much for the info.

Ceylon is the country where the cinnamon comes from. It is regardedas some of the best you can get.

Oh yes the spices are amazing. And for non gmo and organic you absolutely can’t beat the price. Even in Walmart! I’ve compared 😁
I love that you buy in bulk. I live in the south and our prices are cheaper than what you paid. I think you can do better. Shop around.. Liked the video.
Thank you 😊 I’ve shopped around. We just do not have a lot of options where I live to buy affordable non gmo and organic food.
Roast the garlic and make your own chip dip with sour cream and onion powder..

It's sad they are not coming in Canada! But we have Costco ! Not the same but it's good! ❤❤ Have a nice week!
Uhhh I’m sure they have good reason. They are and amazing company!
Hi Julie this sounds interesting. I’ve never heard of them before. 🌻🐓🌻
Truthfully I don't see they're any cheaper. In fact....a lot of things are more expensive compared to where I live in the South. Did enjoy the video though! Have a blessed day!
Thank you for watching! In my area there is nowhere I can get organic non gmo raw cheese for a little over $5 a lb I would pay close to $10 a lb 🫤.

I get there 5 pound box of organic frozen blueberries for the same price as those 3 bags.
Hadn’t heard about this ! We can’t afford this prices and or in bulk ! Ceylon cinnamon is the best for you though! We have and use it !

Absolutely! And oh awesome. Haha we all have something.
You can put garlic in oil and store in fridge
Oh thank you 😊

They never charged me. If it’s not in stock you don’t get charged.
I am interested in knowing if the chips stay fresh tasting. Is there a minimum that you have to order?
I’ve had a bag wrapped up for a week and they are not stale yet! No minimum. No sign up for a certain amount of time etc. I love it.
