Azure Standard Order

Let me just tell you that Julie's brand of ice cream is AMAZING! It's quite pricey, organic and I can read every word on the label. I will not order this every time, well maybe I will. Yummy! The hemp milk....EWWWWWW. Almond milk - ummmm not so good, but maybe we can figure out something to do with it. We're learning that my son doesn't do well eating a lot of dairy so we're trying to figure out what amounts he can tolerate.

Anyway, here's what I got:
  • 10 pounds organic carrots (remember when I said I'd never buy organic - never say never). Last time we ate 5 pounds within 10 days!
  • 10 pounds of frozen blueberries. Eaten plain and used in our healthy ice cream. Shared with a friend
  • 3 pounds organic onions $3.40
  • 1 coconut...this should be an interesting experiment!
  • Dehydrated pears...these are delicious! You can only eat one though because they are so sweet. What a wonderful treat! I don't care for the pineapple, way too sweet!
  • Almond meal flour to try out some baked goodies.
  • The Rumiano sweet cream butter is so good you can eat it plain. Oh yeah, sometimes I do.
  • some mustard, cashews, and spices
  • Total with shipping $109.00
    • I budget $50 per month for my Azure Standard order. I had to "find" $59 from my cash envies: $20 came from entertainment/kid stuff for the ice cream and the hemp/almond milk. $20 came from my change. $10 I pulled from my "weekly grocery shopping envelopes" and $9 I pulled from my misc. envelope.
I NEVER thought they'd deliver to my neck of the woods so call them today to find out if they deliver in your area!

This is not a paid advertisement for Azure Standard, I just like what I buy from them!

Grocery Shopping

My second Azure Standard order (total spent $63.28):

10 pounds of frozen blueberries $13
20 pounds of organic apples $20
Yummy chocolate bar $2.40
1 quarter organic raw apple cider vinegar $2.65 (now if only I can remember why I bought this!)
Paprika $3.90 (that was a silly purchase! we don't go through that much paprika!)
2 1/2 pounds raw almonds $12
Sweet Cream Butter $2.95

By far the best purchase was the butter. It is sooooo sooooo soooo much better than the store brand that I've been buying. I don't usually like butter on veggies, but this stuff I can eat plain! They didn't have the organic shredded coconut or the peanuts. I'm bummed about the coconut! Hopefully next time they'll have some. I'll have to reserve more money to spend at Azure - I really like everything that I've bought so far!



Here's what I bought at Lueders/Safeway:


Total spent: $24.00

I have a little bit of cash left, but I don't really know how much I've spent for the month. Probably $350??? Next month I'll keep track of things a little bit better.
