I have been trying to limit my Azure orders too but the Azure cash has a 4 month expiration so be aware of that, especially since large orders build up a lot of it.
Thanks for reminding me of that I totally forgot then it seems as if I needed to do 3 orders a year maybe what I will do it just a small order in-between the 2 large ones only spending the value of the azure cash up to 100 bucks. Would love to know what your plans were or if you have a strategy that works!
@@Rationed07 I am try to limit my orders because I’m on the East Coast and the winter weather in the middle of the country is terrible for truckers to drive through. I usually only order every couple of months and I was trying to skip any winter orders completely. I don’t want to lose my Azure cash though, so I am making a small order of things we only get from Azure and that’s it. Next year I’ll plan better, I hope.
You can hold your azure cash as long as you want as long as you are placing an Azure Order with in every 4 months.if your not ordering at least every 4 months in a row ..you will forfeit and start ove rwith your next order
Great haul! I’ve never cooked mung or adzuki beans, would love to see how you use them. I’m also interested in sprouting broccoli seeds. Thanks so much for sharing. ❣️
Thanks for stopping by! I will have to make some videos in the future using these items. I am adding it to my video list 🙂. Oh and broccoli sprouts are super delicious!
Thank you! I am family of 1 with a son in college who is home during the usual school breaks. I think I am going to place an order. Definitely ordering sprouted wheat berries.
Think my biggest order has been around $500. And that was this last one with the recent extra discount. 😊 I am an household of one, but am prepared for way more than me. Slowing down on the buying and working on using up some of what I have. In the last couple days I have watched two Azure hauls and thought I should've bought more while it was on sale. I often see on Azure haul videos things I would like to try. Like that date syrup.
About soybeans. 100 lbs of dry soybeans will make about 120 lbs of tofu, and leave you with a fair amount of okara. Okara can be added to baked goods. Soybeans are good just cooked as beans. They have a high fat content for a bean so storage is a bit pickier than for other beans. Dryness matters a lot. I was not happy with making soy milk using the stove top method, too much trouble for inconsistent results, and bought a Soybella. Since I use soy milk regularly, I made back the expense of it before I was a third of the way through a 25lb of soybeans. If you decide to make tofu often you might find it, or another soy milk maker, useful. Also consider eating the new oats while they are fresh. I’d suggest storing the packets in an airtight container for an emergency. Don’t deprive yourself of the great taste and health benefits of the good oats, to save money. Everything I wrote is meant with love, if it sounds otherwise I am a clutch. hope you did not get too tired putting it all away. That is a lot of work.
Oh my goodness such great tips thank you so much for your comment. I haven't heard of okara but will be researching it for sure! I have a vitamix blender that does very well with making bean and nut milks I just strain it through a nut bag although we don't drink much soy milk. I am so glad to know how far 25lbs of beans goes thats super helpful. Please definitely keep sharing great information like this! Much appreciated 🙂
I also love the spices and oils and that things are organic and nongmo. I dont often get the produce because of the distance but I might consider it for next time! Thanks for stopping by.
You aren’t crazy! My biggest order was $1084 when they put the cases of organic prairie burger and tenderloin steaks on sale last year at $48/case. We bought a new freezer and filled it to the brim😮
Wow nice I totally missed that sale I hope I can catch the next one! The freezer probably didn't count towards the haul lol 😆 but well worth it nonetheless!
My highest Azure order has been about $700.. some of things I always buy is Nancy’s probiotic sour cream, Azure Raw Berry/wildflower Honey, Sierra Nevada organic Raw grass fed 5lb block medium sharp cheddar cheese, Sierra Nevada Raw jalapeño jack cheese, calico cheese.. azure organic multicolored popcorn, Mothers choice butter… Lol there’s other things I regularly buy as well but those are some of our favorites… The Honey is absolutely amazing & really reasonably priced..
Where did you find the coupon code? I order frequently and have been for over 5 years but I’ve never heard they offered coupon codes. Great to hear you discussing buckwheat flour. My 96 year old grandmother often mentioned that they used buckwheat flour during the Great Depression as that is what was cheapest and readily available.
They had a video update come out that I saw in my email with the founder announcing the code. It was for December called abundantpantry 2023. I am hoping they do it again at some point every little bit counts when it comes to saving. Its so nice to hear your grandmother talking about buckwheat. This is my first year giving it a go and so far so good. I also plan on growing some as a cover crop! Thanks for stopping by!
Your NOT crazy ..with food prices only going up we like to keep a 2 to 3 year panyry plus help our kids. My daughter has 4 kids who love yo eat well and her husband but everything costs so much now its hard for the so my next 2 otders are stocking for her ..but my last Dec withthe discout was 3,600.00 . My January order is 5k+ as is my February the for march I will be using my azure cash for an order and will probably a fill in gaps..I think our grandmothers and great grandmothers had the right idea they most always kept pantries and root Cellars..most houses today dont have all that foid storade ..but there are ways if ya think out side the box just dont forget about it.. I pretty much only buy from Azure .I get eggs for other drop people who have chickens and the sell salves etc.its great meat so many nice people who think basically alike ..I am hoping Feb will be my last huge order but may have to slip a April in if I can.. loved your hall you git basically allt he good staples .very nice haul!! Thanks for sharing.
Wow I could only imagine another 1000 on what I spent your car must have been super heavy lol. I too am always saying...this is my last big order and then I place another one just incase 😌. So this is actually the first time I'm regulating myself and strategically placing orders although its very tempting especially in these times. Thanks for coming to my channel!!
@Rationed07 my car was full.but could have fit more in it if it was packed right but everyone was putting boxes in my car so I was greatful for the help andI paid 1 of the young men probably 12 to load my car for me .cause I had a heck of of a time when I got home..but could have never done both Im 65 with several back surgeries and not much of a back lefr to speak of ..I have 2 more large orders I am taking most of this to my daughter..they just dont understand stocking up for whatever may come .but I have always kept a year long panyry anyway..lol grown kids call me a hoarder..I said yep but at least I will eat as well as others ..but now that food has gotten SO expensive she is starting to come around to maybe keeping more on hand.So I am buying things they use .she has 6 in her family. I am just happy I am able to do this for her.. The prices are only going to continue going up ..so I will keep on. I also know from now buying from Azure for 4 years now..I buy gallon jars of spices .I use alot of spices. If they are kept sealed in dark .tbey dont go bad .I have bern using dry mustard I have had for 6 years still tastes great..I am very careful to keep my food very dark room .as cool as possible.and of course rotate..I stock bulk food in mylar and in food grade buckets .I do not use oxy absorbers.waste of money I think. Happy stocking!!
@@sharrilswindle752 you're an awesome mom and I'm glad slowly but surely your daughter is starting to see the value in keeping a deep long term pantry. I also am trying to combat prices so I understand completely and I know its only going to get worse. Sorry to hear about your back but I'm glad you got help! Can't wait to share my next round of Azure mid year (gives me time to save a chunk of change) and see what else you may have added your pantry at that point 🙂 .
Yes I've seen people make tofu from different legumes I haven't tried to yet but I would like to at some point! If you try to make it before me let me know how it turns out I'd be curious to know!
Im new and considering making my first purchase from azure. So you can get your azure order shipped to your home? If so do you still have to wait the same amount of time as picking it up from a drop location?
I have only ever gone to a drop location for pickup as home delivery was more expensive but it is an option and I think that changes the speed at which you receive your order but I'm not 100% sure. Either way I really do enjoy using azure for bulk ordering but still do your research so that you can find the best deals possible.
