Why I buy from Azure Standard

I was introduced to Azure Standard about a year ago. I must admit, at first I was a little overwhelmed because I was shopping with a grocery store mentality. I was used to going up and down aisles, searching the sales ads for the best deals and clipping my coupons. I had to change my way to shopping.


We started our journey to healthier eating about two years ago. We have slowly made the switch. We now get farm fresh eggs from someone local. We buy lightly pasteurized milk from a farm in Kentucky that does not give their cow hormones or antibiotics and the cows are grass fed. We hardly ever go to the grocery store, instead we meet a big semi trailer in a parking lot to pick up our food. I joke that our children will not know what normal shopping is. We also have a garden and fruit trees and buy from local produce stands on occasion.

I feel comfortable buying from Azure Standard because they are a family run business who uses a family run trucking company called Covenant Ranch Trucking. The products they sell are all products they would have no problem feeding to their own families.

Here is there Azure in a nutshell ...
We specialize in natural, organic, earth-friendly foods and products. We deliver directly to customers, buying clubs and retailers by semi truck and UPS. If you're new to Azure, start by reading our guide to getting started.

Here are some items that I buy on a fairly regular basis -
Cream Cheese
Sprouted Wheat Bagels
Yogurt
Produce - changes depending on seasonal availability
Buttermilk
Orange Juice
Bulk Items - frozen fruits, frozen vegetables, grains, beans. 

They also have natural home and body products. Here are a couple that I purchase - 
J.R. Liggetts Shampoo bar
Earthpaste

There are other items I have bought in bulk, and only buy once or twice a year. Those are things such as pizza sauce, canned mushrooms, coconut milk, tomato paste, tomato sauce, etc.

Where I live, I only order once a month. It did take me a little time to get used to it, but now I would have it no other way. I average between $180-$250 per month.

I am not as organized as I would like to be when it comes to shopping monthly according to what I will be preparing, but  I am getting better at it. I enjoy the fact that I can pay pretty reasonable prices for quality food. I enjoy the fact that I can buy in bulk so I can stock up my pantry.

If you have any questions about buying from Azure Standard, let me know. I would also like to add that their customer service is amazing. They are courteous, quick to respond and extremely helpful. Coventant Ranch Trucking is also amazing. Each time they deliver they are prompt, helpful and courteous.

Zipzicles review and giveaway!!

A couple weeks ago I received a package of Zipzicles to try out and review. I must say, I was super excited. You can read about how Zipzicles was started here. This summer my children and I attended VBS at our church. Since our church is a 30 minute drive and VBS ran from 8:30-12:30, I knew that I would need to pack their lunches. I attempted to make my own Zipzicle type packaging but it did not turn out well at all. I didn't take pictures because no-one needs to witness how bad they were. So, a couple months ago I found Zipzicles and wanted to give them a try. It is such a simple idea and I cannot believe no-one thought of them sooner. One of the things I like most (besides being super convenient) is that the packages are BPA free and recyclable! I also like that I know exactly what my kids are eating because I make it myself. Okay, so here is what I did. I made smoothies and put them in the Zipzicle packages. I am a big fan of tropical smoothies. Here I have coconut milk...

Vintage Christmas Wonderland - Review

When I was contacted a few weeks ago and asked if I would review a newly released Christmas album, I couldn't type fast enough to respond and say YES! Christmas is, by far, my favorite time of year.  When I received the Cds, they were wrapped in beautiful burlap and ribbon and decorated with a sparkly snowflake. Along with the Cds, there was a personal handwritten note. It was so sweet and just made the entire experience of this review scream vintage. Vintage Christmas Wonderland by David Ian has a smooth jazzy sound that takes you back to the days when life was less complicated. When I was contacted to review the album, it was described to me as " It's reminiscent of the Charlie Brown Christmas album and meant to bring warmth to the season!".  I can tell you, that is a perfect description. While listening to Vintage Christmas Wonderland, I felt like putting up my Christmas tree just so I could plug in the lights and watch them glow. I felt like starting a ...
