Personally, the quality of all the food at Azure is so incredible that I would pay more for it vs. going to the nasty grocery stores. I despise Wal Mart and try my very best not to spend a dollar there. We taste and see the difference of everything we buy from Azure and almost all of our food comes from them. We have been shopping from Azure for years and there is no going back!
I agree with the quality! Its truly worth it if you can make room in your budget.
Some of us can only afford to buy from the nasty grocery stores.
I get really tickled when someone uses the word nasty to describe something 😂😂 I'm dying of laughter
My family would hardly be able to eat if it wasn’t for Walmart.
@@ladybugmom10 I am very sorry that is the case. So many people are struggling to put food on the table now.
I live 1 block from the main warehouse so I can place my order and pick it up the next day at the warehouse. I have been buying from Azure for about 30 years. Love them.
Do they now have a store there as well? What about the fire they had recently? I bet it was terrifying.
Hi Adaline. Great video. I have used azure for years and couldn’t be happier with them. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this. Im sure you’ve realized they do run sales, but what many people don’t realize is you can capture that sales price for two months. What you need to do is while that item is currently on sale you start your next months cart and add it to that cart AND CHECK OUT. That’s very important that you check out the next months cart. Azure does not hit your form of payment until your order actually closes so it’s not affecting your budget but in order to secure a sale price say from November you start December and you check out and that secures November sale price in December as well as in November if you’ve purchased that item in November. so that helps me if I really want to bulk up my pantry on a certain item and I see it’s on sale one month. I can buy a certain quantity of it the original sale month but I can also grab some of it the next month. You can cancel at anytime but once your item is officially off sale don’t change the item in that next months cart or you loose the sale pricing. I hope that all makes sense.
Also, the cheese loaf you bought. You can get an even better price if you buy the two loaf portion assuming you didn’t buy two. It stores very well how they vac seal it and for a couple of months as it is packaged. Another way to stretch those dollars.
Thank you for all your tips!! Super helpful!
If you have an instant pot look up a homemade vanilla extract recipe using the instant pot… you don’t have to wait to use it! I do 45 mins in there and the vanilla extract is ready to use. Absolute game changer.
I had no idea you could make vanilla, thank you!😊
I compare prices between Azure, Sam's, Aldi, and Walmart. I wanted to order from them for several years before they had a drop near me. I was so happy when I could start buying from them. 😁
Welcome to Azure. A two decade plus shopper here. I buy about 80% of all our needs from Azure and the other 20% from Amazon or Walmart. Ordering online keeps me out of stores which save a ton.
Your post was so informative. Never think it was too long or anything at all wrong. I’ve been cooking now since 1966. From the beginning for the family. I now have to eat a Low FODMAP diet. I’ve had to relearn everything I knew about cooking. I’m totally fascinated when you share your research and recipes and cost saving ways to eat healthy and well. Hold your head up with pride. You totally rock. I’m wishing I was as good as you. 🌹❤️🇦🇺
Loved this honest feedback. Check into Einkorn flour for the gluten sensitivity. A lot of gluten sensitive people can have einkorn baked goods. Celiac can't. I am looking at sprouted einkorn and grinding my own flour but gotta be able to buy a mill. Luv ya and Happy Thanksgiving.
I may try them one ☝️ day but for now I am limited on space so I appreciate you showing your order. Great haul!❤ I never buy buttermilk since I only use it for baking or cooking. To make buttermilk: For every 1 cup of milk, stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. Then use it to bake or cook.
I have been shopping with Azure Standard for over a decade, when they were still only delivering to the west coast. They have really branched out through the decade.
For your problem with Chicken, I would suggest looking into Kosher Chicken. All kosher meat needs to be salted first so the rinse is usually not chlorinated, but it's something to look into.
Wonderful vlog Adaline!!! I didn’t even think or realize the chlorine wash on so many things!! Thank you for mentioning that!!! So many good food people I follow do it because of they have issues from the foods we have access to - There seems to be an issue with sharing specifics of those issues or illnesses most All food related. I feel the bio makeup of our bodies are not the issue ( unless) it’s from food consumed by parents preconception and during gestation. So if more people would fully disclose - like the chlorine wash - it would Help so many people struggling to figure out their issues & also break the horrible food chain born health problems we have. THANK YOU!! Also one other Azure thing - The community aspect is wonderful - at truck unloading we all gather and work hand in hand to unload the truck and then help each other specifically the elderly load their vehicles🥰
Thanks for the ideas I haven’t thought about purchasing some of these things you have there! So Glad your channel popped onto my feed!
Great video! I’m so glad you made this! I’ve been wanting to order from azure for a while and it was nice to get the run down. Glad you found some great products you love! 😊
Great haul. You got some great stuff. Happy thanksgiving Adaline. Be blessed.
An AMAZING video so extremely helpful! Thank you so much 😊
I love Azure so much! Great video babe ❤
Love, love, loved this video. I learned so much about clean foods. I appreciate you sharing health issues with us. Sometimes sharing helps others realize what may be causing their own issues. I have what I call a "chemo tummy". I get reactions to certain foods and never really know why. Cleaner foods can only help. I think I'll try Azure. Thank you!!!
I use all of nancy's probiotic powder as well-sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt-last time i ordered crem cheese it was out so I will have to try again next month..W sauce is great too..coconut aminoes can replace soy sauce and Azure has those too.
I would like to also add that there is no sales tax on on Azure items. There is a .6 cent per dollar tax here in Idaho so cost wise lots of items are cheaper on Azure if sales tax of your state is factored in.
Thanks for explaining about the chlorine wash - I had no idea! We’ve been with Azure for four months and love them!
Hi Adaline!! What an amazing video! Thank you for all of your hardwood! I was so interested in hearing about cane sugar vs regular sugar. Did I miss you talking about it? I love learning about the food we consume
I live your hair Adeline its looks so pretty!
I’m from central PA too!! It’s nice to know we can get Azure here!
Nice Azure haul !!
First, thank you. This was a really good break-down.
The takeaway, for me, is that Azure Standard is probably a good way to shop only if you are interested in paying for "cleaner" and/or Organic (capitalized because it IS a brand). If your goal is to save money feeding a family, and aren't worried about eating "normal" food, it doesn't look like they are a good option. I'm basing this on what Adaline says here and a pretty quick browse through the site, looking at standard staples that average middle-class people buy regularly. If I'm wrong, please do explain, because I am always looking for ways to save money and eat healthy. NOTE, however, that when I say healthy I mean eating more vegetables and cooking at home and basically getting good nutritional value. I personally do not buy in to the whole Organic push or the no-gmo click. I won't argue the merits of those things because it's waisted breath, but I truly would like to know if someone like me should actually be shopping on Azure Standard.
I pick up my order on Wednesday. I love their products.
I ordered from Azure today! Found the information myself!
Hey! Happy to see you, and this fun grocery video. If you haven't used Magnesium oil before, I recommend you proceed with caution, and try it on a Friday night before bed, in small amounts on the lower legs. If you are not Magnesium deficient, you might need to be close to a bathroom the next day.
Have you thought about milling your own organic wheat berries and making your bread? Unless you have celiac you might be able to tolerate freshly milled bread since it would have all parts to the wheat berry. Enjoyed your video!!!
Yes! We switched also. No more problems. Especially when milling/using Einkorn! Bread is sooooooo easy to make and way cheaper/cleaner than store bought!
Thank you for this video 🤗🙌!
Here in Pennsylvania we have used a PA based bulk company for years and years. However I have an Azure co-op here in the north east and many people have switched from our PA company because of quality control. Bugs, stale, inconsistent flavor profiles, and no accountability beyond FDA standards. (Azure requires the under 2% ingredients even in soaps be declared)
So even though we have a bulk company in our state Azure has been a game changer.
Where is the Azure co-op in Pennsylvania I live in a Pocono mountains north of East Strasburg
@@dexterking7662
I coordinate the "Rome drop". Technically our drop address is in Wysox PA but it is the Rome township building parking lot. Checking the map you would have quite a drive but it wouldn't be the furthest I've had people come!
@@LC-ci5ko thank you
I been ordering from Azure for a while. They are amazing.. I really have enjoyed everything that I personally get. 😊
I finally got to go to an Amish bulk store…..amazing!
Do the Amish store you go to sell organic products ?
You can make your own buttermilk real quick. Super easy. 1 cup of whole milk and 1 Tbsp of white vinegar. Let sit for 5 mins. That’s it.
Or lemon juice instead of vinegar.
Great video thank you it was very helpful
I like your style and care that you take for your body and family. I appreciate your videos. New subbie
Very informative;great job
I would suggest getting Rumford baking powder it’s aluminum free. I Get it in the three pack
Thanks for sharing. This is new for me.
New to your channel- hi! If you have a high speed blender, you can also make your own powdered sugar from your regular sugar. I do it for baking and it works great.
I admire you!
❤
Do you have a video about the home made Sauerkraut?
What is the difference between mint and peppermint?
Hi Adaline...just come across your post....going through your most off them....Elaine from Scotland
Not sure how close you are to it but Dries Orchards in Sunbury could be a nice local option for bulk apples 🙂
New to your channel I’m from Pennsylvania the Pocono Mountains thanks for the info
I've been debating for months now because I have a drop point that is probably only 5 minutes from me. But like you mentioned I live in the Lancaster area and have many Amish bulk food stores that I haven't felt it necessary yet. I can even get wheat berries at the amish stores. I grind my own for various flours because I also have a sensitivity to gluten from traditional All purpose flours. I don't find I mind it if it is freshly milled, not to mention you are getting ALL the nutrients from the berry, not just the gluten portion of the wheat. You might actually want to look into that. I have been so impressed the more i learn about grinding your own wheat. Sue Becker from Bread Beckers Podcast/RUclips is an incredible source and also a Christian.
Simple kneads sells 3 or 4 kinds of GF bread on their own website too!
I saw that! But the price is MUCH better through Azure 😊
Not sure what area you are in, but maybe you can check and see if Naturally a Deal is available to you…. I get a lot of fruit and veggies in bulk from them. I shop at Azure also, but I didn’t always have a good result with their veggies. A great product though is the number 2 carrots. They come in a large quantity, but I have diced and shredded them and frozen them.
I can’t do azure. I work full time and can’t drive 45 minutes at a random day/time to pick it up
Might be able to team up with a friend or with the drop host to grab your stuff and you pick up after work!
There is a great book, firery ferments by Shockey where you can learn to make your own fermented hot sauce, chutney, and kimchi! It's great stuff!
Thank you so much for this video and telling a bit about what you avoid and why. I'm three months into my food sensitive discovery and going gluten free has been life changing. I was wondering how you manage having gluten and non gluten items. Are you not sensitive enough it bothers you or how do you handle that? My whole family has had to drop foods because I can't eat them and cross contamination has been an issue.
I gal of buttermilk Or one gal of milk is one load for your freeze dryer Whole milk works better -powers up wonderful
My azure order is closing today. I added several things that you bought to my order.
Great video.
Hi, Michelle in Shropshire UK. We tend to pronounce Worcestershire Sauce like 'Wus-ter Sauce''.
I do wish I could something like Azure Standard in Uk.
mary's chicken is sold at my natural grocers & it's yum & it's all i buy.
Thank you for such an in-depth review of Azure. I have loaded up my cart numerous times but have yet to go through with the purchase; however you may have given me the incentive to go through with the purchase. Hopefully Azure reaches out to partner with you.
I ordered and picked up Azure this past week for the first time. I was very interested in Azure after learning about their strict standards (no apeel etc). I ordered grains and fruits but unfortunately it’s been very cold and the fruits were frozen. There were couple items that were out of stock. I have a few weeks to decide if I’ll order from them again just because I have to drive to pick up.
They have wonderful customer service, so don’t hesitate to tell them about any problems with your order 😊
Can we freeze sour cream and cream cheese without changing the texture?
Also their vanilla ya pretty good.
Would you maybe eventually tell a bit about why you left the Mennonite church?
I also watch some Mennonite channels and am quite interested in this.
❤
Do not go to a grocery store, just our garden, Azure and Sam's
A little late, but roasted almonds make a delicious butter also. I personally liked it more than the roasted peanut butter.
how did you find out specifically what was bothering you guys such as the chlorinated water? Food dyes have been kind of an obvious one for my kids for years but chlorinated water in chicken is so specific how did you determine that that was an issue? Is there some sort of test you guys ran?
I love Azure Standard. That is a lot of produce. Pretty much everything Azure sells is organic. Very nice haul. Do you have a dehydrator? If you cannot use all that celery right away- you can dehydrate both the carrots and celery. That popcorn is very awesome. My girls love it
Thank you for all of your suggestions! And yes, I do have a dehydrator!
I think frozen celery makes a better product than dehydrating.
@@cynthiafisher9907 Looks better if you blanche it first.
I think she would freeze it.
I thought I heard you say that you did. Ive never had good luck with freezing celery-it turns to mush.@@AdalineZook
I wish we had a pick up point closer to us!
Keep checking back! My mom just got a pick up point near her in FL, started just this last month!
Me too... I am over an hr away..😅
Do you know if Costco’s organic or other packs of chicken are bleached?
Does probiotic cream cheese and sour cream taste the same as regular? I'm always looking for gut healthier options but if it taste too different I worry my family might not eat it
You may know already but cultures for health has a gluten free sourdough starter...
You might be surprised at the amount of gluten that is present in products that are processed in factories that deal with gluten. I noticed a lot of difference when i switched to gluten free oats and other products that are gluten free certified or were not processed in places that deal with gluten. Montana gluten free has some great products, i suggest you take a look at their website.
Regarding the chlorine i suggest you stop using bleach and other products that contain it. I did and feel much better.
Thank you for sharing.
Does Costco have organic chicken ? If so, do you know how price compares?
Did you check to make sure that the rolled oats are gluten free. The normal aren't unless marked.
I buy a 50lb bag of red potatoes from a Mennonite store for $29. I noticed they only have that size bag in the fall. I will only get my potatoes there now. Azures potatoes are to expensive. I refuse to get potatoes from the store anymore. The last bag of red potatoes I got from Sam's Club. When I rinsed them off before cooking they looked soapy. I'm like what the heck is on these that it's making the water soapy? It freaks me out. I don't get that from the Mennonite store.
In the Uk we just say Wooster sauce 😊
I’m wondering if the corn starch would bother your daughter since the corn syrup does…? If so, I think you might try tapioca powder. You could google alternatives. Just fyi…❤
I know this may be a silly question but, is there a big difference between Walmart organic and azure organic? I have been trying to switch to organic products when going to Walmart but I’m wondering if the price difference is worth it?
It is hard to find corn starch in the USA that is not GMO bio-engineered. Most of it is imported. A combination of most field corn being GMO & the factory process of making corn starch is complicated.
Is Azure in Canada or just the United States?
The cane sugar said it was from India? Was I mistaken?
So here is and easy way to say woster sheer sauce( Worcestershire). Hope this helps, lol
Can you please go into more detail on your health issues. Thank you for sharing your haul. ❤
I do, a bit more in the second half of the video 😊
This was very helpful and you did a wonderful job explaining Azure Standard. I have heard about it, my question is, would it be worth it for 2 retirees. We do eat Organic and I can't have Gluten, Sugar and a couple other things . So understand the diet restrictions. Just wondering if it would be worth it for a family of just 2??
My sister and her husband buy from Azure Standard and they are retired. She does preserve some things.
I believe so, if you know how to store foods correctly 😊
I buy almost exclusively from azure and it’s just my husband and I. I find buying in bulk actually helps my grocery budget and keeps me out of the stores, which in turn helps my budget. I shop once a month (azure) with the exception of a few items that I buy local. I also keep a garden which helps too.
We are a family of 2, we order from Azure, just not monthly. And we live it!
You do not have to buy in bulk through Azure! You can buy single items, and smaller quantities.
Do you have a video on how to make almond milk??
Soak 1/2 cup of raw almonds in filtered water overnight in the fridge. Then wash them, add to a blender with 2 cups of filtered water, 2-3 dates (optional), little bit of vanilla extract. Blend for 2 mins, and use a cheese cloth to get rid of pulp.
You pronounce Worcestershire sauce wuus-ta-shear. 😊
How did you find that out about your daughter?
Is it just me then? The mountains stay cold and food does NOT last long. Potato’s sprout within a week. Apples brown and carrots go bad even in the fridge…..😮
Say "were'syoursister" sauce lol
❤❤❤❤
Oh bummer…. I was excited to hear about the sourdough but then I read the ingredients and I’m highly allergic to sunflower anything 😜😥
Azure standard has a gluten free starter that I got…. My husband is gluten free but is highly allergic to psyllium husk that they use in so many gluten free breads
I've been monitoring their page and checking on honest feedback from people I watch..... I see a drop by may are 30 mins...away I'm vegan and gluten free. Making further complicated I'm a low fodmap . Millet flower I tolerate well, almond flour and for sugar I either use coconut sugar or maple syrup.
I find videos like this completely unrelatable because I have neither the money nor the storage space for bulk shopping, but I just love to watch them. That was an amazing haul and great video.
You are able to buy small packages and individual cans and bottles of things just like a regular store. You don't have to buy huge quantities. Azure just gives people the ability to buy large quantities if they want to. It's a lot harder to buy these quantities from a store without clearing the shelf, or the store may not have organic.
@@foorlife632 True - but start out small or choose 1 bulk item at a time. I have a small house and I just found a small area in a bedroom that’s the coolest spot or a closet & bought a couple of food grade buckets - place anything from 25 lb of flour in one to placing smaller bags of different rices left in their bags in one etc. it took about 18 months to build my bulk area - You can do it😉☺
I have not yet ordered from Azure, due to the fact you pay shipping, have to drive to a site, help unload the truck, and drive all the way home. With the time and gas involved, Azure is way out of my budget.
It all depends if your health depends on the food you eat. The connections you make with people who are in the same mindset as you is a major plus. It’s a community when you unload the truck. You don’t have to unload the truck. Many people just come grab their stuff and leave, but it’s fun to help others :)
I’ve been debating about ordering from Azure. My turn off is the drop off zone, is charging people, 8.5% I don’t know if it’s normal but it doesn’t seem worth it.
Unless there is a good reason for it.
I'm pretty sure that's how the driver gets paid. You can accumulate points to use toward future purchases. Sometimes it offsets the delivery charge.
$8.50 on every $100 you spend on quality food driven across the country. Seems worth it to me.
But what did you pay for it?
Worcestershire spelt phonetically is wou-ster- sher, hope that helps 😊
Worcestershire is easy to pronounce. You actually don’t pronounce it how you would think based on how it’s spelled. If you google “how to pronounce Worcestershire” you can find audios of how to pronounce it 😊
It's pronounced like "Wooster", is that right?
@@FrogeniusW.G.yes, the "oo" is pronounced like "book."
English friends tell me the correct pronunciation of Worcestershire sauce is simply "Wooster sauce" Here I've been struggling all these years lol
I call it "Wash yer sister sauce"
I don't know if you know it or not but these Amish stores are not helpful not organic at all.
you drag out the last word of every sentence...
this is our Azure haaaauuul.
I wanted to show you what i goooot.
this is 25lbs of oaaaaats.
just curious, do you always talk like that?
This is such a strange, inappropriate comment, considering the name on your account.
If that is the only thing you have taken away from this very informative video, delivered by a lovely young women, maybe it is just best you move on. Matthew 12:37 “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
I have found that having buttermilk powder, sour cream powder, tomato powder, and heavy cream powder has been worth it over the years! I primarily use tomato powder for tomato paste and I don't drink coffee with cream or anything so buying even a small pint of cream isn't worth it because usually half goes to waste. I'm not really saving any money by doing that, but I have way less waste with product and packaging. To me, thats worth it. Let us know how you like the cream cheese. I love Nancy's sour cream, (it even freezes okay) but wasn't a fan of the yogurt.
I have had very mixed results with fresh produce from Azure. I live in the Midwest and there isn't a distributor close so I think that is partly why. I do enjoy the root veggies and frozen produce options. I have never bought meat from them ... although I am looking for a good chicken source. I found a cow rancher near me but chicken is harder to find. I have used a few subscription services too but haven't found them to be any different Than trader joes or whole foods.
I have found Azure to be great for the organic bulk dry goods and many frozen veggies and organic cheeses. Produce is hit and miss - sometimes it's cheaper and sometimes whole foods is cheaper. I find produce and meat to be cheaper at Whole Foods much of the time. Those are the only things I buy from whole foods, but they are the most affordable. It is interesting to see the produce differences between youtuber azure hauls and my own.
I do also like that they have firsts and seconds as options with their produce.
