Azure Standard Bulk Food Haul ~ Plus Things I Buy From Aldi, Sam's, and Walmart

[@moniquefuselier7711]

The basement storage looks so great! Yes, I would appreciate seeing the "boring" Walmart/Sams/Aldis hauls as they provide ideas for me.

[@RandyYount]

i would also like to see the Walmart, Sams, and Aldis hauls You are right they provide ideas for me.

[@mkchris9154]

Agreed. Would love to see walmart, Sam's, aldis, hauls. Gives me ideas for each. Thank you.

[@Terese-wp4ds]

Me too!

[@martiestes8932]

Don't call anything in your kitchen ugly, even the containers. It's actually a beautiful thing knowing your kids are eating healthy, nutritious food that you carefully select and provide. I love your kitchen, it may be small but it's full of wonderfullness. (just a made up word describing your family!) Thanks for sharing your food haul, would love to see more.

[@elizaC3024]

You are a strength 💪 for all of us as to how to evaluate our food stores and the nutritional value of it.

[@auntiepam5649]

I would have loved those strong young men yesterday when my daughter and I stacked our firewood for the winter. You are a blessed momma and you are a blessing to you family Jessica.

[@MsPackman4]

FYI for people who don’t know, you can freeze the olive oil jug. So if you buy a bunch, and worry you can’t use it all, freeze it. 👍🏻

[@rhondaowens837]

Yes! I have some frozen. Its supposed to really go up in price.

[@TXDHC]

Or if it does goes rancid you can use as lamp oil.

[@SuziesCornerInLove]

I never thought to freeze olive oil! I know it solidifies in fridge...

[@cecilyerker]

You can also freeze herbs in olive oil

[@Sandi-zh2wx]

I thought olive oil was supposed to be stored in dark containers. I'll have to check that out

[@bethhelminiak5063]

Wow! I'm single with no human children, just a few fur-babies, so I have no experience to draw on watching this. That said, you seem like a mindful and loving mother who is putting forth a lot of effort to give your kiddos a happy and healthy upbringing, and I absolutely appreciate that. How amazing that you are not just willing, but happy to do so, and thank you for sharing your insights - even us old spinsters (44, no husband, no kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and thriving!) can learn from your experience and insights.

[@SuziesCornerInLove]

I buy bulk, using vacuum storage. Being single human, no pet family, bulk goes a long way. But, I like buying best price. The bonus is often an empty trash can at the curb bc there's not much single packaging going on, and I compost, just for composts sake. lol

[@jfarm8854]

Thank you Jessica. Your reasoning with purchases is great advice for large families but please know that I benefit from your videos in our retiree stage of life. God bless y’all!

[@patriciagreen2627]

Me too. I am a Senior as well.

[@patriotmama]

I went chemical free cleaning products a few years ago. Use hydrogen peroxide for surface cleaning in bathrooms and kitchen. Best glass cleaner I have found is water. I bought Norwex clothes for windows a few years ago and LOVED them. I got E-clothes off Amazon for a lot less and they work just as well. They have them for all sorts of surfaces. Using only water is great. NO streaks and the windows stay cleaner longer. I use the window E-clothes in our vehicles and there are absolutely no streaks. Years ago when I used windex, after about three days in our car, I noticed a film on the inside of the car windows. When the sun beats down on the dash and other surfaces it seemed like the windex windows started gassing off. Since using my E-clothes for windows, none of that happens. Love using water on the windows and mirrors.

[@deborahmauro8754]

I was taught to use about one gallon of warm water and one tablespoon corn starch mixed well for my windows. It does an amazing job. Use one washcloths to clean the window with the wet mix ( ring out your clothe). Then use a separate cotton dry clothe. Your windows sparkle with no streaks.

[@dianedecker8219]

Jessica, aloha from Kauai. My refrigerator and freezer went out Friday! Because of watching your canning & meal prep I was able to move into action quickly and avoid losing all that food. I needed to give away a bit but most of it was repurposed. Salad, BBQ, cobbler, smoothies and one huge pot of soup to share after service on Sunday. The bright side is that our meals are made for a few days and we were able to borrow a small fridge. I didn’t realize how much I was learning. Thank you! Diane

[@zoisiranidou5398]

Olive oil with double in price and even more here in Greece,there aren’t many olives this year,Italy and Spain also have the same problem

[@dinahquillen9380]

Oh no, I'll just have to cut back or out of something else to afford my evoo. I love Greek, Spanish or Italian oil. It's worth the price.

[@TeamD2012]

Thanks for the heads up ❤️

[@krisirolfe4332]

Here in Germany it was hard to find on shelf= now outrageous price !!!

[@madewithloveandbutter5598]

Seems like shortages overall are driving up everything. Budget out the window!

[@jaynedoe5830]

Thank you @zoisiranidou5398 I will go and buy another tub of olive oil

[@debbiemusgrove676]

I do not find your bulk calls boring whatsoever. They are very informative and also interesting to see what’s out there that I’m not aware of.

[@patriciah6196]

I felt personally **attacked** about the “eating a handful of chocolate chips from the big bag each time you walk pass it” hahaha 🤣 great video, as usual !

[@regularmompantrylife2587]

That is really great that your meat processor does the canning! I'd love to see your hauls from other sources.

[@rebeccaelda]

i didnt realize regular olive oil had a milder taste! im so glad you shared this! thanks for all the info :)

[@AmyLouiseDens]

Wow- an encyclopedia of useful info on this channel! I am not new here, I am an older woman, and yet there is so much to be gained by the quality of content presented on your channel ! God bless you and your family. (I'm living in SW Ohio)

[@JennaGoforth]

Definitely would love a Walmart/Sam’s & Aldi Haul because that’s what I have near me to shop. I’d love more ideas ❤

[@magapickle01]

azure brings the products you order to some where near you

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Corn, wheat, sunflower products all were on the list for shortages or rising prices. Your food storage area looks awesome.

[@threerivershomestead]

Good to know. Thank you!

[@claudialeger3208]

So informative regarding choices of how to budget and where to seek the best prices. That is not for the faint of heart but you make it look simple. The root cellar is amazing and so glad you have it now. Again, I am ready to face the week after seeing your smiling face. Have a great week, Jessica.

[@lucindasutt7365]

So informative Jessica. I have enjoyed seeing your pretty different shelf units now in your Kitchen. I could see how happy you were arranging and rearranging them. Your smile today had a little "extra" brightness.😊 Yes to seeing your small Sam's Aldi and Walmart trips. I was considering your $1,000 monthly food Budget for 2 men and all the rest of you. You have accomplished a major savings in all the growing preserving and much more health food list than anyone else I personally have seen. Thank you for all the teaching and sharing you do for all of your viewers. I don't miss your videos!

[@lindamcauley4728]

You're the real deal. I absolutely love how you keep hugging your babies while doing the ground work of running your home ❤❤❤❤

[@stephaniemeads]

I was so excited when I realized I get to see you this am! Love starting my week with you! So encouraging and uplifting! Thank you for all you do! Have a great week my friend! ❤😊

[@deblanfair8510]

Agreed!❤

[@sandywilliams972]

Enjoy your videos so much! Thank you. Years ago, maybe 10, I quit buying window cleaning products. I now use a special cloth wet with tap water, squeezed well, & away I go. Best streak free way to clean. I use on mirrors, sink and tub taps. This is not a plug for any company. The cloth I have is from Norwex. I've never replaced it in the past 10 years.

[@naptimeseamstress]

Me, too! I live my norwex rags. There's also e-cloth, but I prefer Norwex.

[@miss_mish]

Thank you. I always find it interesting to hear different pronunciations of basic words. The diversity is a wonderful thing to me. Have a blessed week.❤

[@yellownightjar]

I luv watching all your videos from canning ,storage & living. U r so knowledgeable & down to earth that’s appealing to all generations😊

[@hollyu48]

After all my years canning I have never found a homemade catsup I like. So that’s one food I must buy and like your kids I eat a lot of it.

[@slvrice]

Thanks for adding the things you don’t purchase. That was helpful as well.

[@Beatrice.Buiron]

You have such a sweet and authentic way of connecting with us! Thank you for this channel, sometimes I think one day you will probably stop doing videos, and I sure will miss you! It is so sweet seeing your family grow and evolve! You inspire me although our lifestyles are very different! Bless you!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@wingmom2019]

Jessica, no worries on what your kitchen "pantry shelves" look like! Looks like a working farmhouse kitchen should. Sterile, white cabinets remind me if a hospital anyway😊

[@berrypatch5583]

That is a great haul! Your cellar storage has came together wonderfully.

[@elizaC3024]

Please yes, show us your Walmart, Sam's club, and Aldi. It is not boring, it is informative about what you are able to find and what nutritional choices you make. Pantries don't have to be pretty, just practical. If it serves your needs, it is glorious 🙌. I have a stainless prep table that my husband took bunkbed frames and make riser shelves for storage under the table. My cabin only had 3 small cabinets. Those hold dishes, so I needed storage for bowls, small appliances, storage containers, bakeware, etc. So the added shelves and 4 underbed totes under the prep table works. To hide it I hemmed shower curtains and my husband attached a piece of pvc pipe under the lip of the table as a curtain rod and now I have ample storage using what we already had. I made the choice to give up half of my under sink storage for a dishwasher. No regrets there. I usually run it twice a week, but during harvest season, it runs nearly every day, and it is my saving grace! For those of us who scratch cook, and preserve, we each have to find ways to make our lives easier to do what we love to do for our families. Jessica you are amazing and I applaud all that 👏 you 👏 do.

[@ashleymcmullen0514]

It can't be boring. My 3yr old loves your videos!

[@Dindasayswhynot]

@Three Rivers Homestead. Yes please to grocery hauls, no matter where you go. I think if you knew me you would understand how very helpful they are for me I'm like your boy who can't tolerate the chemicals in packaging and in products. Fragrance free is essential and I am always grateful to learn about new things I can try. I am so sensitive that I can taste "store" on meat. If you ever do get to your Costco, a video of the haul would be great. Anything out of Wally World and many more out of Azure. I'm going to be shopping with them when I get current storage used. I am like you, lots of garden, local farmers, a trusted farm stand farmer selling what he grows and what he brings in. So grateful for all that you share.

[@susanmoyer8656]

Oh my goodness, your cellar is a thing of beauty! Congratulations. I'm with the crowd on including your other hauls. They're inspiring and I love the insight on your thought process.

[@suenepa]

I like the containers that you store the dry goods in. I need to get some of those!

[@patriciagreen2627]

I would like to see examples of all of your grocery and household purchases. I am learning a lot from you.

[@nannysdiner07]

Find a Norwex dealer ,buy a Norwex window/glass cloth.......you'll NEVER need glass cleaner again!! Love your videos!

[@alisonwestermann1875]

I seriously never tire of grocery hauls and am always curious about your large family hauls! I talk about you to friends all the time! Thank you for sharing!

[@ajacob509]

Thx for sharing what you get and why, very informative. Enjoyed watching the video.

[@511eden]

Vinegar and water is the only glass cleaner I use. It has worked for us the last well over 10 years I have been using it. We even moved to a fixer upper where a neighbor came by and commented on how clean the windows were!

[@jesusislord7488]

I do like when you share the different products you’ve tried. Because you have a large family, you can try out new items quickly, whereas it would take me years to cycle through some of these things. Hearing about what you buy at ALDIs, etc., would be great for that reason.

[@isabellatheresemateo3961]

My family has a jelly dessert recipe, we call it white salad, and we add water chestnuts for an added crunch. Though the best part of this recipe is we can get fresh coconut meat and cream around the corner from our house, but the kids would argue and the best part of the salad is the coconut jelly and lychee pieces 😅

[@Conspiracymama88]

I always love watching Azure videos, I always find something new to order.

[@ginnamagda5810]

Great arrangement in the basement. Looks wonderful. Now you have more space to deal with. Yay!! Interesting fact you have taught me about pasta (wheat) I didn’t know. I will be changing that purchase in my future

[@theresaegbuniwe5808]

Your kitchen is beautiful and beautifully used! So great seeing the basement storage coming together. Lovely video as usual!! See you next week.

[@sheliamaynus9869]

Wow! The root cellar is looking really great! It's so organized and very pleasant to look at. Great job!

[@patwilson5017]

I enjoy seeing your Azure food order...gives me some good ideas. thanks.

[@KimCarter-pd5lk]

If you have extra of something don't forget bartering. You can try exchanging with a trusted neighbour for something else. DON'T FORGET LIGHTERS & MATCHES. Be careful purchasing large quanties of extra virgin olive oil. I had several of the small bottles 16 oz. Had to toss out after 6 months, as it was turning rancid.

[@angelabranam8329]

Would love to see more grocery hauls from other stores

[@celestejohnson9227]

The organized storage in your cellar turned out so nice. The stackable bins look very easy to work out of. I think I need to rework my entire storage area to make a more effective use if space. It currently serves as my sewing room as well so a redo is in order. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@thebestevernurseshow9427]

Watch out with the hydrogen peroxide! I used to clean with it but I got it on my eyebrow and it’s bleached. It won’t grow out and the color won’t come back so I have an eyebrow that is 1/3 full forever now.

[@threerivershomestead]

Oh, no!!!

[@colleenbrewer4453]

hauls hauls hauls even boring hauls are great!

[@daniellebeck8322]

Yes, I would love to see an Aldi haul. That's where I like to shop once a month or so. I usually only get to Aldi when I have OB appointments with the midwife, as it's quite a drive (2 hours). I feed my family of 9 children & counting from there for about $450 a trip. When I'm nearing delivery I like to stock up for the next few months for about $1000.

[@nicklenine1797]

I’ve been purchasing from Azure for over 20 years. Great video. It’s always fun to see what others like, use, and stock up on. 😊

[@battlearmanda]

I love laying on the couch with my dog all cuddled up watching your videos every Sunday. We look forward to it!

[@glendaharding4884]

Good afternoon my dear friend, loved the video! Absolutely would like to see your grocery hauls! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, God bless

[@durenechavarria60]

I really enjoyed this video. I would love to see what you get at Aldi's and Sam's Club and Walmart.

[@carolmalko615]

I generally don't enjoy watching food hauls from other people but I learn something new from each of yours that I've seen so far. I'm still catching up on your older posts since I'm a new subscriber. Jessica, your organization skills are amazing. The way you were moving jars around at the end and refilling to make everything fit reminded me of myself. I'm always consolidating to make more room for something else, lol. Can't wait to see your mac and cheese recipe that you told another commenter you would do soon!

[@jennelle.v_diamondpainting]

Thank you for sharing! Would love to see a Walmart, Sam’s Club, Aldi etc. haul!! 🌻🌻

[@lilbit4165]

I was surprised that you bought pasta!? Since David makes such good donuts and you bread. I assumed you both would just make your pastas..Esp. since you have Duck eggs..I even use my sourdough starter to make it...different shapes take a lil time but spagietti and egg noodles as well as sheets, are quite easy..i sure David woukd excel at it..i used a pizza cutter for years before investing in a pasta machine...lovedthe breakdown. So important to price comparison in todays economy. God bless you and yours...

[@Shasta1]

Regarding disinfecting the counters, bathroom etc check out colloidal silver. You can make your own for very little money if you buy a cs generator. You can also use it for keeping foods fresh longer.

[@kellyh1316]

Love to see your hauls and hear suggestions on Sam’s, Walmart, Aldi, etc…nice to have someone sharing who has considered where to get items

[@trishapomeroy9251]

FYI the delivery fee from Azure isn't standard across the board. In WA there is no fee because we are so close to the warehouse.

[@threerivershomestead]

What a blessing!

[@barbaramatheney1410]

Thank you for doing so much research and passing it on.

[@elizabethclareslife]

Easiest glass cleaner is a squirt of dish soap in a spray bottle, fill about 1/3 full with vinegar, and then the rest of the way with water. It is really simple and so cheap! I'm always tempted to buy glass cleaner and then I think of how much I save making my own!

[@threerivershomestead]

Thanks for sharing!

[@justpatty7328]

Job well done on the root cellar, it has come together beautifully! It is rewarding seeing the fruits of your labor. God bless each of you!

[@erickan2297]

have u ever used silicone muffins molds ? saves on muffin paper cups

[@cindyloguirato8435]

Yes I have been using natural cleaners and also make my own because of the toxic chemicals added to the traditional cleaners. Jessica it’s very smart of you to live a healthy lifestyle in every way. I enjoy your videos and seeing your sweet family.

[@marilyneddy6103]

Where did you find your stacking bins? They are so convienient looking.

[@DollyJohanne]

Thank you for sharing ❤ I would love to see hauls from Walmart, Sams and Aldi 😊 Looking forward to seeing the cellar also 😊 Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

[@tammyr2966]

Love seeing how you save money and still buy healthy food! Would love to see how you save money elsewhere with other stores. I’ve been wanting to buy from Azure, but just haven’t, am nervous about first time pickup, etc. It’s local here in Oregon, so I should just order! I agree with you on buying the Alaskan salmon. I grew up with a dad who commercial fished and worked in Alaska. It truly is the best salmon and the Northwest has some of the best seafood ever!

[@MFV77]

Hi there. I don’t use Azure that much anymore because I eat carnivore now. However, don’t let fear of going to your first time stop you. I felt the very same way. It was a little bit confusing, but I figured it out. I learned that some places have people who will sort into piles as things come off the truck, and others require more careful listening. Still just find someone with a clip board or a friendly face, and ask for help and you’ll be fine..! One thing I didn’t know was to allow time for everything to be hauled off the truck .

[@joyces.9021]

So glad to hear you say your kids prefer store bought ketchup! Ketchup connoisseurs are real.😆 Yes please, show us your other grocery hauls too!

[@sarahwhitson1756]

Would love to see what you get from Aldi and Walmart!

[@105cathy]

I was told at Costco, that they ship most items and ship for free. I live about 90 minutes from the closest Costco. Haven’t tried it yet though👍

[@dilay5898]

Great haul. I wish you mention the prices. Would be very useful. Can you please also mention prices if you have them handy in upcoming hauls? Love to see other hauls as well ❤

[@amyjones5660]

Yes, I love all haul videos!

[@christinablackwell7949]

You are an inspiration. I would love to see your hauls from Sam’s, Walmart and Aldi.

[@suburbanfarms]

No delivery fee here in Portland Oregon! Check them out if you live in the area, super good deal and lots of drop points

[@NOVAFrugalFamily]

I buy the small containers of baking powder too so glad to hear that you think it last longer like that too. I get the Whole Foods aluminum free one because I can get it cheaper even though the price just went up again. So great that you have the storage that you want. Great products.

[@taraschmidheini4674]

💛 lots of love , admiration & appreciation from Connecticut

[@catracampolieto8989]

Thank you for taking the time to show your food haul.❤

[@deblanfair8510]

Im so happy you have the basement storage now. Wonderful video as always!

[@Frogginnator]

water chestnuts are amazing in chicken teriyaki. black olives are great in salads. pacific salmon is the only version salmon you should get. most fishing boats in Alaska are from Seattle where im at.

[@cindymccarty4454]

Happy for you that you got the basement up and going with all your supplies. A very good video again today.❤

[@Babylandy1]

Would love to see random hauls. It’s just really interesting to see what others buy when they go shopping. Thanks so much for sharing and blessings to you and your family. 😊

[@TXDHC]

We use the food grade 6% h2O2 for cleaning also. I use it mostly with Bronner’s soap diluted as a veg wash, letting it sit for a bit. Last week I found a dead fly in our organic Romaine lettuce 😖 I feel better knowing that it will kill whatever grunge is on it. I love seeing what others are trying from our biggest food source…Azure! Edit: check Barred Woods for a good price on gallons of MS. We’ve used them for yrs.

[@joannjohnson62]

Will you share the amounts you use for the veggie wash? Thanks.

[@iartistdotme]

Really learned things about why and how you use them - very worthwhile watching this video!

[@caroljarvis1551]

Thank you for your awesome videos. I get so many ideas. I would love to see other grocery hauls. Does Azure deliver to your home? I am working on the day of the drop in our area.

[@firegirl441fromga6]

When I was a paramedic we used hydrogen peroxide in the laundry to remove blood and body fluids as it is OSHA approved for that so you are correct using that😁

[@crystalh1402]

I love watching your Azure hauls because it gives me so many ideas ❤ and now I have some points on price comparison

[@ChrisAlred-mn5if]

Thankyou so much for this video. I appreciate you sharing your shopping tips with us. I love your storage space. Thanks again and God bless you and your family. ❤❤😊

[@anetzband1383]

Your cellar is looking wonderful and I'm looking forward to a full tour. That's just great!

[@DigitHomesteading]

Absolutely show more Aldi's hauls! My closet one is 2hrs away so I like to see what prices things are and that people love!💚💚💚

[@AndreasCreations]

Great haul and wonderful information. I had not heard that about cleaning with vinegar! So happy that you are enjoying your cellar. Blessings.

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

I love hearing your take on products. I have tried some of the things you talk about.

[@tawanajackson5545]

Awesome haul and cellar

[@lisaosterbauer1565]

I love to see Aldi and Sam Club orders I love watching food hauls

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 Thanks for the Haul Tour, Jessica. You downstairs stirage pantry is looking great, how nice that you have it now!Your upstairs storage will come together also. Happy October 2st, WoW, how did that happen😮, only one quarter of 2023 left to go. 💚

[@njagatlin]

Thank you sharing your haul. I am adding hydrogen peroxide to my cart. I wanted to suggest you try coconut syrup as a sweetener alternative. I enjoy it on pancakes, oatmeal, and yogurt bowls. I order it every time I make an order.

[@lynsmith2698]

I so enjoy your videos Jessica. Your cellar is really coming along, my cold room is my favourite place in my house. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. 🇨🇦🌷

[@michelea9142]

Thanks for all the information. It's always helpful! Blessings to you and yours.

[@mylittleruralhomestead]

I have been wanting to order from Azure Standard for quite some time; however, we don't have a pick up location here in Northern Michigan to my dismay. Maybe in a year or two..lol Coconut in Pumpkin pie? I'm intrigued, maybe you will share the recipe in the future? Yes, for including Walmart and Aldi in your hauls 🥰, which are two of the five stores where I typically shop. I don't find them boring at all.😀
