I only spend $300 a Month on Organic Groceries | Grocery List on a Budget | BUDGET AND SAVING MONEY

[@Janey234]

Love Azure!!! Dry milk powder, buttermilk, beans and grains, spices...all cost less than grocery store prices and often get organic for less than non store organic. Example...25 pounds organic black beans is $1.19 lb at Azure. Walmart 1 pound non organic$1.49 lb.

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Love it Janey!!! Yes yes yes I agree! I just used the powdered milk the other day from Azure when I was out of milk.. it actually tasted pretty good in a latte I was surprised! And I agree with you, always much less expensive!

I really loved this video, please keep making more of this type of video! Saving, Whole Foods etc. I’ve eaten Whole Foods for years but have been more intentional on sourcing, and raw milk, and from scratch cooking and I feel so much better too!

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Thats amazing!!! So awesome to hear. :) I definitely will! Any topic you'd specifically like a video on?!

[@natalieayala2008]

@@simplemainekitchen5597 I’d love a breakdown of what you plan on buying to stock your pantry. I love grocery hauls which I see you have a few ❤️ but I struggle with buying extra ingredients I end up not using so I’m trying to streamline my go to stocked items. I recently did a pantry challenge and it was a doozy using up random stuff I bought on sale or for a specific recipe lol

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

@@natalieayala2008 Oh yes great point!! I love this. I will make a video on this. :)

Azure is great. I purchase about 80% of my household needs from Azure then the other 20% I have delivered from Walmart.

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Awesome!!

[@carolpena5838]

I must say, I hear a lot of tips these days that our parents and grandparents did out of necessity, (deep freezer, shop 1/month, bulk, etc.) right down to shopping at Aldi. With all these tips and "hacks" I wonder if ppl have just been carelessly wasteful the last few years. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I'm sure there's so much more to your channel. With your likeable down-to-earth personality, you have yourself a new subscriber, maam! Btw: when I was Paleoish, I learmed to make comdiments. Great tip!

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Yes totally!! I think it's a bummer we try to make everything "convenient"-- we miss out on a lot of joy and better nutrition! Ohh amazing! So smart about the condiments, feel free to send over your favorite recipes if you have any! Thank you for the kind message + subscribing!!

[@bmarieluvstheearth3879]

We go several times a week but we only buy what we need. We are retired so time at the grocery store isn't stressful. Also bulk buying isn't good for us. We don't have freezers, multiple, and aren't interested in more freezers.

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

That's great!

[@patmartin9727]

Just found your wonderfully inspiring channel. I have subscribed will be binge watching your over the next few days. I will also be emailing you for more advise.

Oh thank you so much! That makes me so happy!!!

You're welcome girl!

[@naturalleejess700]

Wonderful tips! I’m curious are you able to maintain the $300 today with inflation?

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Good Question! Maybe I'll make another video. :)

@@simplemainekitchen5597 that would be awesome!

[@patmartin9727]

I too live alone and would love to cut the cost of my groceries. The prices in the uk have rocketed over the last year. I try not to waste food and shop with a list but my bill has still doubled in this time.

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Ugh yes I know what you mean! Groceries have gotten so expensive... are you able to order in bulk from anywhere around you? I found this website, not sure how good it is. bulksupermarket.com/ You could always try ordering from Amazon as well. Or maybe the Source of Bulk Foods?

[@akferren1]

I spend up to $400 a week on organic food

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

I can totally understand why, they are indeed expensive! Have you tried bulk buying before?

[@EstherDesorcy-zi1kz]

Loved this. But what about fresh fruits and veggies? My lettuce never lasts longer than a week and my kids love fresh fruit. Any tips? I always find i have to run back to store cuz I run out of all my fresh food.

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Yes! I will by fruit at different stages of ripeness, and store it in the fridge (really hard pears will last in the fridge for about a month, as well as apples) and I also will buy a couple bunches of ripe bananas, as well as a couple bunches of green bananas. As for veggies, do your kiddos like things like carrots and avocado and kale?? If so, buy bunches of those items and store properly in the fridge, so you can consume them fresh after eating through your fresh lettuces! Also, store lettuce in a bag with a moist paper towel and they will last much longer!

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Celery lasts super long as well and is a great snack for kiddos.

[@bearclaire]

Buy stuff at different stages of ripeness. Eat the produce that spoils quicker first. Apples and oranges stay good in the fridge for quite a while. And other fruits like kiwis once they are ripe put them in the fridge and they will last for a while more as they stop ripening in the fridge. Same for avocado's once ripe put them straight into the fridge to keep them at that ripeness for a couple more weeks. Veggies like Carrots and cabbage hold up well. celery, peppers, radishes, beets etc stay fresh quite well too. Frozen veggies are good too, like corn and peas, and veg that is less nice frozen is still good for certain meals like soups. Also some canned/jarred/vacuum packed veg is fine like baby corn, corn on the cob, corn kernels, beetroot, sauerkruat, beans, when it comes to lettuce a head of iceberg will hold up better than a precut bag of lettuce.

Did not enjoy this video. Sounds like she wants to work every hour. She has awake. Not interested in doing so much busy work without buying food

[@simplemainekitchen5597]

Totally get it, it's not for everyone! Hope you have a good day. :)
