Our monthly grocery shopping from Azure Standard: May 2021

on May 23, 2021 by Jami Balmet 0 comments

I’ve been ordering from Azure Standard for years now. In fact, it’s the single place I order the most of our groceries from. We allocate about 50% of our grocery budget to ordering from Azure (and I think once we settle back down in a house, that will be even higher).

Last month I shared our April order that you can see here. Now I’m sharing what we got in May (which was a lot of different things). I tend to order enough from Azure to last a couple of months. So all that grain I ordered in April didn’t need to be ordered again yet. This month I was able to order other things in place of grains – the beauty of ordering in bulk!

How Azure Works:

Azure is a bit unusual in it’s ordering. They are based in Oregon and you are able to place an order once a month. You have an order due by a certain date each month. You place your order and about 2-3 days on the West Coast or up to a week later on the East Coast,  they load a semi-truck with all the orders in your area. At that point, you will find out if they are out of stock of anything and then you will be charged just for the items that ship.

You will know ahead of time the drop point and time. You show up (usually to a place with a big parking lot) and the drop point coordinator has a checklist of everyone’s orders as they come off the semi-truck. You grab your order and are good to go!

Create an account and you can find a drop point in your area to join. Text or call the drop point coordinator for any more pick up day instructions.

The West Coast all ships free since it’s only coming from Oregon. At some point when you go out farther east, a shipping charge is added. For my fairly heavy order from April that was easily 100+ pounds, it added a $30 shipping charge for North Carolina. I know that feels expensive when you live on the East Coast, but the cheaper price of their goods still makes the shipping charge WELL WORTH ordering from Azure.

What I Ordered in April:

I always get asked what I order from Azure. Basically, I look ahead to what things I need for the month and look them up on Azure. More and more I order everything from Azure. But here are some of my favorites:

*Prices do tend to fluctuate a lot with Azure. So sometimes I get use to ordering the same thing again and again but have to search for new brands on Azure when a particular brand gets too expensive.

Grains:

Dry goods:

Other Pantry Items:

Nuts:

Cold Items:
