I decided to add this grocery bill to April because I ordered it in April. It won't be shipped till next week though. I order from Azure Standard about once a month because it has excellent prices and large sizes of food. Here is what I ordered this time.

| HS221 | Oregon Spice Tomato Powder, Dehydrated | 1 lb. | 1 | $10.50 | $10.50 | |

Tomato Powder-I am completely out of tomato sauce that I froze from last summer. This year I will need to grow more tomatoes so I will not have to order this anymore. I use tomato powder anytime I need to add a tomato taste to our food. Usually in mexican food. I find that it makes the dishes more moist.
Cinnamon-My girls LOVE cinnamon in their oatmeal or on their toast. I pay over $10 if I buy it locally from the bulk section. Here it's just about half that price. Just need to remember to order it and not over pay next time.
Peppermint Oil-I have been out of this oil for a long time. I use this oil in so many things from dog shampoo(keeps fleas at bay), candles and even for headaches. Its essential! In the stores I would pay over $10 so this is a great price. Again just need to remember to order it.
Organic yellow onions-I had to buy some from Whole Foods yesterday and they are $3.99 there. Here I can save 50 cents. Yes a tiny bit of money but hey it adds up to a big total later and then I feel bad. No more forgetting to order!
Albacore Tuna-My husband buys canned tuna from the stores and pays about .80 cents a can. Did I mention BPA laced cans? Yeah its horrible. So this is a test. Buying in large quantities and separating into smaller containers. This way we avoid BPA and avoid excess packaging.
Taco Seasoning-We love mexican food and cook it often. If I were to buy all these spices separately it would cost me at least $10 per pound. Here Azure has the same spices already put together and for only a little over $6 per lb. This stuff is so good! It's not organic but its not filled with preservatives and has way less packaging than if I ordered packets. Win win if you ask me.
Organic garlic-I can find this locally at Whole Foods but it cost me $7.99 per pound. Here I pay $5. Yes $2 difference but hey its $2 and that adds up.
One thing I wanted to note as well is that when I order from Azure its free shipping (our total order for all families have to be over $750 to get free shipping making each of us having to order at least $50 to do this). Remember this when you decide to shop online. Most people forget about this small detail. Yes you might have picked a great deal on food but if your paying for shipping you have to add that in your total as well. Make sure you remember this small detail.
These pennies that I save don't seem like a lot. But when you add them up over time they make a big difference.
P.S. I LOVE AZURE STANDARD!!!!
Check them out, call customer service & see if they deliver in your area
Update:
Grocery Outlet
Adams Organic Peanut Butter $29.88
Coconut Organic Half n half $3.99
Coconut Milk $3.99
Total $37.86
Peanut butter-I didn't need any peanut butter but this was an excellent deal. These retail $5.00 each making these half the price. I can't even make my own peanut butter for that price. Plus these are glass jars with metal lids that I can reuse. Woot!
