Do you know about Azure Standard? If you are fortunate enough that they
deliver in your area, it will help save greatly on your grain and baking
budget. For example, 25 pounds of whole white wheat flour is around 15
dollars! $1.66/ pound is cheaper than the all purpose flour you can buy at Wal-Mart, and it's healthier! If you are like me and mill all of your own grain, there are fantastic prices on whole grains too!
Our family's money-saving journey started when I realized that frugal living really *does* work — and I have traveled that road for several
years now. What did take me some time was learning how to home-can bulk items, preserve garden produce, save money on
natural goods and organic items. Savings abound on the seemingly countless processed and unhealthy items in the stores. I am now happy to report that the organic coupon industry is finally picking up steam. Finding ways to save money on healthy natural and organic goods involves other tricks
and tools that involve much more than simply couponing. Some of those strategies I discuss here include:
- cook from scratch...really
- grow your own
- buy locally
- buy groceries off Amazon (you read right! a new way for your family to save on natural and organic goods)
- CSAs
I no longer believe my family can't eat well for less!!!!
