@Michele @ Frugal Granola, Thanks so much! I did call Azure Standard, but they don't deliver to FL - have also tried Local Harvest and found farms for a few items. I may do a sample order with Azure and see how the UPS shipping charges work out. Still searching for a true co-op for bulk buying in FL. Thanks again.

Your top two things are exactly what my husband and I were discussing today at lunch! We’re hoping for baby #2 soon and need to get rid of debt! And I really want to be at home, raising my children instead of someone else!

@Jenny, you can easily make a number of snacks, like applesauce (which you can add other berries to!) in your crockpot, breads, low-sugar cookies, etc. My kids have been helping in the kitchen since they were a year old, so let them enjoy!

@Patti, You can use newspapers instead of paper towels to clean your windows. Tea towels work too. They don't have lint.

@Emily, Well, I’ve never dried a chicken… is that necessary? I just cook them.

But anyway, I use old cloth gerber “burp rags” or dishcloths for cleaning, and cloth napkins. Here is a post I wrote on our kitchen tips: http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/08/greening-your-food-storage-the-frugal-way.html

@Eileen, I order from Azure Standard. They have delivery routes, and will also ship. http://www.azurestandard.com

You can also check Local Harvest, to see if any farms near you will sell direct. (I have purchased nuts this way.) http://www.localharvest.org

If you have any small “co-op” natural foods stores in town, check into them. Find out who their supplier is, and if you can order directly with them (or if they offer bulk/case discounts at the store).

You may be pleasantly surprised! I’d love to hear what you discover.
Blessings,
Michele
