Homestead Grocery haul | Buying from the Amish, Costco, Sams & Aldi

I am finally doing a long-awaited grocery haul. I have put it off for so long because I cannot give you sources for the groceries we buy at the Amish. If you're looking for similar groceries you can try Azure standard. We don't always buy in bulk but anytime we can we do to help save money.

DISCLAIMER: My husband and I recently bought a neglected 34-acre farm with several barns, buildings, and a two-story farmhouse. Our plans are to restore the farm and farmhouse to its former glory all while adding our own individual style and design. We decided to vlog the entire renovation process for our own personal records and for future generations. We are in no way experts in renovating nor do we claim to be professionals. All Lewis Acres Homestead videos are for entertainment purposes only. We recommend you always consult professional experts when completing any home renovations and wear proper protective gear.

I am not a professional I am only sharing what I have learned and my opinion.

I have been buying bulk for awhile but currently creating personalized templates for an easier structured process & educational courses to inspire. It helps to see what others are doing to help me create well rounded resources for self & others. Thank you for sharing.

Your chicken is VERY healthy! Everything here is well balanced. Good haul! 🎈

Girl sometimes life is all about balance. Show your grocery hauls !! I love seeing other's show what they can get from the Amish store's unfortunately living in our part of the south we don't have that option. So, yes I'm always up to see what choices & what y'all can get from the Amish in your area. I don't even think we have an option for Azure and I definitely don't do Thrive. It's either Food Lion, The Pig, Walmart, Sam's which is a hour away for us. Sometimes life gets really busy and many time's it's just getting something on the table for dinner. But I love making thing's homemade...sometimes that just doesn't happen. I enjoyed the video. ❤

Great video. I so enjoy your channel. Please do t feel u need to explain what things you buy. Life is busy and even though I am retired, we are setting up a new homestead and I buy convenient foods for us on them crazy days. Oh wow what a deal on Einkorn, last time I bought 5 lbs of it, unground it cost me 38.00 anyways, thanks for sharing, take care….🌷🇨🇦

Love to see what you buy. We ordered Azure when we lived in TN bc our drive was 10 minutes from us. We are now in SE KY and Somerset or Knoxville are the closest to us but still 1 1/2 away. I’m trying to do Aldi, Amazon, & WM now.

I know those bulk bags, I also shop at our local Amish store. I did however just learn that the supplies the Amish have in their stores are NOT just sold by the Amish. My cousin just bought out an amish bulk food store and she is now keeping those same food, cooking and baking ingredients in her store. Wishing so much that more small mom and pop stores like hers would open back up, and so people would put their money into locally owned and away from giant corporations.

Thank you for this video, I always enjoy each one you post. I never could find your newsletter 🧐

Nice to see your haul. I am lucky to have a nice Aldi in my town and I buy a lot of our food there. We have a community of six thousand Amish next to us in Arthur Illinois and I get all my spices, lots of grains and all the Walnut Creek products at those stores and get our meat from an Amish meat market once a month. What vegetables I don't grow I get from the local farmers market in the summer. I bake gluten free and I buy most of my flours mail order from Vitacost, it's a company owned by Kroger and I buy their brand. About every three months I buy a few big packages of chicken breasts on sale and can two large breasts per pint jar and they are nice for quick meals.

I lived in Burlington when I was a little girl. 😂That was long ago like 60 years ago. But I do relate to the different areas you mention. Enjoy your videos.

[karenbrewer]

The multigrain chips from Aldi are good also and Luzianne tea is “the tea of the south”. Hope you like it. We don’t have a Cosco but do have Sam’s. We go once a month there and also Aldi. 😊

It's interesting to see what others buy and get introduced to new items. Curious as to what you spent for the bulk haul. I do one large grocery shop a month, it's usually around $200.00. I live alone and take advantage of bogos, if it's something I normally use. One other time a month, I go to the smaller/closer store for parishables and basics. We don't have a Costco or Sam's in my area either. I know it's not food, but really wish we had an Ikea closer to me.
I like that most of your items are organic and they look good!

When will you have another video, I look every week. I so enjoy your channel 😊

[gayleb]

Please discuss how to use Einkorn flour 😵‍💫 I have trouble with it.

[hollyu]

Great haul, also how is your garden doing this yr in the new spot?

[MandeeLowrey]

Have you tried the butter from costco??? It came highly recommended to me!!! & it's much cheaper!!!!

[jenniferhaynes]

Do you know the names of the Amish stores you frequently visit? I am from the Georgetown area and the only one I know that is remotely close to us is the Grandview store in Cynthiana. I would LOVE to be able to shop at others even if I have to drive a bit.

Do you have a video of your new bathroom

[jinjerlucas]

Where is the Amish store you got the lids and rings? I live in KY.
