I'll answer my own post. When in stock, the LDS food store has them for $0.25 each. Picked up a few today along with some more supplies.Quote:

Coronavirus Update
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our normal business operations have been temporarily suspended and preparedness products are sold out
You know it's bad when you run through the Mormons' food reserves.
Wow.
UPDATE: They are still closed, until future notice. Expecting a mid sept reopening, maybe.
No doubt!Quote:

I wonder if it's more of a supply chain issue.
There are posts in this thread about how Provident Living isn't really a money maker for the Mormon church, but they do it anyway. In a situation like this, you'd think they'd be all hands on deck to meet the increased demand and pad their bottom line. But if they're closed until September because of COVID, that suggests to me that they may very well have a supply chain issue, which isn't particularly encouraging.
Exactly.Quote:

The provident Living (Home Storage Centers) or cannery as some of still refer to them as, is what's closed. The bishops Storehouse, which supplies those in need (ebt, wic and some special programs) are still open. Only you need the right paperwork to gain access.
IMO The mormons who have been BE PREPARED for ever, not just for a disaster. Looked at the numbers of panic driven hoarding. Took a vote and decided Their church and it's members come first..
With (Im sure) knowledge of supplies across the board and potential shortages of who knows what. They , like everyone, else put their people first. Wouldn't you?
Anyone know if they have reopened
call and ask.

Called the storage center in the springs today and was told they may reopen in October or November
key word. May. Out here they were told the same thing. But don't see a lot of inventory being readied. HOWEVER their on line store is up. Received a few cases of goods last week.Quote:

I am. I had to leave my food reserves with my ex and kids.
Trying to build up a new stash again. Money is tight. I did buy some items from Costco.
Might order something from Mormons.
I need water jugs or barrels cheap.

$20 dollars buys a lot of cases of water until the budge allows for something more.
We haven't been worried for a few years.Quote:
