amount of food to store

[vim]

Unfortunately I have not found one. I buy many items like dehydrated potatoes, gravies and many other things on my trips back to Oregon. They have a Winco foods and the closest one is in Utah. Take a look. http://www.zubon.org/log/293

If you like to pack your own it is a great place since there are many items you can buy in small amounts to try and play with.

Thanks. I'll be driving out that way this summer and will look for a Winco to check out. When I'm in the SLC area, I always stop at Macey's; I do like that store.

Regarding Farris Survival, I visited their storefront last week as I needed some mylar bags and thought I might pick them up locally rather than waiting to get from online. The store is small and not really much stock on hand. Seemed very disorganized. They had a few of the blue plastic drums for water, etc in various sizes, some other plastic storage containers. I saw about 4 or so 25lb bags of wheat, rolled oats. The price on their 5 gal pail size mylar bags was $5 and I buy them online for $1.47. I expected to pay a little more, but thought that was excessive. Oh - and theirs were 3mil and the ones I buy online are 5mil.

Needless to say, I wasn't too impressed.

One other thing. I always look and buy on sale for my canned goods. This week King Soopers has cans of tuna on for 50 cents with no limit. Albertsons has it 2 for a $1 as well but a limit of 4. The last I bought a couple of weeks ago had a best use by feb of 2014.

Now I do not know about some but we can eat some tuna. My oldest is dated 06 of 2013 and I keep at least 40 cans on hand for that price.

And for the canners out there Rancho Liborio has boneless/skinless chicken breasts on sale for $1.47 a pound. They also have center cut loin chops for $1.77 per pound as well as Knorr chicken bouillon 1Kg (2.2lbs) for $4.99.
