Super cheap food from the Mormons

[Rooskibar03]

I feel completely inadequate right now.


That said there were people canning yesterday and they said we could have canned some of the stuff we bought if we wanted to.

Of course now there's no cans left....

Or Ill come to your place and do it there.

Nice HBAR good load you got there. Did you borrow there canner or do you have your own?

[tactical_2012]

The only thing yall should be worried about canning is onions, carrots, white beans, black beans, and refried beans. EVERYTHING else will still be there but will come already canned.

Just curious, what's a pallet of those run? I'm on no position to buy or seal them even if I could.

488 cans per pallet.
$.75 per can
$.15 per metal lid
$.10 per plastic lid. (we only have 1 box of lids for a couple thousand cans)
$.95 per box. 6 cans per box. ( we never bought boxes until today, you need them, it makes storing and moving them much easier)
$.10 per oxygen absorber. (we probably over do it but we use 2 per can)

for just a pallet of cans and metal lids and nothing else it would be $439 plus tax. It is a heck of a lot more if you buy somewhere else and have them freighted to you. We tried years ago, before we knew about LDS.


and the sealer was about $850 or so. Its this one, which is a little more than we paid. We couldnt drive 170 miles to can a few cans, and 6 of our kids is 8 and under so we couldnt go down there and can all day either. This way we can can whenever we feel like it.

My wife just returned from the LDS Cannery. They will not be ordering more cans. They will not offer self canning anymore. Once they are out of product, its over. They said there had been some misunderstandings in the last couple weeks. ONLY PRE CANNED PRE PACKAGED FOOD WILL BE AVAILABLE.

So, I guessed earlier at my wife spending $2000, nope $2400 and barely any of that was food. I dont know why this thread is titled super cheap food from the Mormons. And to top it all off. The cans are full of water from the constant rain.






And my wife is such a good wife. She went to work this morning like usual at 430am. Drove 45 miles to work. Left early at 1pm and drove 45 miles home. Then took her truck and trailer 85 miles south through the rain and flooded streets including Tower by the airport. Got all the supplies and headed back 85 miles in the rain pulling a trailer loaded.

DUPE! it's already been mentioned NO MORE canning and CANNED GOODS ONLY. Where's the fukin repost flatfoots when you need them.
Oh yeah drying cans out

Anybody been by in the last week or so? Anything left worth grabbing before Nov 1?

If I'm reading correctly, the cans, apples and white beans are gone at this point...?

Also, is there a website or newsletter or something that will tell you what they have in a particular week (other than the "normal" stuff)?

[Rooskibar03]

I was there Tuesday and picked up a canner (they let you borrow one for a week free) to can some items we bought a few weeks back. It's looking pretty bare. No more milk, refried beans, a few bags of quick oats, lots of hot coco.

There were a few beans but I wasn't looking real hard at what they had. I grabbed some potato flakes and macaroni and another bag of quick oats but it was right before the close so I didn't dink around much.

Im im returning the canner Tuesday and I'll take a final look.

sprouts just had/has quick oats at .49 cents a pound. and pintos are super cheap in the greeley area. if you need to buy some to can.
