BULK FOOD BUYING AND STORING

I have 2 sites listed on this site for bulk food buying. They are both very good but the Waltons site has more items available. When you buy wheat in bulk you can buy it in paper sacks or in 6 gallon pails. The 6 gallon pails are more expensive but after getting several you can just order the paper sacks full,which is much cheaper and dump them in your empty 6 gallon pails. I have also ordered in the sacks and emptied them into seal able storage bags. The plain zip lock gallon bags work the best. I have not been happy with the easy zip with the plastic slider across the top. These tend to leak air and cause the items to get moist. So just stick with the regular ziplock. The # 10 cans are great and can be used before spoilage worries.Make sure you store them in an area without pests like mice since they will bite into the bags.
You can really save buying in bilk. If you do not have a large family and worry about how you would use it all then find some friends that would like to buy with you and then split it up amongst yourselves. I shop with coupons but the bulk items seldom go on sale in the regular grocery store and never have a coupon.
