Bulk Food Supplier

Postby ardorlan » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:59 pm

I am looking for a bulk food supplier, that I can trust.
products that are treated to be pest free, and will have a long shelf life.

Above all, I am looking for low low prices and good quality.
I feel staples like sugar, and flour should be used from my low price food storage.

I am not worried about a food storage, but I am very worried about raising costs of food.
This goes right along with my garden plan.

My goals are to have a 2 week supply of food if stores are closed.
My goal is to buy bulk now of staples to save myself money in the long run.
Peanut butter costs are going up, I would like to get some Cheap Peanut better now.

The idea is to buy in bulk before prices go up, use up that bulk and buy more.
I do not plan to let my food storage just sit there, Just in case.

I was looking at the Supplier Future Essentials, they have a case of sugar that works out to be $3.20 a pound, I currently get sugar at walmart for $3.00 a pound, but Future Essentials has packaging that will last.

How else is out there for Bulk Food Supplier? We do allot of home cooking in my house, Always using Sugar and Flour.

Give link below a look for things that aren't easy to find. Their shipping is amazing. I ordered a bag of wheat berries from them as a test - $5 shipping for a 50 lb bag from UT to FL, and it arrived fine - good quality wheat. Unlimited shipping for $12. I've got them on my short list for finishing some key supplies.

Flour does not have a long shelf life - if you want stored flour for very long you have to buy the wheat berries, a grinder, and be able to use whole wheat flour that you grind yourself. However for sugar etc you can usually buy local. Sugar never goes bad if you keep it dry and away from pests. Buy the big bags from Costco/BJs/Sams etc in the 25# reinforced poly and they will last as is, or store in plastic 5 gal food grade buckets, which you can get for a few bucks apiece from US Plastics, if you don't have a local source.

Web search "wholesale grocery" for your area, ask them it they will sell to you if you buy over a certain dollar value.

Find your local "LCS", you know, the mormans.
mine has a great stock of canned food, even beef and pork.
I had a hard time finding cheap, good tasting canned meat.
look at the price of Yoder's canned bacon,-- Yikes!!
