Harmons Case Lot Sale - Think of Food Storage

I just got the Harmons ad today and was impressed with their case lot sale. It's for 3 weeks (Jan 5 - Jan 25.)

If you've always wanted to get a good start on your basic long-term food storage, now is the time. The wheat is only $19.99 for 45 lbs and it already comes in a bucket! I've usually been getting my wheat at the Bosch Kitchen Center during their semi-annual conference sales (April & October) for about $19.99 for a 50 lb bag. Then I'd have to transfer the wheat into durable containers. It's a deal at Harmons to get the wheat already in the pails!

(If you wanted to know, I prefer the hard white wheat. It's better tasting for making bread and as far as I've researched the nutritional value is the same as the hard red wheat. I have a lot of hard red wheat and now buy the hard white wheat to mix together to make the flour tastier.)

Since I make bread all the time now, I have started using a few extra ingredients like dough enhancer and vital wheat gluten that help the bread last longer, rise higher, and make me spend less time actually making the bread. These items are also on sale at Harmons too.

Other items are of course on sale. I think Harmons will let you buy only a few items at the same case-lot price if you don't want to buy the whole case. If you do end up buying the whole case, make sure you look at the "best if used by" date. If you & your family eat that much in that given time then go ahead and buy the case. I once bought a mac & cheese case when Salem was just a baby and we (actually I) only ended up eating a few boxes before the expiration date. I gave the rest away.

Here is the shopping list from PYP/Grocery Smarts though interestingly it doesn't include some of the food storage items that I just talked about.
