After finding lots of bulk items I want to make on Pinterest I decided to go the LDS Cannery to pick up bulk items I was looking for. Before I go into the details I would like to say, since my purpose for going was to buy in bulk , the Cannery was NOT the best place for that. When I got done at the cannery I still was in need of several items.
I went to Cosco, and didn't find what I was looking for (whole wheat flour and such), so then I headed over to Winco. Let me tell you, that place is a GEM for bulk items!!! I got everything I needed and more there and their prices are awesome!! They have a WIDE variety of EVERYTHING including organic items, probably 15 different flour choices in all,and best of all, you can buy how ever much or little as you want.
OK, so while at the Cannery, I got caught up which the excitement of all the shinny silver cans and in retrospect shouldn't have bought all I did, because it didn't fulfill my immediate need. On the positive side, now I have kick started my food storage.
If you are looking for food storage, the LDS Cannery is the place to go! Way cheaper than any food storage you can buy online or at Cosco. The missionary 'sister' was very kind and helpful. You do NOT have to be Mormon to buy or can goods.
First, I picked out what I wanted that was all ready to go from the shelves in the foyer (you can head in there anytime and grab items off the shelf and purchase them). When someone cans items, they must can ALL of the 30-60lb bag and whatever they don't need goes on the shelf for others to purchase. After I got what I wanted off the shelves, I still had a list of items that wasn't pre-canned (and since it is slow during Christmas and summer vacation, I was able to go to the back and can what I needed). The sister helped me and in 1 1/2 hours, we had canned 5 different things (about 50 - #10 cans). I took what I wanted and paid $117 for 24 - #10 cans of 11-12 different food items. I think I paid more at the Cannery then Winco for a few items, but their powdered milk was definitely cheaper then anyplace else. Now I have food storage!!! Any questions?
