Seems to me this is the first time in history where it wasn’t common to store food against lean times.
Properly managing the bounty God has provided is being faithful. Running out and wasting it on luxury’s would be questionable.
I agree with both of you. I’ve bought in bulk for years and years, just not as much bulk.
;-)
I’ve always hated shopping, always been poor, so buying in bulk makes sense - much cheaper, and I don’t have to go to the store often.
Honeyville farms has some stores in the west and some Walmart’s and Smith’s stores in the west carry some Augason Farms.

Excellent verses. I should save them just for circumstances like this!
I have spent hundred of hours researching and have come across numerous pieces of info that might be very helpful to our FR preppers. Any chance we can have a weekly thread related to newly found products or? ??.
today I found PRI-G which extends the life of gas for months. Found it for only twenty some bucks. Plan on storing gas now (generators chain saws etc).
Also found pump n seal. A cheap way of using regular jars to seal dry products.
I am coming across a lot of products but it takes weeks sometimes months to find it . I’d like to share and vice versa.
Your thoughts?

I don’t have such and I am not even sure who you could do such on FR, but it would be useful.
I was thinking about Tattler.
Several years ago I bought a Back to Basic steam canner. It does the same thing a water bath canner does except it only uses 3 pints of water. It's so nice not to have that big pot of boiling water heating up the house when it is already hotter than the hinges of hell at canning time.
Is the pump-n-seal a manual apparatus? I have a sealer for jars with my Foodsaver but it would be nice not to have to drag that out everytime I open a jar of something, to take a little out, and have to reseal.
“I was thinking about Tattler.”
I’m tellin’ Mom!
>> I found PRI-G which extends the life of gas for months <<
Any idea how it compares to Stabil?
A Co worker checked it out today and he said PRI-G is one third the cost. Extends gas by up to a year. My coworker used stable. Not any more. If you go to goodboatgear.com. cheapest I could find. Treats 516 gallons.

Yes its manual. From what I can tell it gets to 28 which I understand is a really good seal. Best part is you don’t have to use canning jars. Try YouTube. They have a demo. I paid about 30 some dollars. Waiting to get it in mail. This is for DRY PRODUCTS ONLY. Like dehydrated stuff.

LOL!
I watched the video. After you get and use yours let me know how it works.
It is almost inevitable that some loudmouth will stir the rest up to just 'take what is rightfully theirs' (regardless of facts).
Take out the agitators first, before they drift to the back of the pack. When they get back there, they'll push for the cannon fodder to overrun your position. Eliminate them early, and the rest will slink away.
