To be honest, I don’t buy baked goods in bulk, or at all; I make my own. You were just asking how baked goods bought in bulk could be kept. I’m acquainted with some fabulous bakers who make cakes, etc. and freeze them in case unexpected guests show up.

I do buy wheat flour and cornmeal in bulk and bake using that, but storage is very important. Bugs will get in them if you’re not careful. That’s true for buying animal feed in bulk, too.

I’d rather buy hamburger at Costco than at my local grocery chain. The grocers admit that what goes into their hamburger is any piece of leftover garbage. Costco’s meat is USDA inspected before it gets ground.

Other cuts of meat are much better quality and much cheaper than I could get at a grocery store, too. I do buy these and freeze them. Don’t worry much about the power going out, as around here that usually happens in winter, so I can just put frozen food out in the garage and it will stay nicely frozen.
