I bought an entire top round this weekend for just $1.62 a pound, and put up a bunch of meat in the freezer and have five pounds of ground jerky marinating in the fridge that we’ll make into snak sticks tomorrow. Vacume bagged with an O2 absorber, that meat will keep indefinitely.

I also grabbed a bag of “Special trimmings” whcih is what they cut off of flank steaks to make them uniform, for $1.90 a pound vs $3.50 for flank steak. Partially frozen, sliced, marinated and dehydrated, that meat also makes killer jerky.

My neighbor is a hunter and usually gets all kinds of offers of deer and elk meat, and I told him not to turn any of it down this year. We’re going into high gear on jerky this fall...
Last time I checked you could still get a 50 pound bag of American hong grain white rice for $17, and a good bucket to store it in for about $18.

Dried eggs are expensive, but I can recommend a good source, along with other dried and dehydrated products.

If you're going to so some food storage for some bad times, you will need to can up a side of beef. Buy up some jars and lids. Get a pressure cooker. Meat in the cans lasts for years and does not need refrigeration.

Veggies in cans are awesome. And canned plum tomatoes. I do 100 lbs of them every three years and it makes this incredible spaghetti sauce people would die for.

I learned to can chicken just to see if I could in case our electricity went out and the freezer was useless.

“My neighbor is a hunter..”

This congress is going to turn us all into hunters before they are done, that is, if we want to eat.
