We’re going the bulk route but wanted 3 months of the canned food on hand.
The way we’re looking at it, the canned stuff is there for several reasons:
1. Supplement and flavor the bulk grains, beans, pasta.
2. Trade goods - individual cans are good trade ‘units’.
3. Provide variety (ties into item #1) and the occasional treat.
Doesn’t pay to open a #10 can of baked beans when there are only two or three of you. We know.
