I'm sure it doesn't help, but the amish place up the road.

Usually in some metro area somewhat close there will be one or more restaurant supply stores, actual stores. Some of them around here will sell to anybody, which is where you get your bulk stuff.
Except table salt. I cannot find bulk table salt to save my soul around here. |

Is "table" salt better than "sea" salt?
I guess my thinking is less complicated storage and would be able to make up any missing nutrients with other foods. |

Table salt is pure salt, usually with iodide added. BUT, as I understand, the iodine has a shelf life. The micro-nutrients (including iodide) in pink salt are GTG for longer than you. |

We have restaurant supply store in our A/O. JETRO is local to us and the only requirement is that you have a business tax number or a tax exempt cert to shop there and no membership fees.
Pretty good prices but everything is in 5 gallon buckets. |

I buy most of my stuff now from Walmart.com. Low shipping and they have cane sugar, lots of survival foods.
The Morena sugar is excellent. 8#bags. Does not get hard during storage. |

I'm 300 miles from the closest Mormon cannery BUT, my dad lives near one and I place an order quite often with him. Closest Winco foods is about 300 miles as well, I make sure to stop by every time we hit either OKC or the Metro Plex. I have a buddy that lives in BFE, Texas, Deep West Texas. I buy stuff for him all the time and take it when I visit. Depending on where you are, what you wanted etc... someone might be willing to "rat line" some things for you.....

How much will you really save by purchasing the rice and sugar in 50 lb bags? For instance, I can often just about match per pound my purchase price of 50 lb bags of sugar or rice with what I can buy at a discount grocery store like ALDI. Their product is just in a 4 or 5 lb bag
For what it is worth, I buy my 50 lb bags of sugar by the pallet, each one weighing over a ton, and usually several at a time with other pallets of items to save on the trucking. There is a slight savings there, perhaps a dollar or two over the 50 lbs but the convenience is more important then the small savings to me. If you are going to repackage it, does it really matter how it comes? The 50 lb bags rip so easy anyways, and mice will get in it if it is not repacked. From the pallet load perspective, the 50 lb bags sugar tends to flatten out and hang over the sides of the pallet, which with those thin bags is just asking for damage when moving the skid with a forklift. |

I sure hope all that sugar you buy by the PALLET isn't for consumption by just you and yours. The diabetes will kill you very quickly. Quote HistoryQuoted:

We've rotated some sugar from the 90's that was fine. Just plain white sugar, nothing fancy dancy.
