I am looking at increasing my hurricane food storage. Best place around Ft. Lauderdale for bulk staples and food grade bucket type gear? Willing to travel a couple hours.

Thanks!

Buckets...cheapest is firehouse subs 2.$ with lid iirc. Other option is ask local doughnut shops. Or buy new from Lowes ...home depot etc.
For Mylar and oxygen absorbers you gotta buy online (sorbent systems is g2g) . As to buying the food. Sam's..bus Costco etc sides that trying to get into one of the lds packing houses.

Go to the bakery in Publix and get their buckets. They will give them to you for free, but you'll need to leave your name and number most likely.

Lowes sells the white, 5 gallon, BPA free "food grade bucket" (with lid) for $6.00.

Good to know since I never find myself in Lowes but in the other Big Box store. Thanks.
