I LO...Oh, I didn't get to this one right away. I LOVE bulk buying! Things we buy in bulk- Oatmeal- from the Amish store (Stringtown Grocery), flours (whole wheat- coarse and fine and multigrain), rice (In fact, I bought 10 lbs of rice this afternoon) and dried beans- usually pintos and black beans. I have in stock from the garden or my parents farm: corn, ready to be ground for cornmeal and wheat. <br />I agree, the things you store in bulk need to be things you will actually eat. It's no good to have food that no one will eat. <br />We bought a side of beef from an Amish farmer this spring- this was our second in three years- it takes us over a year and a half to eat that much beef. I've got lots of soup bones in the freezer so I think some will be simmering away tomorrow.<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.com
