i have lots of 5gal food service buckets, with double seal lids, keep various grains, beans, honey,pollen, dried fruits, water.  i buy from the wholesaler so most are 50lb or 25lb, 15$  ( like 50lbs organic oats $25, 25lb most beans 16-20$,) i feel this is a better way as you can spit things with people, now, if you cannot get wholesale, ask at your health store they will order any bulk amount and just add 15/25%,  but prices steep, and comes with no water, or they have same containers the big blue ones you can get over the counter, for half the price.  but for convenience it looks all there, and compares to other food sites.  I'm however on a budget.

most canned items last much longer then the cans say, buy number 10 cans to save,

I like that idea - I think I am going to go that way - 

5 gallon service buckets seem much more practical - 

thank you!

I get brand new, food grade buckets, this place throws out 20/5 every 2 weeks, aloe Vera came in them, marked for food use those buckets, the cheap ones tops just snap on these you have to beat on and there is large rubber seal, ask around or dumpster dive, all food places get tons off food in them and toss them

What are the ingredients in these freeze dried foods? I've always wondered that.

For Example - 

THRIVE Sliced Chicken is made from strips of whole chicken breasts that have been freeze-dried to lock in the fresh taste and nutrients for years to come. Each carefully sealed can of THRIVE Sliced Chicken will last for up to twenty-five so it is ideal for both daily use and long-term storage. THRIVE Sliced Chicken is cut into strips that are just the right size for using in fajitas, salads, pasta, and all your other favorite recipes.

The actual contents: Chicken, sodium phosphate, salt, and carrageenan.
