I bought some superpails packed for long term storage from Emergency Essentials. But...I don’t want to break into those to make bread for next week ;) I’ll look into Walton Feed to get just a bag for every day use. How long would wheat berries last in a bag? And do you put them in another container when you get them?
I just found out that Winco has some in their bulk section for $.87 a pound. I could do that as well. They may have been there a while...

That is the real problem, how long were they in the warehouse.
But for only a couple pounds, Winco would be the best buy.
The store employees will not know how old they are.
Wheat berries keep well, but take them and seal them in jars or even your coffee cans, [now plastic] or a good pail with a tight lid, the bag is not the best way to store any grain for a long time.
I also like the rolled oats and brown sugar from Walton’s, LOL, I have never gotten anything from them that I didn’t like.
I buy from them in large orders, so the pounds will throw me into a lower shipping weight cost, they have a chart.
For me, it was cheaper to order my everyday needs from Walton and pay UPS shipping then it is to shop in Kingman supermarkets and now I am finding that the Kingman food does not store, flour is useless in 3 months from Kingman.
When I use the coffee containers for storage, I lay a plastic sandwich bag across the top and add the lid, seals it tighter.
If one is storing grains, then add a couple Bay leaves to keep the bugs out.
