Thanks! Just moved new cabinets into the basement. Now we have lots more room to store stuff and load it quickly into the truck if we have to bug out.

” Do you have tips on what to do (other than moving!) if you live in South Florida (like us)? “

Check out your local Historical Society - remember that people lived, and grew and stored food, in your area for millenia before electricity/refrigeration/supermarkets came along...

No sense re-inventing any wheels, after all... ;)

If this stuff is sold at walmart, then I will automatically assume that the Augason Farms products were made in china.

I did the “Vinegar and conditioner” recipe.
I had SO much static, the kitten stuck to a towel. Only kidding but it was bad. AND it was like sandpaper towels.

Now I get the big cheap bottle of Fabric softener, add three cups of vinegar to one of the softener and my clothes are soft and static free.

I’ve eliminated dryer sheets because of it. Gave the lint screen a good scrub (the chemicals build up) and the dryer works in 1/3 less time. Downy ball (the person that invented those should get a medal!) popped in at the start of the wash and it works perfectly.

canning is even easier here buy during the glut periods when each crop is coming in and can for later. With all the gardening you are already doing ratcheting up a notch to cover more of your needs won’t be a problem. Florida is also full of wild edible food as well, get a good book and find an experienced forager. There are lots of landscape plants that are also edible and groups have meetings and plant sales all over the state. Your extension office is also a valuable resource.

Those things are already made to last forever. :-) like Twinkies...

[Indy Pendance]

I need to restock.

[Indy Pendance]

No canning supplies in a rural area? You need to get on your local board. We have tons of that stuff available for us.

[Indy Pendance]

We have a dented can place near us. I really need to restock. I make my own soap. It’s amazing what you can save. We buy 1/4 cows and 1/2 pigs.

My grocery shopping bills are mostly produce. I can do shopping for under $60 a week.

It’s way less during the produce season.

>”I use vinegar. And a few drops of fabric softener. Does not smell like eggs. Or vinegar”<

How does it taste?

[tbw2]

I know the Costco near us offers this stuff.
Haven’t seen it at Sam’s Club. Not in the Walmart grocery near us, haven’t been to the big Wal-mart up the highway.

Augason Farms
Providing Quality Food Storage & Gluten Free
for 40 Years!
About Us

This year marks our 40th year as a leader in emergency preparedness. Since 1972, Augason Farms/Blue Chip Group has maintained the family-owned, high-quality, long lasting (up to 30 years) products food storage buyers have come to know and expect.

Like a master chef, Augason Farms has finely tuned the ingredients that go into each product. We produce and manufacturer our own goods and after finding the finest ingredients, these quality products are made from scratch. Just as specific foods grow during individual seasons, Augason Farms goes out, acquires the ingredients, and then uses their master blenders to create foods such as soups, sauces, gravies, drinks, entrées and an extensive assortment of bakery mixes.

Truly inspiring is that this commanding company is now into its 2nd generation of family ownership. Mark Augason, son of founder Phil Augason, is the president and leader of Augason Farms today. No conglomerates, no big corporations; just good, dependable, family leadership. But don't let that fool you because we sell all over the country, from locally owned businesses to nationwide club stores and giant retailers.

The facts speak for themselves with Augason Farms. When people think of food storage, the idea of monotonous preparations and under-flavored freeze-dried food begins to spin around in their heads. Food fatigue is a big concern which we have addressed. Taste and flavor are our passion. Specific, premium-quality ingredients are put into each of the 200+ products offered and the best part in many: just add water! Simplicity without compromising on flavor and zest is what has helped us be successful.

In addition to our piece-of-cake preparation, Augason Farms has become an innovator --thinking outside the box. Our line of gluten-free products has set a standard. Today, 1 in every 133 people has gluten intolerances. Persistent requests and a change in dietary fads led to the creation of gluten-free foods like chocolate-chip cookies, buttermilk pancakes, dried fruit, and even bacon bits. To top this, we've recently released our everyday size cans. We realize that not every family consists of five or more people and so we've tried to cater to the needs of smaller families and to those who want to use our items every day. Located in Salt Lake City, UT, we have a local outlet store permitting easy access to our foods at very reasonable prices. Over the years, a number of companies have tried to compete and duplicate a classic, but Augason Farms continues to lead the way.

40 years ago, Phil Augason started with a delicious alternative to dry milk. That idea led to the Augason Farms known today. Even now, one will still see Phil's wife, Jacquie, laboring to make sure that quality and flavor are put into every product. After 40 years, taste, quality and family are still the driving ideals.

did you use lemon sugar free kool ade? it has citric acid which cuts down on film. 2 packets unless u have hard water then 3 or 4.

[Jane Long]

Yes, and Costco also has a good variety online, as well.

[Sawdring]

Sam’s Club had a 30 food supply for $99 a couple of weeks ago.

[Jane Long]

I buy the huge jug of citric acid from Amazon for the d/w. So far, it’s lasted over a year (with half left). One Tbs. per load, about every third load. Works great on keeping glasses sparkling, with our (hard) well water.

***They still have plenty of Little Debbie concentrated sugar snacks though.***

Made not far from here. I can smell it when they cook the brownies!

Wish I was near Durango or Farmington but my worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money)lives there. I like to keep a distance. like 921 miles.
