My prep purchase of the week: bulk spices at $6-$10 a pound online (much cheaper per pound for 25 pounds, but that’s A LOT of garlic powder). For about twice the price of grocery store spices in their cute bottles, I can get enough to last through several years. I store them in a cool, dark, dry place and refill the cute little bottles as needed. I just replaced a dozen spices that were running low after quite a few years.

"but that’s A LOT of garlic powder"

Next week bulk Mouth Wash? I mean I know you are getting ready for SHTF, but I say we draw the line I chemical/bio weapons! ;-)

Besides mouth wash's alcohol content makes it a good barter item.

You can never, ever, have too much garlic!
