I have to order it online.
I’ve asked for it at a few stores here in the south and get looked at like I have two heads.
As far as I know the B&M cannery in Portland Maine is the only place in the world that makes it.

Oats are highly nutritious for a grain and do not pack on pounds like wheat does. Not so much for vitamins but for minerals, they seem to be the best grain.

They can be had relatively cheap at Sam’s or BJ’s or some bulk store.

Rice in airtight containers lasts a lot longer than 6 months. So does lentils, hard corn, and wheat.

Wheat can be ground into flour; rice and lentils eaten together gives you all the proteins you need. Hard corn lasts a long time appropriately stored; it can be ground into cornmeal. Now add things like salt, pepper, spices ( you can get them at Sams in bulk for practically nothing) and you have the basis for plenty of practical meals.

Don’t forget things like fuel and vegetable oil. Crisco stores pretty well, keep other oils cool and out of the light to minimize breakdown/oxidation.

The oilI get for long term storage is Berio Olive Oil in the can.

The can is a better seal than plastic bottles.

What about bagged white rice?

Thought that kept literally forever?

I bought 1/2 gallon canning jars at Wal-Mart and put pasta and nuts in them and vacuum sealed them.

There are attachments that you can get for vacuum sealing that goes over the mouth of the jar and seals it.

Without oxygen, and in a cool dark place, you can extend shelf life a lot.

Also, when you buy your stuff, check the expiration dates.

I was surprised to see bags of Nestle’s chocolate chips dated for two years out, in the bag.

Nuts, too.

The cheapest things to stock up on are the things you can produce and/or obtain for free. Gardening is a skill that takes time to develop, but can provide an impressive amount of food. If you save your own seeds, it becomes even more affordable.

Some things you can grow need canning, freezing, or dehydrating in order to preserve them, but others can be stored for long periods just stacked up in an out-of-the-way spot. Look for things like potatoes or winter squash that are described as good keepers. Each variety is different, and some keep better than others. There are also things like pinto beans or flint corn that are dried as part of the harvesting process, they can be stored the same as store-bought dry beans or corn.

Check your area’s hunting and trapping regulations, chances are there’s something you can harvest without too much expense. In Wisconsin for example, a landowner can hunt or trap rabbits and squirrels on their own property, without even needing a license. The meat would need to be preserved, but it’s still cheap meat.

I know a few people who raise their own meat. There are expensive ways to do that, and there are inexpensive ways to do it. The hows of that would take too long to post here, but if that’s something you’re interested in I recommend researching on your own. I’ve even heard of people raising quail on the balcony of their apartment.

It depends on how much more.

Your body can store it for years, but you eventually go through it.

The USRDA is only the minimum to avoid the symptoms of deficiency, not the optimal amount for health.

The key is finding that spot between just barely enough, and a toxic dose level.

Get a Sam’s size bag of popcorn.

Don’t forget the salt though, and butter.

Butter lasts almost indefinitely in the freezer. I hear it’s possible to can it but had never done so myself.
