VANITY - Best place to buy bulk food?

[glock rocks]

LOL. A hometown tradition. Naw, the Tide’s goin down!

[tubebender]

I had FRiends work the docks of Humboldt Bay. Wanna buy a D8...

[glock rocks]

Yes.

Here's a handy little planning guide. I think it is from the LDS folks: Link

[Pete-R-Bilt]

look in your phone book and find the food service providers for a 100 mile radius.

lots of the companies I deliver to in California are willing to sell retail and may give you some breaks on purchases be warned though most sell canned goods in #10 cans so there's some repackaging to deal with on some items...

OTOH if you have a freezer to fill or stg buckets you may save some serious coin on 50 lb'rs of beans and such or case prices on most any cuts of meats

[glock rocks]

Amen. It’s especially a good thing if you actually eat beans and rice, as we do... You have to cycle through your food storage, or you’ll end up eating outdated stuff when you really need quality... just a thought.

Dried or canned meats can make beans and rice much more tasty too, though expensive...

Utah 28, Alabama 17.... Go Utes!

[kc8ukw]

Well, you have to buy in quantity.

Actually, I think our local Whole Foods is just slightly cheaper, but it's just easy to have a 50 pound bucket show up on your doorstep.

[tubebender]

If you have a FRiend in the restaurant business talk to him about buying for you. I'm not stocking up because I have Freeper FRiends doing it for me. All I need is a GPS to find them..

[Pete-R-Bilt]

just wide, they’re sucking tonight

bookies gotta be bitin nails about now...

utes are spos’ed to be down by 10

[glock rocks]

You can run 2150 feet per second, yes?

[Pete-R-Bilt]

and to be ready to go east on a Wednesday night!

[PinkChampagneonIce]

LOL. In the VERY rural area in which I live, my local “food service provider” is Bubba, when and if he decides to slaughter one of his hogs! I kid you not. And I like it that way.

[glock rocks]

Utah is playing the same way they’ve played all season. That’s a hint to Tork that they’re undefeated. LOL.

[tubebender]

Well Alabama has better looking band uniforms...

[Pete-R-Bilt]

that works too!

I'm getting ready to buy another cow for our freezer

and I see you're in OK

I'm known round the 7 western states as the Bacon man cause of the company I haul to Cal for, a 175 mil a year outfit and they buy their pork bellies out of Guyman, I trust you know where that is.

it's all in doing the homework...

[glock rocks]

That they do.

[PinkChampagneonIce]

Never been to Guymon, but I see it’s in the OK Panhandle. That’s even less interesting than the adjacent TX Panhandle, which is about as uninteresting as any place I’ve ever frequently driven through (and just about anything interests me). Seems like a really good location for procuring hog bellies.

I transplanted myself to OK from Southern California six years ago, and am still in an extended adjustment phase. Still adjusting, but the longer I’m here, the more I like it!

[Pete-R-Bilt]

no doubt!

[PinkChampagneonIce]

Thanks, everyone, for all your kind information. It’s time for me to toddle off to bed, but I’ll check back tomorrow in case there are any more relevant posts (not that I didn’t enjoy the ones about something called “Utes,” and hog bellies!

Next time you are at your local Wal-Mart go to the bakery area ask them if they have any empty 5 gal and 2 gal. plastic pails. They get their icings and other stuff in these pails and they just throw them away after they are empty. These are food grade pails with a gasket seal in he lid.

Good suggestion. Thanks.
