Salt, flour, corn-meal, TP, canned meats, PB, chocolate, tobacco, booze.

A shopping list/rations list from the 1860s is very enlightening.

Oh, and yeast. Sams has 2 lbs for about the same price as 4 oz in the grocery store.

Best performer I’ve found & best price, too. I bake. A lot. See my tag line. :)

I make my own bread and buy the 25 pond bags at Sams, King Aurthur is twice the Price and the end product is the same. Rye, Whole Wheat, and Barley are difficult to buy in bulk but the quality between brands is minor in my experience.
