Oh Costco, you’ve truly outdone yourself this time.
The wholesale store just figured out a way to make sure you will never run out of mac and cheese again: sell it in a 27-lb. tub.
You read that correctly, 27 lbs. That’s as much as about 100 baseballs, half a bale of hay or your average 3-year-old child.

I ordered a tuna steak at a seafood restaurant once-it was a different taste from the tuna in cans, but does not compare to salmon, shark, catfish, etc. I’ll stick with eating canned tuna-cold...
BTW food-grade buckets can (or at least used to) be purchased for $1 at WM.
Go to the bakery. They are the buckets their frosting for cakes and cupcakes comes in.
There are round ones and rectangular. The rectangular are much larger and better for storing all kinds of things. Sometimes they go quickly. You need to catch them, usually, when their are people behind the counter.
If I’m going to use rice for nutrition-especially in a survival situation, it is going to be brown rice-unmilled, it is more nutrient rich-and it actually has a taste. The local grocery has bulk brown rice for the same price as the white all the time...
Now if only someone would sell bulk saffron-the real threads-not the powdered stuff-to go with it...
If you deep freeze it and keep it frozen it will last perhaps a thousand years, like the frozen mammoths.
I have been known to take a Thanksgiving dinner plate and vacuum pack it, freeze it to break out months later. Yum, it’s as good as the day it was packed.
They do have a brown rice. It costs more, there.
I have not tried it, though.
I use the white a lot. I mix it with all kinds of stuff.
I do need to rotate some 20lb bags. I need a few spare Ziplock bags. To do it right you’d have to throw in an oxygen-eater, I suppose. I’ve had open bags (smaller) of their rice (I tie them up with twist ties I save from bread loaves). They’re just fine having been open for 4 months or so, no problem.
They also have a Basmati rice. Also more expensive. I have not tried it, either.
I appreciate your efforts.
Sometimes I skim the articles a little too fast myself.
I keep that as a reminder to myself, too. LOLOL
I sometimes use the Basmati rice-especially for saffron rice-the Texas-grown brand-Texmati-has a nice aroma and taste-and is reasonable priced-they have brown rice and Jasmine rice, too-all nutritious, cook from scratch-no instant...
Sounds nice. These days I pretty much have to go cheapest on everything. And be happy about it.
Still, I found the WM, per lb much cheaper than CostCo. Used to be CostCo and Sam’s Club were 30 cents a gallon cheaper than anyone around here. Now it’s like 3 cents. At 30 cents a gallon I could have justified a membership on the gas no problem. Right now I can no longer do that.
Glad you’ve got that stuff working for ya. Sounds like you’ve got it down to a science.
LOL
Actually, during the recession the government folks would joke about the fly-over people needing to look for all their spare change.
Maybe the government folks need to look beneath their own couch pillows!

on Gasoline that is.
Article?
Read it?
What the dickens are you talking about?
Reading an article before commenting?
Why, that's just...wrong.
Everybody knows that.
From a disaster prep perspective, this is an excellent buy.
You get about 20 times 2000 calories for $90. If all of your prep food was at this cost, you would only need $4.50 / day to maintain a 2000 calorie per day diet.
I’m with you. Not a mac and cheese guy at all.
Thanks for the review, I’ve never had any desire to try it anyway, but will still occasionally eat a can of cold tuna.
