Wife and I were at Sam's Club the other day, and they had 6 gallon plastic buckets (45 pounds) of whole grain hard winter white wheat for $17.88. Two buckets followed us home.

For anyone interested in long term storage of food, if kept cool and dry, 30 year shelf life for whole grain hard wheat is easily obtained. Once cracked or milled, it has to be used fairly soon or the released oils will oxidize and turn it rancid.

We don't use it for breads etc. just hot cracked wheat cereal. Easy to prepare the overnight way and love the nutty flavor. We have used both hard red and white wheat, slightly different flavors, but both are great.

We have had our old style SS Vita-Mix for about 20 years, and it is still as good as the day we bought it. But any good similar unit should suffice.

Really?

That seems like a good deal.

I’ll see if Costco has something like that.

If they do I’ll buy 5.
