Good if you want to stock up, and unless you are brand loyal to S & W (which is a good brand) beats the Fred Meyer price. Thanks for the tip, Tiamat! I did already get 20 S&W, I'm pretty loyal. Mabe I should get some Santiam whole tomatoes, eh? So, now, do I use the stuff I bought, or save them for later. Rotate, rotate, rotate

Tiamat....
I was looking at organic food on Amazon; I have Prime until the 20th (you get it free for a month when you buy a Kindle). They sell that Texmatic long grain brown rice in 36 oz plastic jars, 4 of them. I would get free two day shipping. So, with this freezing thing you suggest....would I just put the containers in the freezer for a couple days and then move them to a cupboard? Thanks!

If the dry goods seem to be sitting on the shelf a while, unused, I refreeze them, because I get those annoying little moths that seem to be able to chew right through boxes and bags and get in to them. I decant a lot of stuff into jars though. AFTER freezing them. A lot of people grocery shop on amazon.

The pie berries will occupy all of the freezer. I'll juice gallons, but canned pie filling doesn't really satisfy. Maybe it's time to look at a locker. Either that, or I have to can the salmon, too. In a few months, I'll fall down in the recliner, and the alarm will go off. To let me know another summer got past me.

Flour, sugar, cereal, rice, etc. were put into containers immediately. If I found weevils in my flour, I tossed it out and bought a new bag. My British friend who spent many years in Africa thought that was funny. She froze hers and sifted out the weevils afterwards.

Yep, I'm ordering this today. I'll get four of these 36oz containers. That's a lot of rice for a basically two person household...and it's already in a sealed container!
Thanks, Tiamat! |
