Got my First Shipment From the LDS

[Buddha]

And I'm impressed! Spent $100 on some white rice, pinto beans, and quick oats, free shipping. Said it should arrive in 2-3 weeks and it's here in 4 business days. I come home to find 100lbs of food sitting at my door. And get this, the #10 cans of each of the items I ordered have at least a 30 year shelf life.

I have not been big into food preps. I live alone, and shelf lives concern me. I don't want to sit here and wish that the SWHTF in the next couple years just so I wont have to start chipping away at 30 pounds of rice and beans etc. (buy what you already eat, I know I know) when there is no need. This is great however.

What are your experiences with these guys. Any other prep tips would be helpful too, I know that we have some veterans here :)

Are they still selling "enriched" white rice? I hope they have wised up by now.

I used to go to the local storehouse and participate in the "can-your-own" process. It's great fun, you meet some interesting people and the prices are unbelievable. Only problem is I reached a point of not needing to do that anymore.
