Looks decent to me...and the shipping is hard to beat, $4.49 for the entire order, no matter how big. Honeyville must have changed their business model, they used to have cheap grain prices and high shipping rate. Overall, it looks like a better way to buy bulk than before.

Honeyville obviously builds their shipping into their prices. I used to be lucky enough to live close to a honeyville brick and mortar store. That was the most awesome thing EVER! Cheap grain AND no shipping.

For example, online red wheat 50lbs is $43, in their brick and mortar store it was $13. Its clear that they build the shipping into the prices online, but shipping something that heavy is going to be expensive if you have to get it shipped.

Also, freeze dried meat always looks expensive to me, but that price seems reasonable with all the other prices of freeze dried meat I've seen. I decided to rely on beans for my post-shtf protein because I can't afford to stash meat. The meat we have will have to be whatever I'm able to hunt/catch/trap, hopefully. For the price of that meat you could put up like 150# of beans. But if you're already covered there, and want a little variety then have at it!

I got $1500 worth from them. This will supplement my normal grocery cans I have. Kind of high in price, but I have a house paid for and zero debt.
