Here’s a good list of dry bulk foods which can be purchased from the LDS sect (which has warehouses in every major city for same day purchase/pickup).

A lot of these products have 30 year shelf lives if stored properly (food grade bucket/lid, Mylar bag sealed with hot iron, and oxygen absorbers added inside Mylar bag, stored in temp controlled environment), including dry milk.

Hmm...looks like they moved away from the 50lb bags I used to buy 10 years ago, to mostly cans.  That will save you money from having to buy all the buckets, lids, oxygen absorbers, and Mylar bags (as well as all the work involved), but prices are quite a bit higher, pound for pound.

Sean, don’t you have any other choice than those so-called latter day saints for supplies?

Is there an issue buying products from them?

Well, yes and no:
Yes, there are plenty of companies online which I order various equipment and supplies from, but when it comes to bulk food (ie., 50 lb bags of flour, milk, pinto beans, wheat, etc), you would get clobbered from shipping costs if I were to order 500lbs of food, whereas the sect is local for pickup.
I see what you are getting at (giving my money to a sect helps them, however incrementally), but I guess I never dwelled on it much until you made me think about it.  
Hmm.

Hmm.
It's not like funding the LDS is much worse than funding some company that probably celebrates "pride month" and pays for its employees' birth control.
