  • Gladius_Veritatis mentioned in another thread having ordered from a particular website, and I saw that he had received his order.

    I was hoping that this thread could be used to recommend various sites, to bring up various sales (deals), and to rate the companies out there.

    So, to begin, do you have some thoughts on your recent purchase experience, GV?

  • Sure, mate.  I got some good products at a fair price, all delivered to my door (something not to be overlooked when one is very busy).  Some of the products I purchased are of a very high quality, while others are more than suitable.  I also noticed an ad in the paper last week about 1/2-price chili.  I went to the store and bought over 200 cans.  I went to multiple locations, so as not to be TOO obvious.  I priced items at Costco, too, and I will be going back soon to get some more beans, rice, etc.

    The site http://www.efoodsdirect.com also looks pretty good, and I may be getting some stuff from them in the very near future.  I was pleased enough with bulkfoods to order again today.  I did not get one out-of-stock item in my shipment, but I can, if I choose, reorder an item almost identical.  I will need to repackage everything for my purposes, but that is a negligible expense.  The site listed at the beginning of this paragraph likely eliminates such a need, at least in part.  They also pay a good bit toward a Berkey water filter.

    As of today, there have been recent riots, resulting from food matters, in some 34 countries.

    In addition to food, I would get some basic gear - and do not skimp on gloves, shoes, etc.  It may cost more to get the best (deals can be found, especially as it is now spring), but you will be much happier.  I worked outside in ALL conditions for a few years, and good boots and gloves made ALL the difference.  Cold hands/feet means being miserable and far less capable of doing what needs to be done.

  • Btw, I put it on my card.  Imo, if that is the only path you have, TAKE IT.  Do not hesitate because you lack the cash.

  • GV:  Any further thoughts on either BulkFoods or other companies?  Did you place any other recent orders?  Are you storing everything away?  Did you taste any of the products?

    Everyone else:  Are any of you buying bulk stuff?  Or are you planning on just growing your own food when the climate turns South...?

  • I tasted some of it, and it is very good.  The only part I have not liked so far is that when they do not have an item, you do not learn about it until the shipment arrives - i.e., it does not tell you about it online at the time of ordering.  So far, both times I ordered 6-8 items, receiving one less than I ordered (I was not charged for the missing/unavailable item).

  • Someone shared this link, so I thought I'd pass it on to everyone here:

    http://www7.mailordercentral.com/longlifefood/products.asp?dept=1029

    Long Life Food Depot is having a 50% sale on all of their MRE trays.  If you don't mind eating MREs, this may be a good option for you.  The price seems somewhat decent.

    What does everyone think?
