Buying in bulk and storing it? « SCM Discussion Forum: Charlotte ...
So I love buying in bulk and for the most part my favoirte place to do so it Azure Standard. You save so much money and then it's just on hand which might be my personal favorite part.
Where else do you like to buy in bulk and what do you buy?
Do you think buying wheat berries and grinding saves verse's buying the flour?
What do you use to store your items in? Like flour I'm using new 5 gallon buckets from Menards! But I can't seem to find a good fit for beans, & spices (this cabinet falls out at me AHHH).
My local co-op is nice and all but they don't give a good deal compared to buying straight from someone. Here are some things I'd like to buy in bulk more rice(large quantities), vanilla beans, and olives (we love to snack on these and so healthy).
Thanks Misty
Misty,
We buy bulk of some items (grains, rice, beans, flax seed) I just recieved my first order of vanilla beans which I have stored unopened in my desk drawer ;)
I do not recommend grinding your grain until you are ready to use it, or grind small extra amounts and store in the freezer, to retain nutritional benefits. We just have 2 shelves of large buckets that we store food in. We actually need about 2 more, but don't have room. Right now our bag of pinto beans is rolled up and on a shelf. Rice is in large plastic jugs (I'm working on replacing with glass) in a cabinet. Flax Seed is in large mason jars on the back of a shelf.
When we remodel our kitchen this winter I am hoping to find a design for a spice cabinet that will hold all of our daughter's herbal harvests and also the spices we buy.
I agree buying bulk has many benefits, but it is a challenge finding a place to store the food, and to make it easily accessiable.
:)
I use the buckets and gamma lids you can order from Azure.
