Great Prices on Bulk Wheat

If you are interested in ordering wheat, my sister just told me about a great deal! Her friend is placing an order for 45 lb. wheat buckets (white or red) for 16.50 each. That is much less then Costco, Walmart, Lehi Roller Mills, and other places I have bought from before. I've been out of town and just found out tonight, so I will need to know tomorrow- Monday, May 18th, if you would like to order. I don't need the money, just let me know if you would like to purchase some. If you have any questions, just email me. Thanks!! Jill ** Wheat isn't something that we've talked about yet, and if you have a limited budget you should really focus on getting your 3 month supply of the food's your family regularly eats first. But this is a great price and great opportunity and convenient way for you to store up on wheat. It is an essential thing to store. Remember- wheat is just flour! You grind wheat into flour, whole wheat flour ofcourse, but it is flour nonetheless, which you need a lot of. Wheat is cheap, easy to store, sustains life, provides your body with many vitamins to sustain life, and has a long shelf life- you don't even need to worry about it right now- just get it first!! **

You are supposed to have 300 lbs. of grains per person for a whole years supply. I know- that sounds like a ton!! So for a family of 5 you would need 1500 lbs. of grains. But that isn't all supposed to be just wheat. I've copied a chart I found on another website that has an example of how you might want to diversify that 300 lbs. of grains to have a better variety. You can do what is shown there, or change it depending on what your family likes to eat. Based on this chart it has 100 lbs. of wheat per person per year, so that would be about 2 buckets per person. So for your whole family- 10 buckets. (ofcourse your kids are little and definitely don't count as an adult- these numbers are for adults, so children would need much less. But I just like to count my kids as adults because they grow so quickly and I don't want to have to worry about it in 5 or 10 years that they will need more, but I am kind of on the crazy side and like to have lots of food stored!) So I would reccomend getting whatever you can afford right now. I really don't think you could have too much of it, and it lasts for so long that you don't even have to worry about rotating it right now. I have both the hard red wheat and the hard white wheat. I'm not sure if you're familiar with either, but I like using the hard white wheat for making bread. I've heard people like the taste of the red wheat if they are actually eating the wheat- like for cracked wheat cereal. Hopefully this helps and isn't way overwhelming! Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to order some.
