I was able to catch 50 one gallon mylar bags with oxygen absorbers on sale at amazon for $13 so I ordered them.
I have been using vacuum sealed foodsaver bags placed in 5 gallon buckets, but the oxygen absorbers and mylar are generally rated with a longer shelf life, so I'm planning on trying to put some more food up for the winter because at this elevation, sometimes gets pretty hairy to drive on some of these roads when we get a lot of snow.
White rice, Oatmeal, dried soup beans, Non-Iodinized salt, white sugar, instant coffee, raw/dried pasta and many other dry goods have excess of 20 year shelf life if done right.
Anyone else know any other food item that would be good for long term to store in the bags?
Does self rising flour, corn meal, pancake mix, etc store as well?
powdered milk or eggs or ??????
