2016 Discounted Group Food Storage Order
It's that time of year again! Take advantage of some of the best food storage deals of the year by participating in our discounted group food storage order.
How does it work?
Companies will often times have large food storage packages available at amazing prices. The incentive is for people to purchase everything at once, and save a bundle of money. The down side is that most people don't have the means necessary to purchase everything they want all at once. That's where the group deal comes in.
I organize a group of interested people, and we all take advantage of these deals by purchasing together. This way,everyone gets the sale prices without having to buy more or spend more than what they need.
(For example, if you were to buy 1 can of freeze dried turkey dices, they run for about $75! However, If you are willing to purchase this item in a package, each can is available for $36. That's over 50% off!)

When to Stock up on Food Storage Staples - Grocery Sale Cycles
The best way to build a storage of any kind is to buy in bulk when items go on sale. This is particularly true for everyday groceries, but applies to food storage as well.
On average, grocery stores cycle through items by having a sale on them about every 12 weeks, but there are monthly sales that take place as well.
This post is specifically written for Utah and surrounding areas, as it details fruit production and harvest times, but the overall concept in terms of groceries should remain relatively the same wherever you live.
January:
Grocery Sales
Diet foods and weight loss products
January is National Oatmeal Month
National Soup Month

September:

Case Lot Sales
September is always a big case lot sale month for most large grocery stores: Macey's, Ridley's, Kohlers, Smiths, etc. I always find that Macey's has the best prices paired with variety. This month is usually the best to stock up on the following:
Water Containers: 55 gallon barrels, 5 gallon drums, water bottles, etc.

Canned Beans: black, pinto, kidney, refried, great northern, etc.

All of these items can be found in bulk for very good prices. If you are concerned about extending the shelf life of bagged items, you can store them in buckets, or purchase from other locations. If long term storage is more your thing, check out the following:
