LDS Starter Kit

On one the preparedness forums I am on we were discussing the LDS starter kit.

You get 6 #10 cans of staples for $31 (plus tax if app - free shipping it broke down to 5.17 a can)

The cans were as follows:

1 hard red wheat - 5.5lbs (case of 6#10 cans $28 or 4.66 a can )
1 hard white wheat 5.5lbs (case of 6 #10 cans $30 or $5 a can)
1 pinto beans 5.2lbs (case of 6 #10 cans $40.75 or 6.79 a can)
1 quick oats 2.4lbs (case of 6 #10 cans $21.25 or 3.54 a can)
1 white flour 4.0 lbs (case of 6 #10 cans $32.00 or 5.33 a can)
1 white rice 5.4 lbs (case of 6 #10 cans $30.75 or 5.13 a can)

Hubby and I were discussing the cost tonight and have decided that it would be cheaper for us to order the 6 cans of wheat for $28 than ordering from else where. I dont' have to pay shipping. The only draw back is these are the only items you can order on line if you want to take advantage of the low prices you have to go into the canneries but the closest one is 4-5 hours away. It would have to be an overnight trip for us especially if we went there and used their facilities to can our purchaes. We are not LDS but I think I am going to order a few cases from them. It took just over a week for the order to be processed and received. It was shipped via FedEx.

Just the quick oats alone are $47.09 at Honeyville and $6.50 for a 38oz can at EE ($39 for 6 #10 cans). A superpail at EE is cheaper but to my understanding you have to order so many superpails at a time. In addition there will be shipping charges.

Just thought I would share.
