FOOD Good Mail Order Food

[RCSAR]

I thought I would start a post on just great tasting food for storage.
I do not work for or make a penny off these folks
Really I'm a 10+ year customer and love the products both for taste and storage.

I love the Chicken Noodle Soup from this place in Canada!

http://www.ed-foods.com/onlineorders_soup.html
Classic Chicken Noodle
Old fashioned comfort food - made just perfect
» $4.50 pouch serve 4
» $13.50 bags serve 17 (about a gallon and a half or 168 ozs)

Try the large size (serves 17 the smallers sizes taste different)
It says cook 20 minutes but it can be on the stove all day. The flavor is fantastic and I toss in leftovers or my own dehydrated vegies when I have some but it is great as is! You can add pasta and stuff along with a few tablespoons of dried chicken stock and make 2 or 3 gallons if need be.

I buy this product because I can strech it with rice or add more pasta.
This is a quality over great price thing but the price does work out nice anyway. The bags are vac packed foil/mylar and store very well. I just made a big pot of soup from my stores bought in 1998 and it great. (stored in dark box at room temp about 10 years might go another 10 years as I see no differenve in taste or quality)

They also make smaller single serving packs of instant but I like the regular better. (hahah I looked and they still sell the Y2K Sampler . The small single serve packs get tossed into out BOBs.

This site sells some of the best chocolate I have ever had. I shave the 70% cocoa bars to top my chocolate cakes.

On a special diet? They have stuff marked and sorted low salt or low fat and you can search by those requirements. They make a Vegan Chili and other vegan products but I never did like any vegan stuff.

They will sell up to 20 Kilogram tubs or small single serving packs.
They are open to bulk buys and will even put your company name on the packs. ASk them about sampler packs as they will sometime toss them in free if its a large order. I think they still have free shipping oner $30 but I'm not sure.

Test results: pre y2k purchases.
The Chicken noodle 17 serving bags store and taste great!
The Alfredo sauce is good too.
The 100% pure maple candy got hard but is still good.


Please add to this list of quality products for storage.

Honeyville's Quick Oats

Great product when all you need is boiled water!
I buy it in the 50 pound bags and fill large 1.5 gallon containers with it for daily use. The rest goes into a 15 or 30 gallon blue barrel with some O2 absorbers.

Never had a bug problem and I think the shipping is flat rate.

http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/shippingpolicy.aspx

You can add as many items as you'd like to your cart and still be charged just $4.49 for ground delivery anywhere in the contiguous United States.

I've bought from them...really like the chicken noodle soup but what I think is the best is the single serve soups! I give them to the elderly in my church at xmas...They love them!

RCSAR - I have to second your recommendation. I have ordered from them in the past and been very happy with their soups. I think I should place another order soon - thanks for the reminder!

Please post leads on any other good storage food sources.
Let's avoid the mountian house type stuff and go with the lesser known sources.

Test reports are encouraged if possible.

Thanks, RCSAR. I have bookmarked the site. Always good to have more food sources noted. There has been some unavailability of #10 cans, at times.

Neat site. Didn't have it on my list. Thanks.

The granola sold by Emergency Essentials is some of the best granola we've ever eaten . . .

DW keeps having to order more cases of it because they somehow, uh, keep disappearing.

 

[Nuthatch]

well, somebody has to rotate the preps!

I forgot to mention that two of my purchases this past year were for favorite foods from Amazon of all places. I got 25 pounds of Arborio rice (the kind used for risotto) for $25, a great deal compared to my local prices. And my favorit Genova Tonno tuna, made by Chicken of the Sea for almost half the local price and free shipping with a case purchase.

So if you eat only Jif peanut butter or whatever, consider buying it by the case. You might be able to get it home delivered as well for little or no extra cost.

Chipster, I can also recommend the MRE's sold by Emergency Essentials. Fast delivery, too. Of course, MRE's are not like fine dining, but they will taste like filet mignon when TSHTF. Not all MRE sources seem to be created equally. EE is a step above....
