    Jonesy - if you want salt - go to the Asian market at Ifliff and Hampden. They have (or at least had) 50 lbs bags for cheap. A great source anyway for all kinds of "stuff".

    Went here again today. This place is sweet. I wont be going to the regular Costco anymore. The Business center has no crowds, 95% of the items I normally get at Costco and lots more that the regular costco doesn't carry.

    Example - thick nitrile gloves. $13.99/100

    Colorado Springs now has a Shamrock FSW (food service warehouse).
    It opened last Tuesday in the old Office Depot/ Social Security building on the NE corner of Galley and Academy.

    ^^^
    Costco business center is A LOT less expensive on similar items. I wen to both last week and was shocked on how much more Shamrock was. I actually won’t be going back.

    The Business Center reminds me a LOT of how Sam's Club was in the early days. Real discounts on real bulk items, without a million people and their 7 million kids doing their grocery shopping.

    Fine, what's the shelf life of an opened 5 gallon container of soy sauce? (in decades, not years).

    I don't know about that, but I can remember buying kikkoman in one gal metal cans and Frank's in one gal glass bottles.

    One of the opened cans of soy got "misplaced" at the back of the wrong shelf, and wasn't discovered for about 2.5 - 3 years.

    It had gotten a fair amount stronger due to some evap, but there was no growth of anything strange, or even leakage from the can. Try as I may to convince momma it was fine to use, even after decanting to a clear glass jar and cutting can top for inspection, I only got to use about 2 cups before she threw it away.

    YMMV, especially in a plastic 5g bucket. ;-)

    ETA: We don't use nearly enough of either of the above to justify buying those quantities any more.

    Well, maybe the soy still...

    I have a 2 gallon plastic jug of Franks that I've been working on for at least a year. Might even be my second one.

    Are you supposed to refrigerate Sriracha? The one I keep in my pantry is the color of maple syrup.
