    I got there a little after noon and we did some of the canning. 4 cans of white rice(23 lbs), 4 cans of pinto beans (21 lbs), 8 cans of dried apple slices (8 lbs), 1 prepackaged pancake mix and 1 prepackaged potatoes. We did the rice and beans in the canning room, really easy after the first couple and they watch to make sure you're doing things right. Total out the door was 86.10. We'll be heading back next month to can some wheat, drink mix and cocoa. I'm mixing in MRE's, Wise food buckets and the LDS cans to keep as much variety as possible. Definitely a good place to pick up long term foods.

    I'll probably pick up some mylar and dessicant packs for some home preservation. I still have some hop pellets and I can get more malted barley and use my vacuum sealer here at home.

    I probably was holding the door for you at that same time. LOL. Several people came in the same time my wife and I did, we toured the canning room. I'll be going back to package up some items.

    Dave They have so items already prepackaged just look at the bottom left hand corner of the order form it shows what they have so when you get there no need to do any canning just tell them who much you need makes it really quick to get in and out

    It's better to can your own. The prepackaged cans are done by weight while the can your own are by volume. It isn't much of a difference per can, but it adds up with multiple cans.

    Interesting and good to know. Never knew the Mormons were big preppers.

    Mormons have been encouraged for decades by church leaders to have 1 years worth of food on hand in case of emergencies. Self reliance is a central principle to the religion.

    Yep, don't know much about them or the religion. Well, except Big Love and the Southpark episode and I wouldn't call that a fair portrayal, heh.

    Haha, you're probably not in the minority. Neither of those shows are even close from what I've heard (I don't watch either). Just had a cup of good "Mormon" hot chocolate - hmmmmmm.
