It's June 18th 2009 and today I spotted 50 pound bags of white spring wheat at Walmart for $16.00. That's only slightly higher than the LDS Cannery/Home Storage Center's price of $7.40 per 25-pound bag.
Quick math: Walmart's price is currently $1.20 more per 50 pounds than the LDS Cannery.
Of course I bought ANOTHER bag. Shush, don't tell Dave. I'll just slip it into the storage room and he'll never know.
Some people collect stamps. I collect wheat. You should too 'cause you can't eat stamps!
(There is nothing that makes me giddier than buying bulk food. It's been a good day :-)
Oh, and one more thing.... Walmart doesn't always have this product, so if you want it, get it now. Even the LDS Cannery sometimes runs out of it, too.
