First post.
I'd suggest you check out the local Mormons"Bishop's Pantry" on Meridian just South of Will Roger's Int Airport and no, you don't have to be Mormon. You can buy long term stores in #10 cans they can locally or order through them and when your order arrives they even have a couple of portable #10 cankers they loan out plus a little training at no charge. They also stock #10 cans, lids, oxy absorbers, labels and boxes as you need. I suppose if you already had some stock they would loan out a canner anyway.
Aldi's is a good source for canned beans with a 2.5 - 3 year shelf life dates and of course they are still good for another 2+ years. They also have some good prices on canned meats. Raise a garden canning the produce will last 3 + years as will meats. Use a dehydrator and that will store for several years and allow you to re-use those old canning lids. Just remember, prices are important but shelf life is more so.
