Went to LDS storehouse today

[okietom]

I am LDS and I don't know very much about the store house. I DO know that the LDS church started "prepping" way before it was considered "prepping". A 72 hour emergency kit has been advocated for many years. It is now going mainstream. The food storage plans of the LDS church has a long history.

I also know that the workers there are not exactly volunteers. They have been asked by church leadership to do that work. It is their church "calling" which is supposed to strengthen their faith.

Some brownies would be welcome. If you would ask them about the church it would get them excited. You could ask about why and when the church started "prepping". It would be interesting for both of you.

Almost everything they sell comes in #10 cans already sealed and ready to go and is any where from 1/4 to 1/2 the price of sites like honeyville. Here's what we picked up, potato flakes, powdered milk, white rice, pinto beans, red wheat, white wheat, apple slices, macaroni noodles and spaghetti a bites. In large bags that I'll have to seal up we got dehydrated carrots, onions and white beans. They also have black beans and pinto beans, but were sold out. To give you an idea on the price, the black beans were $.60 a lb and wal mart they're $1.87 a lb.

They also have an online store. It's limited but there are a few items there. I haven't ordered from them myself but I've heard nothing but good things about it. http://store.lds.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category3_715839595_10557_3074457345616706237_-1_N_image_0

On a side note, if you are needing wheat this is the best deal I've seen going right now. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Augason-Farms-Emergency-Food-Hard-White-Wheat-26-lb/22001478
If you order over $50 it's free shipping too.

The online LSD store is quite a bit more expensive than the physical store.

Just ran the numbers on the wheat, Walmart is $.54 a lb, i paid LDS $.55 a pound. Benefit of LDS though is its in the #10 cans.

Ahhhh ... see?? That's how rumors get started ... thanks for setting me straight.

GC would threaten to beat me severely about the head and shoulders but I would ask them about the church even if you hadn't prompted me to. I'm no scholar by any stretch of the imagination but I do like to visit with most folks about what interests them and why they do the things they do. Never know what you might learn.

Now that you've posted here it seems like we've had an LDS thread here before and you posted in it also. My memory-foo is not good this morning -- yet ... lol

I remember when I was an active LDS they said we should have a 1 year supply of food. That's a lot of food. When we moved from Ketchikan I think I left the new owners of our house 10 5-gallon buckets of wheat out in the storage shed. I also left the hand cranked grinder out there too.

A buddy and I are going down there this Friday at lunch. Going to pickup a starter kit and maybe a couple other things in cans.

They had new hours posted on the door and I can't remember if it said they were open on Fridays, might be a good idea to call before you head down there on Friday.
