This is what $94.80 bought me at the LDS cannery..........

[Guest]

Got 100 lbs. hard white, 25 lbs. pinto beans, 25 lbs. great northern beans , and 2 cases of red hard wheat, 33 lbs. per case. I wanted to buy bulk on the red wheat, but they were out of it.:( Alot of food for the money! Super nice people, and I will go back soon.

Good score! I hope to go to my local LDS (for the first time) in a couple weeks. I hope I have just as good of an experience.

What a great deal! There are no locations in the Florida Panhandle or near areas. Too bad.

Closest to me is in DC... may have to make that drive. Great score!

That's almost $0.44/lb sounds like a good deal to me!!

Thanks, eeyore. I got a lot of helpful information on the link you provided. There is so much information on food and water storage in the following sub-link:

I called the LDS cannery in Tucker, Georgia (the only one in the state). In order to buy food from them or to use their center, you have to have a LDS church member accompany you. They have bulk dehydrated foods which they help you put in #10 cans or in foil pouches---by appointment only.

So, before driving a long distance, make sure you call the center in your area to find out the details. Since I do not know a LDS member, I cannot make use of their cannery.

I was told something simular when my wife called the DC cannery, but this was quite a few years ago. So i would definitely call before you invest time to go and visit.

I was told the same thing, when I called. Then the guy told me, I could go to the store next door and buy as a non-memeber. He gave me a phone # to call and made an app. no problems. I don't understand what he meant by nextdoor? It's all the same bulding! That was strange. Anyways, I remember a post on here somewhere where a guy had a problem at an LDS and wasn't able to buy. But was told all LDS are open to non-memebers and to email the chruch headquaters. He got a email from the head guy of the chruch and told him to take the email with him the next time he went. Hope this helps. Maybe call them back and ask if they have store?
