Things are heating up in the wild west. If you look at things, the Mormons have been at ground zero when it comes to hotpoint political issues lately. From Romney for prez, to Sen Hatch holding the key position on the Senate Judicial Committee, to reid (LDS - by the loosest of standards....) actually persecuting the Bundies (LDS) and now, LaVoy (LDS). For this reason, the Church has distanced itself from the statement that we are acting under divine mandate to uphold the Constitution over lesser principles that the feds are operating under.
Anyway - check before you run down there and load up - but this is the latest buzz on dry milk:
Milk is a good tradeable item when things get difficult. If not, it is good for feeding baby animals, etc when it is past its due date.I read on a post somewhere today that the cannery had dropped the price on the powdered milk. Yes, it is true. I went today and bought 25# bags for $31. They said 3 days ago it was selling for $71?
I just looked up a current home storage center order form at the lds.org website. It shows a current price of $3 per pouch, which is $36 for a twelve pouch case.
ReplyDeleteI was just at my local home storage center a couple weeks ago and they were selling milk for $75 per case.
I need eight cases to complete my food storage. Two weeks ago that would have cost me $600. Now it's down to $288. I will be able to finish my food storage acquisition in three months instead of six, at my current spending rate.
