This time of year is a great time stock up on baking items. They preserve well and are great for bartering. Thanksgiving and Christmas/Holiday times are the lowest prices of the year, so if you are on a tight budget, now is the time.
Paint buckets from a hardware store, oxygen absorbers and a cool dry place are all you need to store these items for a few years.
Happy prepping.
Excellent recommendation. Sugar, Salt, flour, etc all store well. You can get the buckets at Lowes or Home Depot for less than 5 bucks, you can order your mylar bags and oxygen absorbers from amazon for $27.00 - 10 of each http://www.amazon.com/10-OxyFree-Absorbers-Freshness-Dehydrated/dp/B001Y0Y8C6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354502002&sr=8-1&keywords=mylar+bags+5+gallon). If you use the regular lids that come with the buckets, don't forget a bucket lid opening tool http://www.wheatgrasskits.com/bucket-lid-opener) or if you want a better way, but a little more expensive, check out the gamma seal lids http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gamma+seal). The link to amazon is just to see what they are. I think you can find them cheaper elsewhere.
