I haven't posted in awhile but I had to get on quickly just to let you know this info. Costco is having a sale right now on Thrive Freeze Dried Cheeses. If you follow my blog at all, you know that cheese and butter are the two things we missed most while living off food storage. Right now you can get 6 cans of cheese for just $169 plus FREE shipping and handling. A quick check shows that to buy these separately from the Thrive website right now would cost $277.63 with shipping. And that's with them on sale.
In addition, Costco also has Thrive freeze dried meats on sale with 3 cans of chicken and 3 cans of beef for just $159.99 plus free shipping. I absolutely prefer canning your own meat to freeze dried, but if you are determined to go this direction, this is a great price. Purchasing these cans of meat from Thrive itself would cost you $286.52.
Click here to see all of Costco's Emergency Food and Supplies and be aware that this sale is only running until March 18, or until supplies run out. I am ordering the cheese for sure. Costco is often a great place to look for supplies, especially if you live outside Utah because their shipping is often free. I even got my Shelf Reliance rotating can racks from them for way cheaper, plus free shipping.
Anyway, I hope this is a good resource for you. Good Luck!
