Shelf life of spices
When food storage becomes complicated, people become discouraged and give up. Keeping track of the age of spices is a complication!! Spices keep their flavor for many years. If the flavor of a spice seems to be fading, add a little more to recipes until it is used up.
Buying bouillon
When storing bouillon for food storage, it doesn’t have to be purchased in a #10 can. Store your favorite brand from the grocery store.
Some bouillon in #10 cans may have a less intense flavor, requiring more in a recipe. Be sure to ask for a taste before buying in bulk.

Buying powdered milk
When comparing prices of different brands of powdered milk in #10 cans, check the number of ounces per can. Some brands contain only 30 oz., while others contain around 50 oz. Make sure you know how much you are buying, even if the milk is on sale.
Whey-based powdered milk can taste delicious. Be aware that dairy creamer containing corn syrup and other additives is often added to improve the flavor. This sweeter milk, when added to cream soups, can alter the flavor of the soup, and having few milk solids, cannot be used to make yogurt or cheese.

Buying powdered dairy products
All the brands of powdered eggs, butter, margarine, or shortening we have tried are very similar in quality. Look for sales and check the list of ingredients on the label for only 1-2 additives.

Buying food in buckets or #10 cans?
We highly recommend rotating the food you store in fast and delicious recipes. If you know you will find it hard to open a more expensive bucket of food, consider buying your food in #10 cans. Many people find it easier to open and experiment with food in a #10 can.
Keep in mind that larger containers, like buckets, are heavy to lift, move, and stack. #10 cans come six to a box and are easy to carry and very space efficient to stack.
Some people like the large amount of food stored in buckets. If you store them, be aware that you cannot stack buckets more than three high without risking breakage of their airtight seals.
