Dry Food Storage Price Comparisons

Another blogger spent several looooong hours over the past few days creating a Price Comparison of Dry Foods from Food Storage Companies spreadsheet.

Her list isn't all the companies in the world, but the ones she personally was interested in comparing. You can't compare apples to oranges very easily.

These are the companies she compared:

LDS Family Storage Center
Thrive/Shelf Reliance Food Storage
Walton Feed
Blue Chip Group & Morning Moos
Honeyville Grain

She discovered that not all #10 cans are created equal (packed equally), so she had to convert all weights of the #10 cans into ounces. She also listed some foods in pails (buckets) and bags. But her list is not all encompassing. Mostly the items she was interested in comparing. Just because they are on the list doesn't mean she stores them all. LOL

Some companies carry many more items than she listed, and you can go to their individual websites to read more. She definitely knows she has some errors in this spreadsheet (who wouldn't) and prices will change, but overall you can use it.

I hope you find it useful.

Note: You will find that you can save a lot of money if you package your own food at the LDS Family Storage Center.

I also noticed that there are some prices that are cheaper at Sam's or Costco as well as some Associated Food Stores right now since they are having their case lot sales. For instance my Dad's store, Ridley's here in Cache Valley, has 25lbs of Sugar for $9.98 and 25lbs of flour for $5.88.
