I think putting money into something on the hoof is a better investment. Grass acreage, cattle, chickens, garden . As long as the sun shines and the rains come you can eat.

You only need to have the seeds for next years garden , livestock, orchard and enough stored grains/jarred/dehydrated foods to last to the next harvest.

Go to Walmart and buy the Keystone brand canned meat for storage. They just started carrying it here. They sell beef and chicken here but the company also makes turkey, pork, and a couple other things and you can order it from their website by the case. It's $6.28 for a 28 oz. can here but they also make it in a smaller can. Canned in Ohio with no additives or water. Cooked in-the-can with only a cube of salt, nothing else. The beef is lean (we've never found any fat in it at all), very tender, and tastes great. They advertize a 5 year shelf life but there is no expiration date on the can. The FDA says it doesn't need one because as long as the can is intact it is okay. Beef roast is not cheap and considering the fat on them in the store, it is cheaper for my wife and I to buy this canned. I'm going to order the smaller cans because the large ones are more than we need for a meal.

I've been buying 6 packs of canned pork, beef and chicken from Costco.. It's Kirkland brand and it's pretty tasty.. It works out to be about 2.40 per 12oz can of beef... the chicken is cheaper, and the pork about the same.

Can it yourself. It's even cheaper that way & tastes much better.

I agree - but I've made some bison and salmon jerky - vaccum packed- holds for about a year. I rotate the canned foods every 8 months, rather than waiting for them to expire. I don't do jarred - b/c they breakdown early. Most preppers would do well, to heed the warnings - and stay below ground. MRE's despite the warnings of two years, are still tasty after 10 years.

It depends on why you are hoarding food - for a nuclear accident? You'd better move if you live within 50 miles of a powerplant

Any idea where the meat is from?

You really want to know?

You really want to know?

Yes I do. I don't want radioactive meat from Japan nor canned rats from china.

I looked them up and it says owned and operated in Midwest, FDA inspected.

I also went to Wallyworld website and it says "in store only" on the canned meats.

I'll vouch for Keystone as an alternative option to fresh or home canned.
I've used Keystone meat for about three yrs now. It's quality and I LOVE it. I like to keep it for emergency needs such as when there's more month than money and I need to come up with filling meals for a few days. They now offer ground beef- and it's so good. I'm from Ohio and know that Lima, where Keystone is located is a farmland area.

I checked the price yesterday and it went up to $8.51 a can. OUCH
