Where do you buy cheap bulk food for food storage in Canada (xpost to frugality)

[moss]

We're looking for inexpensive bulk foods: mostly canned fish, dried fruits, nuts, seeds and sprouting seeds.

is there anyplace in canada with free shipping and good prices?

ps, organic is optional but okay if the price is right. there is a very expensive organic coop nearby that doesnt work because we cant afford it.

These guys have great fish.  I don't know if you will find the price to be right, as it is more than your average grocery store brand, but is very very good and sustainably harvested.

thanks that looks interesting.

so i think we're good for now. we had the chance to talk with a lady who is really big on food storage and she gave us some good tips.

We've managed to hook up with our religious org to order some things in bulk (tahini, for example) from the guy in town who supplies the health food stores and organic sections at the grocery stores. It was an amazingly good deal - 4kg of tahini for $36. Anyway, piggy-backing on someone else's larger order might be an option.

Hello:

I would be interested in hearing more about what these ideas are the lady provided to you.  I am currently prepping for my family and have been searching where I can buy in bulk in Canada and have been somewhat unsuccessful.  It seems Canada (at least Ontario) doesn't have many options for buying in bulk from a northern community.  Your sharing of information would be in complete confidence and very much appreciated.  Thank you.
