The wheat from the LDS church (Mormons) is definitely intended for long term storage (30+ years). Just be sure you are packing/storing it correctly (in an air-tight container with some oxygen absorbers placed inside).

I know that can make a big difference in the cost. I think this is a great list and a great place to start. Even if you aren't planning on using these items in ten years if tshtf, they are all things you should have on hand for any emergency, or even as part of a healthful diet. If you aren't already eating beans and whole grains as part of your regular diet you should seriously consider doing so!

The current price for 50 lbs of wheat is around $15.00. If you're paying $50, you're paying too much. Also, keep in mind that I mentioned that this article is a guideline and the original article(that I reposted) was written when wheat was closer to $5 for 50 lbs. Good luck with all your preps.

Right now as of this date the average price for 50 lbs of hard wheat is about 50 dollars. I've been prepping for a while now and the numbers seem a bit skewed. At Sams Club 10 lbs of sugar (which I just purchased last week) was closer to 7 dollars. 25 lobs of flour for bread and pastries was closer to 10 dollars. No offense, but the list is a good one, however the math is a bit "fuzzy". No where that I have checked can you purchase 50 lbs of wheat for anything close to 5 dollars.

Also, another great food that I learned will actually keep forever, not sure if you have mentioned it, is popcorn. Apparently it'll last forever.
