I have to be REALLY honest here..... I don't think I'm going to be able to eat poultry if there is a pandemic.

Be careful where you get storage foods. Some of then taste like caca, and some have fillers, or too much moisture. If one item has a 20% water content, and another has a 3% water content, you can't compare weight.

Re: Does any know where to get inexpensive powdered butter and sour cream?

Yes and I was able to get REAL cheap 1 pound canned hams for very little. They lasted a long time. The hams were from Denmark if I recall correctly. Wonder if they are still made. The small hams would be excellent since they could be consumed quickly.
Thanks or reminding me.

Back in the dark ages (1960s), I used to buy cheap bacon, canned from Poland. It was wonderful, much better than supermarket bacon. Does anyone have sources for canned bacon? imported canned bacon?? cheap imported canned bacon???

Also, canned chicken is Costco is very tasty and easy to use with canned soups to make casseroles.

Just looked this up on canned bacon. I realize that this is a very old post but hey it might still be useful.
If any one is near Elizabeth NJ then can you let us know about this Celebrity company and if we can make orders?
Thanks

Does anyone remember canned bacon? Has anyone seen this product lately? I have seen a new bacon product on the grocery shelf. It does not require refrigeration. It is pretty pricey $2.59 to $2.99. But the good ole fashion bacon in the can is what I am looking for.

I did a full search among the distributors of canned hams and bacon. None of them are bringing bacon into the lower 48. It is still being sold in Alaska. A friend came down from Fairbanks for the winter and she brought us two cases. Will do the same this year. The brand going into Alaska is CELEBRITY of Celebrity Foods, Elizabeth, NJ 07206. They have no email that I could find, information doesn't list a telephone and they don't answer letters. They do bring into the lower 48 small canned hams and a Spam like product which is far superior to Spam. I have gotten it at Eckard Drugs on occassion. The ham is the best too, I believe. If anyone lives in the area of Elizabeth, NJ maybe you could run this company down for the rest of us and find out where we can order. The meat products are from Hungary.

Re: Does any know where to get inexpensive powdered butter and sour cream?

Found the location for the hams and possibly for the bacon. It shows bacon but I am not sure if that is dehydrated or vac packed or just regular bacon. Hope this helps. My family used Plumrose hams a great deal and were very happy with them.

The Plumrose hams have a lot more fat and yuk than they used to. They are OK cut into cubes for bean seasoning, though. I doubt I will buy more.

Re: Does any know where to get inexpensive powdered butter and sour cream?

Since my earlier post of the recipe for making sour cream from evaporated milk, I would like to update that information.

I tried it and it was horrible! I've since purchased powdered sour cream from Barry farms. There may be cheaper resources out there, but they accept PayPal so I don't have to use a credit card and their service is wonderful.

Re: Does any know where to get inexpensive powdered butter and sour cream?

Just saw in the grocery store Oscar myers has shelf safe bacon strips for about $2.75 per 15 in a box. For me that is expensive but as a comfort treat food that would not be bad if you if you are a real bacon lover.

Re: Does any know where to get inexpensive powdered butter and sour cream?

Hi,

Here are some of the places I've purchased from:

1) Canned Hams -- Sam's club has a 3 pack of the DAK imported, canned hams $7.06 for three 1 lb cans. Also check your local Walgreen's drug store since they periodically put them on sale for $2 to $3 each.

2) Bacon - Costco has Tyson's Bacon (shelf stable) 44 slices for $8.89 and Sam?s Club has the Hormel (shelf stable) bacon 70 slices for $7.88. Also look into the Hormel crumbled bacon (great for omelets and salads) in Sam?s Club. For a true New Yorker ? nothing is as good as Taylor Pork Roll and several NY/NJ meat companies are mail ordering it. Check out Pork Roll Express at http://www.porkrollxpress.com/newstore/

3) Cheese and Butter: Hats off to the gals at FluWickie who arranged a deep discount at MREDEPOT on this one. Enter the discount code fluwickie on checkout to get between 20 ? 25% off your order of canned butter (New Zealand) and canned cheddar cheese (Kraft). For those more home-ec savvy, you can ?can? butter and the directions are at: http://homecooking.about.com/library...e/blmisc34.htm

4) Canned Meats (other than Ham)

Ground Beef ? Grabill Country Meats (by the case only) 866-333-MEAT (Internet Grocer has their meat avail by the can)

Beef ? Costco has canned beef chunks (not bad, but needs a gravy) at $10 for 6 12-oz cans; Some Walmarts have canned beef chunks too.

Beef, Turkey, Pork: Grabill sells it, as does Werling and Sons http://www.werlingandsons.com/
(Internet grocer http://web2.airmail.net/foodstr2/ sells as small quantities)

Chicken ? Costco canned chicken is good (6) cans 12-oz each for $10. Sweet Sue (div of Castleberry) has a WHOLE canned chicken (3lb 2oz) in chicken broth at Lowe?s supermarkets and some Walmart for about $5.50 / can. It?s fully cooked, just heat and serve

Pork ? Werling, Grabill both sell pork chunks, but most folks rave about the Castleberry brand ? check your local grocer. Amazon has 12 (10oz) cans for $33

I hope it all helps,

Re: Does any know where to get inexpensive powdered butter and sour cream?

Wow those are great ideas, Thank you so much!!

I was at Sam's Club tonight and they have the canned turkey 3 - 12 oz cans for $8.95
Butter si so expensive and I was in Sam's Club and got a 1 gal jug of buttery flavored oil that I can use in the mac & cheese occassions. It was $6.79 ACT III which has a good flavor. I figured it out that one jug is about 8 pounds equivalent of butter flavor. Which is much cheaper. I also picked up a small jug of the buttery salt flavoring as well for under $3.

still trying to figure out which is the best way to go on laundry soap.. is powered cheaper than the liquid? I figure that liquid would dl be easier to use if having to wash stuff by hand and the powered may not dissolve or rise as easy. Thoughts anyone? Powered is better if it is spilled then you can always sweep it up and salvage a good portion of it hopefully, liquid is not the case.

For those who live in the city or have less space for possible trash removal / storage then a mini trash compressor might be helpful. They have the hand trash compressors that I understand is pretty good. I'm frankly cheap and use the old fashion method of foot n trash bin, press hard!

Thanks again everyone for these exceptional ideas.
Please keep them coming we can all certainly use them.

Concentrate does not take up so much space.

Re: Does any know where to get inexpensive powdered butter and sour cream?

It was so expensive I came up with a different solution.
I'm using the powdered sour cream and powdered cheese in cooking, correct? Hamburger Helper and Mac and cheese come with just the right amount of seasoning, HH includes cheese and sour cream in most flavors, mac and cheese has a packet of powdered cheese and is incredibly cheap, it's cheaper to just go ahead and stock up on HH and M & C. It's easier to plan meals, I can add tuna or TVP for protein etc, and Amazon has cases of 12 hamburger helpers for $15 right now. Sam's has Mac and Cheese in mega packs, cheap.
To see how long it lasts, I used a hamburger helper a couple of weeks ago that had expired in 2000. It was fine, it tasted normal. Since the expiration is a year or two in the future that gives you at LEAST 8 or 9 years shelf life. If the nutrients have diminished you can supplement a vitamin, that's no different than using enriched foods to begin with.
Does anyone see anything wrong with this? (I hope not, I bought 208 boxes of hamburger helper, and 160 of mac and cheese!)
