Amazing article. And good work with the pickles.

One of the missing factors here is staple goods. A number of us locally have been buying from the Ontario Natural Food Coop (ONFC) catalogue, which gives us bulk orders of high-grade organics without paying any more than we would for conventional foods in a supermarket (I can hook people up if they wish).

The real bonus here is the once-monthly bulk drop-offs of sacks of food. Beans, quinoa, brown rice syrup or unbleached diapers. It changes the way your pantry works. And if you weren't concerned about organics, there are plenty of other places to buy in bulk locally (rice from Asian grocery stores etc) that cut costs enormously.

Having a few buckets full or rice, flower and dried beans would stretch those preserves out by a few more months.
