General Deals
All the 'deals' are per the best of my knowledge. Obviously, I do not go to all these places every week, so I may be off. If something has expired, or is out of stock, I'll be happy to update it if you send me a note.
Augason Farms
Some specials are available online, others are only at the outlet. See the Auguson Farms website for their contact information, store hours, and products. This company used to be The Blue Chip Group.
The outlet has a scratch-and-dent section; freeze-dried fruits/veggies are $10 for a #10 can; all other #10 cans are $5.
I'm not interested in a lot of what they sell, since I can make it cheaper- and healthier- myself, but there are some good deals to be found.
Some deals found at the outlet are: 25-lb bag of oats for $9, 25-lb bag of red beans for $10, 25-lb bag Bob's Red Mill organic amaranth flour, $7.50; 25-lb bag Bob's Red Mill organic quinoa flour, $7.50; 50-lb bag brown flaxseed, $15. A 50-lb bag of Morning Moo's Milk (which is whey-based) is $90. Most dry-powder-milk products make 1 gallon of milk per pound of powder. I'm assuming this reconstitutes similarly; if so, that would be $1.80/gallon. These in-store specials are while-they-last-only; I recommend calling them before you go if you have your heart set on something.
If you would like some easy, quick options in your pantry, they have a One-Month Pack, 48 #2 1/2 cans of everything from Creamy Wheat Cereal (like Malt-O-Meal), to freeze-dried strawberries, to just-add-water chili. The retail on this is $225, and it's on at the outlet sale for $175. My first reaction was that this is still a lot of money, but think about it: how much do you spend per person for a month's worth of food? This makes for cheap convenience food.
See here for outlet-only specials, or see here for online specials. As of 5/26 their #10 can of freeze-dried strawberries is on sale for just under $12. There are about 12 1/2 cups of berries in each can, which equates to about 3 1/2 pounds fresh berries, or about $3.40/lb. That's a good price for berries that don't need washed, refrigerated, or somehow else kept from spoiling.
