Stocking Up On Bulk Baking Ingredients

By Ann Jordan


Having the ability and means to purchase and store bulk baking ingredients can be of immense assistance. It can give a family a store of food to draw from, an emergency supply in case of a disaster and a source of generosity for friends and neighbors who may meet on hard times. It makes sense to pick up extra ingredients each time groceries are purchased from regular supermarkets and warehouse grocery outlets.

It is so easy to make exciting breads and desserts when you have all the items you need ready and available. Store the ingredients close to your preparation area for easy access. Be sure to date the items as soon as they are purchased and then rotate them as they are being used.

By stocking up and saving so many foods, you will have the opportunity to come to the aid of others in time of need. This may be due to a natural disaster or other emergency. The help you give to friends, neighbors and even strangers is sure to be greatly appreciated.

If there is a natural disaster and stores are unable to provide you with what you need, that stock of items will become very useful, if not lifesaving. You can draw on all of your supplies until danger passes and groceries are available again. Most of these ingredients store easily and have long shelf lives. Be sure to label each item with the date purchased and rotate items as they are purchased and used.

If you lose your job or take a reduction in pay, having these supplies on hand will go far in assisting in stretching your household dollars. Combining with home-grown fruits and vegetables as well the use of manufacturer coupons for all your purchases will definitely help you make ends meet during trying financial times.

Store dry goods in plastic receptacles with tight fitting lids. Choose containers that will stack easily but are not too heavy to move or lift. Food service buckets with lids work very well and can sometimes be obtained from restaurants or hotels for free.

Store all of your supplies in dry, airtight containers that will protect them from bugs, moisture and rodents. They may already be storage-ready or you may have to transfer them to plastic containers with tight-fitting lids. Food service buckets with lids can be obtained for free just for the asking from your favorite restaurant or hotel.

With every trip to the grocery store, be sure to stock up on a few extra items. You will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you can build up your supplies. Be sure to purchase even more when items are on sale or a special discount is offered. Use coupons at every opportunity for even more savings.

Being able to stock and store bulk baking ingredients can be a real lifesaver for you and your household. You will be able to save money, have what you need on hand and be able to generously donate to others in their time of need. Preparation in hard times and during emergencies will put you ahead of the game and you will be able to better care for your family.
