Awesome Wheat Deal!!

I recently found a really good deal on wheat (hard white or red)!

To compare, here are wheat prices around town right now:
Costco: $22 for a 45lb bucket
Wal-Mart: $20.82 for a 45lb bucket
Springville Cannery: $20.40 for 33lbs of red wheat (it comes in 6 #10 cans--not in a sealed bucket.) White Wheat is NOT available here right now.

WHAT WE CAN GET: A sealed 45lb bucket of hard white wheat (or red) for $16.50 w/tax!!! (From a place in Brigham City called Wheatland Seed.)

To get this deal, we have to get 288 buckets ordered. If we do this, they will drive it down to us in a semi-truck. So, let your neighbors, friends, and family know about this deal and (with the help of a few other wards I am working with) we will hopefully be able to order this many and get this deal.

Buckets vs. Bags: Remember, you may be able to find wheat cheaper in bags, but then you have to buy the bucket and the lid (around $5-8) and seal it yourself...which will make it more expensive than what we are getting it at. This is a great deal on wheat already sealed in a bucket.

White vs. Red: Either is fine to get. White wheat is a little easier on your digestive system, but red wheat is a little more nutritious (and a little "heavier"). You can usually find red wheat cheaper than white wheat, so I personally am going to order mostly white wheat this time because of the low price. Don't stress--both are good.

Why Get Wheat? Even if you aren't using wheat in your diet yet, it is important to begin stocking up on it. And you don't need to worry about rotating this wheat--it will last for 30 years sealed this way just sitting in your storage--guilt free! (I for one am working on getting a year supply of wheat in buckets that I never touch. Then I will just buy the wheat I use as I need it (like one bag at a time) to cook with. You may call this lazy...I call it simple....)

I know many of you don't use wheat and don't even have a way to grind it, but we'll worry about that later :) Right now, take advantage of this good deal and get what you can--even if it's only one bucket!

We will be having Enrichment classes later this year on easy ways to use your wheat. Just get some!

How to Order: Leave a comment (with your name) and let me know HOW MANY buckets of white or red (or both) you would like. IF we get enough orders to meet the requirements of the deal, THEN I will collect your money.

Thanks!
