5 Gallon Buckets

We have the opportunity to purchase the food grade 5 Gallon Buckets again! Azrcka Bedgood of Lost Mountain is working on a list to purchase another pallet of buckets.

For those of you that don't know about them, the cost is $3.36 each and it includes a lid!
That is a great price compared to the price that I paid last year from Walton Feed.

The way it works is, as soon as she gets enough money to buy a pallet of 144, she buys them. She has it out to the entire stake to order. I personally purchased 5 last month and when I started putting food storage in them, I realized I NEED more!

“How much will fit in a 5 gallon bucket”

* Rice = 34-36 lbs.
* Wheat = 34-36 lbs.
* Cracked Wheat = 25-28 lbs.
* Popcorn (unpopped of course) = 34-36 lbs.
* Corn = 32-36 lbs.
* Cornmeal = 22-27 lbs.
* Flour = 23-25 lbs.
* Rolled oats = 15-19 lbs.
* Macaroni = 16-23 lbs.
* Powdered Milk = 22-25 lbs.
* Sugar – white = 29-34 lbs.
* Sugar – brown = 30-36 lbs.
* Salt = 36-38 lbs.
* Navy beans = 35-38 lbs.
* Whole or Split peas = 33-35 lbs.
* Black Beans = 33-35 lbs.
* Lentils = 30-33 lbs.
* Black eye peas = 30-33 lbs.

There you have it and I hope it helps.

Please let me know ASAP if you would like to order 5 Gallon Buckets.
