Your Walmart carried gamma lids and butter powder??!! Normally I never desire to live in UT, but when I see how easy it is to get a hold of food storage stuffs at these great prices, then sometimes I am little green with envy. :) Ah well, we'll just keep pluggin' along in WI, thank heavens for ordering online!

Kathy -
I know how it is outside of the intermountain west. We lived in New York for many years and had to order everything. In fact, I struggled to even find buckets. Hopefully we can help each other find good resources.

Could you possibly post the UPC's from the Red Feather butter & cheese? I'm going to harass my Wal-Mart grocery manager until he gets some on the shelves.

Wendy said...

Sure! I don't have the UPC for the cheese -- haven't purchased any yet. But here is the UPC for the Red Feather Butter (12 oz.): (little 8) 4191900002 (little 2).

If anyone would be willing/able to post UPC codes for any of these items (myself, I'd especially love to get the codes for the hard red or white wheat, buckets or 50# bags) it would be great. Many folks can't find these items locally and shipping costs on the heavier items are very cost prohibitive. With the codes it might be possible to get some of these on a ship-to-store basis, or even convince a WM manager to begin carrying some of them in our area. Anyone?
