What are #10 cans?

Many of you are probably familiar with this term, but in case you are not...
#10 cans are gallon size aluminum cans, that hold sealed food that can last up to 20-30 years.  Be sure to check labels, different companies may have different time frames.  The reason I buy in bulk #10 cans is because the packaging lasts longer, and sometimes it's cheaper.  

I buy most of my product from these stores:     
      LDS Cannery or Home Storage Centers  https://providentliving.org/  Search for “Home Storage Centers”

     Honeyville   http://honeyville.com/  They have a flat rate shipping of $4.99.

     Thrive  http://www.thrivelife.com/  Very similar products as Honeyville, prices vary, and shipping varies.

     Augason Farms  http://www.augasonfarms.com/  Some areas such as Arizona and Utah carry their freeze dried products in Walmart.  This is convenient if they do this at a store close to you because it takes out the shipping costs.

You can find anything from Freeze Dried dairy products, meats, fruits and veggies to eat as snacks, included in your food storage, or used for every day cooking when you run out of items.  

*Honeyville and Thrive also carry first aid and other emergency supplies.
