I've stocked up on rice and beans, coffee, medicines, and even have some "25 year emergency food", but I'm looking for some dried veggies, fruits, nuts, etc.. I found some on this website, but didn't know if this was the best choice in terms of cost. https://www.redhillgeneralstore.com/Bulk-Foods.htm I also need a better alternative for animal feed (dogs/cats/chickens). Even my local feed supply has horrible prices now. (I might be too late on that!) Thanks everyone!

I bought a really good, large dehydrator last year and dried all kinds of fruits and vegetables. The dried stuff you buy is ridiculously expensive. The one I got is the Magic Mill 10 tray food hydrator. I now now have many shelves of jars of carrots, apples, cabbage, tomatoes, oranges and lemons, green beans, onions, you name it.
I ordered nuts from www.anuts.com and was really pleased with the order.
I also got a good vacuum sealer to help extend the keep date of the nuts, flour, anything I can fit in the largest size sealer bags. Buy the rolls and cut your own to fit, it's cheaper.
Do you have a Rural King nearby? They are cheaper on feed than Tractor Supply or Southern States.
This is a place near me run by Mennonites that has fairly reasonable prices on all kinds of bulk items and they will do mail order. Worth the trip if Harrisonburg VA is within driving distance for you. http://www.grandmaspantryva.com/
All great advice fren. Dehydrating applesauce makes pretty good fruit leather too.
