Interesting that you chose wheat. I was thinking more along the lines of vegetables and herbs, which are best when fresh but that can also be canned. Of course bulk buying is best, if you can afford it and if it is available. I think you missed the point of my post.
I don't eat vegetables, but mostly it is because my goal is cheap low effort calories that store well for decades and that are easy to prepare. The wheat and rice along with beans form a complete amino acid, meaning along with a multi-vitamin I won't die of malnutrition and I shouldn't feel hungry. I supplement more protein and add some taste with wet canned meats (chicken, SPAM-like product, and beef). I eat one or two meals a week of these things just to keep the canned stuff from getting too old. Also, when in a hurry a can of roast beef becomes a 60 second meal and is fairly tasty.
