bucket storage

[vigilant20]

I found out I can get bags of grain and beans from my co-op, so I plan on starting to storing some. I know I need mylar, o2 absorbers, and buckets. But my first choice (honeyville) doesn't have mylar. Is there a good source of mylar you use, or somewhere you know of where I could all 3 and save myself some shipping?

I know about Emergency Essentials and a LDS site.So far as I can tell, EE has the best price on the big mylar bags ( 5 gal buckets) They also beat LDS on the 100cc oxy absorbs. And as far as I can see LDS don't have the 500cc oa's that you use for the 5 gal buckets. Although, LDS are way cheaper than EE for the 1 gal mylars. $94 for 250 where as EE's are .87 each ( 250 = $217.50)

I can't find my link for the LDS site that sells the bags and oa's! Hopefully someone else can provide it? ( for both of us? LOL)

 

The buckets I can get from the hubby. I was told that any 5gal. bucket that has a 2 or 5 and a triangle and says: HDPE on the bottom of them are fine to use. Hubby gives me all his buckets that had drywall compound in them. I use hot soapy water to wash them out, then rinse them with bleach water, and then rinse them again with a white vinegar rinse and dry them really good and store them with the lids on them till I need them.

Thanks I've ordered from USA Emergency Supply before, so I went with them for the mylar bags. Can't wait for everything to get here!
