Buying Yeast in Bulk

Just got my online order of yeast. Yay! I tried a new online outlet, Mulberry Lane Farms, and am impressed! The price of bulk yeast is very good. Shipping was a little pricey but I think the yeast is high-quality, and I like supporting family farm ventures like this.

I buy yeast in bulk. It saves me a ton of money (I make a lot of flax seed bread with all our Italian dishes). I cannot understand HOW grocery stores can charge $5 for a tiny little jar of yeast when I can pay $5 for a bulk 1 pound bag that contains ten times as much. Crazy! This month I needed yeast and I needed to buy cell phones minutes… but I couldn’t pay for both, not with store prices. I’m happy to report that I was able to get both! And now I have a year’s worth of yeast in my pantry.

I’m looking into buying nuts and seeds in bulk, too. I haven’t found a BIG savings in online versus retail stores yet. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to leave them. I prefer the smaller, farming, family-friendly places instead of the “CAFO” of bulk foods. It’s been tough trying to find nuts and seeds online for good prices.
