Just checked out a couple of prices - some smaller items work out more expensive than hoofing it over to Tesco and buying it there. In Tesco 3kg of split red lentils works out at £5.04 if you buy 6 x 500g bags. On the LDS website it's over £7.00 - then you've got delivery.
So good for bulk purchases but if you're not buying 1000kg sacks of wheat and dried tattie etc.then just double check that it's gonna work out cheaper from them than your local supermarket.
I have to say I am a bit excited about this site though. I can only imagine the faces of my colleagues if a LSD 'Emergency Pack' turns up on the courier's van, addressed to me!
very good i think but if you can get to know some local farmers you can by wheat ect off of them for far cheaper. 4 months ago i was buying 25kg bags of wheat/barley for £3/£4 and moisture was 13%
I suppose you're paying for the convenience of having it sent to your door. Handy if there aren't any farms local though and it looks like they will pre pack it for you as well
We have found supermarkets are often cheaper than Bookers, Costco type wholesalers, but bulk goods are often better in places where there are other nationalities with their own shops.
It`s a good site for someone like me who hasn`t a supermarket for around a hundred miles.
Plus of course, not one supermarket will deliver food to my area. I know, I asked em!

my mum works for a local farmer who sells wheat at £5 a sack but his wife said that its no good for making bread and canadian wheat is best for that. Have you made bread with yours axel and has it been ok or has anyone else on the forum

Unfourtuenly i dont have a mill and have not made any thing with it as of yet and there many sepcies of wheat some suitable and some not. I do know that the moisture content is good but i only use it for animal feed ect. but as im a young prepper im limited to what i can do.
also it depends on the type of bread you want some wheat will make lighter bread ect
any questions please ask
