The mylar bags just add another layer of protection and could possibly extend the shelf life a little longer. The oxygen absorbers are what is preserving it the most. Your shelf life will definitely be more than one year, but not as long as storing regular wheat would be. Just try to rotate it within a few years and you should be just fine.

I have been working so hard on my food storage for our family of four. However, now I am wondering if I have goofed in some areas. I have some dehydrated #10 cans that I purchased but I have also been buying bulk bags of rice, beans, sugar, etc. and putting them them in 6 gallon gamma buckets with a 2000 cc oxygen absorber. I did not put a insert mylar bag inside the bucket. Is this a problem? The only thing I could find online is that the bucket will collapse. Well, so far my buckets are fine but are there other areas of concerns but not using the mylar bag and just the bucket. Question 2: another site said white flour will only last about a year, but yet you can buy a #10 can of flour online with a shelf life of 10 years. Is my 6 gallon buckets of flour going to expire in about a year or are they good for about 10 years? Please help so I can be prepared but also not waste my money.

@ Rita – Since she is speaking of cooking and meals instead of storage in that section, I believe the “non food storage” items would be the perishable ingredients such as fresh eggs, fresh milk, fresh veggies, or other items that have a very limited shelf life, as opposed to “shelf-stable” items (such as canned goods) that could potentially last a few years.

@ dun – It’s better to lose “some” food from food storage than to lose “no” food because you don’t have any food stored. In the case of long time frame disaster, which you really should know pretty soon after it starts, you should use refrigerated items first and then frozen second if lack of electricity is the issue.

@Rita – I think non food storage items means stuff like toilet paper, cleaners etc. Mind you, you wouldn’t want to put them right next to food. For example you should NEVER put soap, detergents and washing powder next to food. EVER! But there is no reason why they can’t be stored in the same room.

This may be a crazy question, but you comment about “food storage” items and “non-food storage” items. What is the difference? Could you give examples?

I agree with you Lisa. I feel like I will never have enough food storage. I’m just starting out and I don’t have a fortune to spend on it and I have that I’ve got to have it now attitude.
