Just curious what tips the rest of you might have? I've been getting a fair
number of emails direct (names NOT to be mentioned here but there are about
15) asking for information but afraid to post because some here get really
rude about this one.

My own way: Mostly fresh foods, few packaged pre-processed items. Crockpot
(low cost to run) and chest freezer (efficient model, lets me get bulk loads
and store flour in an area where bugs are a big problem).

Lets let the lurkers lurk quietly while we see what others use?
