Just about the only thing I buy online is tinned butter, and that's only
because no store around here
has even heard of such a thing. I purchase it from The Internet Grocer aka
Best Prices Storable Foods
who imports it from Australia/New Zealand along with the tinned Kraft
Cheese. I much prefer
the real thing to the powdered butter and cheese.

has good selection and service but are not the cheapest.

usually has good prices on cases of MRE.

I haven't ordered food yet from South Summit
http://www.southsummit.com/
but they do sell Mountain House and their service was good on other
items. Better-than-average selection of water pumps for storage
drums.

Countryside Magazine
http://www.countrysidemag.com/
teaches how to grow your own food, which isn't exactly the question
that you asked.

My complete list of recommended food and gear suppliers is at:

Thanks Rex, I'll take a look at your page and see if you have any that
I don't already have.

The feed store 10 miles from my house.

...and why?

I know it's not likely food grade, but a bushel (60 lbs) of untreated
wheat "cleaned and bagged" costs me about $5, even cheaper if you've got
your own bulk container. Seems to me you're better off eating fresh
foods everyday whenever possible, but then have your big, cheap
stockpile of wheat (or whatever is grown locally that is =cheap=) as
TEOTWAWKI insurance. What is the likelyhood you'll ever need a big
stockpile? Plus in the event what kind of food would you be happy to
have? Would you rather have 800 lbs of animal feed or 100 lbs of food
grade? Plus in the event the looters will pass right over your stockpile
of "livestock feed" in the first couple waves of riots, giving you
plenty of time to move and hide it. It's so cheap you can afford to dump
and replace it every few years when grain prices are low. Or a pellet
stove can burn certain grains, allowing you to rotate your stockpile
without eating old food all the time /

There's advantages of each type of food. MREs and canned food are great
for quick meals, freeze dried foods have minimal weight which is great
if you must carry the food on your back, but dried bulk feed grains have
about 100 times the amount of food for the same amount of money!! I'd
rather have 600 lbs of ordinary wheat than 10 MREs which cost the same.
The only drawback is coming up with a place and a way to store it.
