Economic Meltdown: Store Food and Gold
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
The financial institutions in the US are melting down, the latest being the failure of Washington Mutual (WAMU). The Feds will likely print more money to get us "out" of it. This will cause our dollars to be worth less, so everything you buy will cost more. Now is a very wise time to buy gold and storable food. Get it before the price increases hit, because they will.

New Food Storage Calculator Added
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
We found a Food Storage Calculator on an LDS website and added it to our website. It's designed to give you an idea of how much of various foods you need to store for a year's supply. It's real easy to use! Just enter the number of kids 0-6 years old, and the number of people 7 years old and up and--bingo!--it's
done. It's not perfect, but it's handy and interesting. Click here to go see it. |

We got a call from Bob Unruh, a reporter for WorldNetDaily, regarding our blurb on our Real Canned Butter page about the Feds commandeering a containerload of canned butter. Click here to read about the Feds storing food like crazy. |

Problems with our Shopping Cart
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
We've been having problems for the past 3 weeks with our web hosting company providing adequate speed/bandwidth for our Shopping Cart. We're now testing a new website provider for the next couple of weeks to get speed issues resolved. If you're trying to use our cart, or trying to reach us, please call 903-356-6443 (9 am to 6 pm Central time) and we'll return your call if "call minutes" are
an issue |

Canned Bacon and Restaurant Quality Steaks are shipping
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
Just in time for the July 4th cookout, we got pricing today for our Restaurant-Quality Signature Steaks. These are fabulous cuts of meat that sell elsewhere for double or more what we charge. Our price is for the steaks delivered to your door in the continental United States.
Also, we received 42 cases of our new Real Canned Bacon today. The cans are smaller than our other meats, but for those of you who have been wanting canned bacon, it's now available. These first cases will go fast, so don't "think about it" too long.... |

Non-Hybrid Seeds are BACK!
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
From late 1998 through 1999 we were able to get a Non-Hybrid Seed Pack which allowed people to remain self-sufficient for food indefinitely after their stored dehydrated food supplies were used up. Our supplier stopped supplying them ... until this week! Here's your opportunity to end any food concerns.
We're not sure how long they'll be available, nor for how long they'll be at this low price, so act now and get a pack or two along with your food stores. |

BPSF uploads a new alphabetized sitemap
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
For those of you who have had difficulty navigating our website's structure, we've now uploaded an alphabetized sitemap--which even includes the items in our online store!--Just look for the
to the left on almost every page. (Yeah, I'm aware the colors aren't right. They looked OK on my laptop in the evening, but when I looked at them on Allison's PC, it was glaringly obvious. I'll work on it! Until I get it fixed, I thought the sitemap being there was more important than looks....) |

Food prices no longer guaranteed. Order NOW!
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
Until this week, we got a price list from our dehydrated foods supplier that was good for a year. They told us yesterday that they can no longer get guaranteed pricing for longer than THREE WEEKS. (You can thank the government's meddling with our "new" alcohol-enhanced gasoline, and Muslim oil suppliers' gouging us, for food prices going completely out-of-control.) When you order, there is a possibility that pricing
will be too low. We will email you your corrected total (if needed) for your approval before we place your order with our cannery. Order NOW before it gets worse! Go there now!

Best Prices Moves Newsletter Subscription Page
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
For over a year we've been happily mailing out our monthly newsletter to about 3,900 of you ... and wondering why we were getting so few responses. Last week, we found out! Our server host only permitted 250 emails per day. So, the first 250 people on our list were the only ones getting our newsletter each month! Ugggghh!! Well, we're in the process of moving to a server that will allow us to email 6,000 people per month, at one time,
so you'll NOW start getting notice of our monthly specials. If you'd like to subscribe, click here. (Will open a new window.) The newsletter is short and to-the-point....not endless reading like so many are today. We know you're busy!

Best Prices Adds FREE In-State Firearms Sales Classified Ads
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
In MANY states it's still legal for an individual to sell a firearm to another individual without having to register the weapon with any government agency. Laws in each state vary, so please CHECK THE LAWS IN YOUR STATE BEFORE BUYING OR SELLING A FIREARM FROM/TO AN INDIVIDUAL. At the moment, there are a few additional categories on the page as "place holders" until the site can be 100% firearms. We're open to your suggestions for added
or expanded categories! So, if you're wanting to buy or sell a firearm within your state (and it's legal to do there), here's where you can do it FREE. Ads last a maximum of 30 days (at this time, we have no provision for paid advertising), and can be renewed as often as you like at no charge. Go visit our 'In-State Firearms Buy/Sell site' now!

"Send This Page to a Friend" Links Fixed
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
In the (almost) 12 years we've been online, we've used various 3rd party services to let customers send our website link to their friends and associates.... and every one of them has gone out of business. I finally found a script that lets US have control over this feature, and tonight it's been uploaded to the bottom of all of our most-visited pages. Look for the link that says: Click here to send this page to a friend. (You can even use that link!) Not every page has had the correct link added yet, but the most-visited pages are done ... so, send away!

In her absence, Allison Irwin will be in charge, so please contact her for all of your needs. We expect to have Phyllis back-to-normal within 6 weeks. Your prayers are appreciated!

Prices are volatile right now and change almost daily!
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
You can thank the government's meddling with our "new" alcohol- enhanced gasoline for food prices going completely out-of-control. When you order wheat, or ANYTHING WHEAT or WHEAT BY-PRODUCTS, or CORN or CORN-BY-PRODUCTS or ANY MIX THEY GO INTO, you can expect to have the price be too low. We will email you your corrected total (if needed) for your approval before we place your order with our cannery. Order NOW before
it gets worse! Go there now!

Best Prices makes it into "Watts Up With That?"
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
In a HUGE promotional coup, Best Prices Storable Foods has made it (infamously) into Anthony Watts' blog, "Watts Up With That"! (We're called a "crazy outfit," which should only confirm what most of you guys think of us anyway....) He gets his facts wrong (I never said the King of Tonga tried out our Make-A-Potty, only that he used a portable toilet), but, hey, publicity's publicity! Check it out here. Our mention is towards the bottom of the page under the Jan. 9 entry.

Many of these products contain no preserva- tives, no added MSG, no

BPSF gets a NEW Shopping Cart
|
Bruce H.
|
|
|
Today, Best Prices Storable Foods uploaded a NEW Shopping Cart that will figure shipping for your entire order without having to go to two different carts, regardless of the products you order. There is one catch, however.
Shipping will be accurate as long as your order is UNDER 200 pounds. Once your order reaches 200 pounds, the cart will overcharge your shipping (because UPS does not calculate Hundredweight Rate--CWT-- online). We will recalculate your shipping and email you the correct shipping amount for your approval BEFORE your card is charged.
After three months' (more) work, the Shopping Cart has been uploaded. Let us know what you think!

After four months' work, the project is complete enough to begin to be uploaded. Let us know what you think!
If you have just too much time on your hands, and want to look at our "original" website, click here.
