I found Maseca is a high calorie product and super cheap. A 4.4lb bag runs about $2.50 and yields 6600 calories. That is a lot of tortillas - which are super easy to make! Whenever I shop, I always try to get the most food per dollar and this is a super cheap food that is very filling.

Make sure you freeze it to kill off any bugs......

Too bad Twinkies are gone......great shelf life !!!

Little Debbie makes 'Clouds' that look like Twinkies.....
but I don't think they have a 'storage history' yet.

Flour [masa harina] is hard to keep bugs out of, even in
airtight plastic containers.
I even had some in a vacuum sealed bag....I think the
bugs are already in it when you buy it.
The freezer is best, as long as you have power.
It will stay fresh too.

I grind my flour from seed....
if I have any left at the time, it goes in the freezer.

Spam will keep for ages in a cool pantry.
Treet is basically the same as Spam, but
cheaper [$1.38 @ wal-mart] although the Spam
people claim their product is much better.

Vienna Sausage is another with long shelf life.
And only about $.50 per can.

Jalapenos
Beenie-Weenies
Canned Kidney beans
Tomato sauce and paste
Tuna
Sardines
Oreo cookies
Lard

Are a few I can think of
that we have tested well over
5 years with excellent results.
Some of the sardines were over 8yrs old
and identical to fresh cans to test against.
