A 7 Year Supply Of...

yeast. I just bought a case on Ebay of vacuum packed 1lb bags of yeast. 20 pounds in all. That's about a 7 year supply for me, but it worked out to $3.50lb after shipping was included. I also went through MyPoints and got 100 points for it and used my reward credit card for free gas. It just cracks me uo to think of 20lbs of yeast.

I assume you'll be freezing it.

Wow, that's a lot of yeast! I didn't think about Ebay for something like that. I'll have to look into doing something like that on ebay! Thanks for the tip.

Wow--you could make bread for all of New Jersey with that much yeast!

I was wondering about that as when I buy my yeast it always has an exprirary date on it and I have never seen it past 1 year.

Anyone eles do this? What a wonderful idea! Even in the freezer though, would it stay good for up to 7 years? I am going to start checking ebay out more often lol, I hardly ever go on there.
