Oh, I quite agree. I don't order food online which is why I have to
Google the net, use reader contributions, and poll the readership to
find suppliers for the who folks who do choose the online option. I
do order equipment online, but that's somewhat different from food.
The problem with Googling the net is that anyone can put up a hot
looking web site. If you don't already know something of the company
their site doesn't tell you much so I much prefer to get input from
the readership if I can.
So, once again. What companies are you folks ordering storage food
from online?
Who do you buy your food preservation and storage equipment from
online?
......Alan.
