Cool. OP said "grocery store run." Guidance is to skip the grocery store runs right now. Just stay inside. This is what we've prepared for.[/quote]

I thought we were supposed to get shopping down to every 2 weeks if possible. Some of us were preparing to get by 2 weeks without shopping, and are nearing the end of that and need to restock. "Make sure you go every 2 weeks AND have an additional, untouched fortnight's worth of food in case we move the goalposts one random day" is not the guidance i was preparing under. Nor do i have the space.

That said, we can stretch until Friday, but at that point we'll be out of everything my kid will eat, especially perishables. So milk, fruit, bread ([b]I found bugs in my flour today so i won't be making my own)....[/b][/quote]

This.  I stocked up the last week in February and haven't shopped since. I've done my part to socially distance. Now I need to go to the store. Cat must have food, and I've gone through the 30+ cans I bought earlier.[/quote]

I'm getting constipated just reading your post.

Why am I picturing a cat lady right noe?[/quote]

Dear PP, no, this would be wasteful! For one, bugs are alive, that means you have good
unbleached flour, just like a bug in an apple is a good thing!

Our grandmothers were never stopped by bugs in the flour! That is why the invention of
sifting happen for which every olden recipe is calling.. sift  your flour first.

May God's hand prevents you from throwing out perfectly good flour when people are
starving!! 
Go to your tool box and check if you have any of those gizmos:

If so, just sift your flour rand you are good to go. If not plan B..

go to amazon and either buy a fine strainer, sifter or buy a pro flour sifter:

I can assure you how I sit here, your flour  has been already sifted for you and all the bugs were taken out and you just got a second crop so do not kidd yourself, just because  you never saw  them before,
they factories do sift flour for them. They are in most flours most of the time. Do not despair,
just sift. Repeat.

Are weevils safe to eat? Since you typically bake or cook the flour before eating it, there is no danger from eating weevils in flour. However, it is easy to simply sift them out of the flour first using a mesh strainer or flour sifter, though this will likely not sift out the weevil eggs.

If you are totally spooked by them, the old chefs' trick. .just make a chocolate cake with chocolate
bits.. see if anyone will complaint  :lol:

I found bugs in my 20 lb bag of King Arthur flour. Sifted them out and it’s fine. [/quote]
