Seems they have all sorts of stuff.  Pails or cans?

I've been lead to believe that these commercial, pre-packed pail and bucket storage systems use a lot of space per calorie. Don't get me wrong, at $105+shipping per month per person this is a pretty good deal but you better have a lot of storage space.

That's not the only set they have, just the one I linked--easier to link the product than the search list.  They have cans too, I suppose that might work better from what you say.

Kunk save the shipping cost, buy your cans at WM westside. they have it about as cheap as buying it from Auguson Farms.

Shipping is free, looked at the cans, they come out to about 15 bucks each, iirc that's a bit better than walmart.

I strongly recommend reviewing the nutritional data for any LTS foods.  Wise foods is the worst i have seen but others are also guilty.  "Serving size" from many suppliers is less than what the Nazis fed interns at Auschwitz. Also the labels are a bit misleading..."cheesy", "beefy" and such are not referring to the animals in the dish.  Rather the flavour of the soy protein in the package.

Augason farms doesn't look too bad, and it's better than having nothing.  I'm looking at getting #10 cans, and building off of it later.  As I understand it most preservation techniques do result in some loss of nutritional value, but that's part of the price of having food that will last for 30 years.
