Not to threadjack, but just to give you an idea of produce savings. The 4quarts and 7 pints of pickles I made this weekend cost a total of $22 not counting cukes since if it were summer I'd grown them. Average cost of Claussen pickles in a quart at the store= 5-7 dollars. Yeah, thats a good saving. But you will never see me eat a pickle, I hate them. But yeah I plan on stepping up my canning next year for sure. |

Forgot about this, been slacking. I'll start up again. 1/29/12 Cooked three elk steaks for us. That probably saved us roughly $20 for store bought beef steaks. 1/30/12 Had venison tacos. Probably roughly another $6 in ground beef. Not counting the last month I slacked off on thats roughly $41 dollars so far. Stinks because we probably had another $60 or so in there. Total: $41 This thread caught my eye awhile ago and then I forgot about it for some reason  Oh yeah, you quit doing it ;D |
