Anytime I find canned goods on sale, & they have a long exp. date, I buy as many as I can. I am thinking of trying to dehydrate some frozen veggies & see how those work. I also think some very lean times may be ahead. We will not be eating gourmet, but we will eat.
how does that food saver work out for you? I've been thinking of getting one as a "Christmas present from santa to the family". are the sealing bags expensive when you run out? are they the kind you can put in boiling water to heat stuff up? I think my mom had one, but I was alrady living out of state and never asked her about it - didnt even really know it until after she and dad died and it went away by people cleaning out the house. sharet
