Can-do

I have taken an inventory of all our food storage, and my project for February is to get it canned. Alas, monthly budget only allows for 22 #10 cans, so in February, I can can half of it (using January's and February's allotment). I'll finish it in April. And I have learned my lesson: for the rest of the year, while I complete our supply, I will can on site before bringing it home. Or better yet, buy the pre-canned stuff.

  1. The pre-canned food storage is totally the way to go. Maybe it's just me, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to can at home (unless it's food from their garden or something like that).

  2. It was cheaper at the time. With the budget I had, I managed to get nine months of food storage, instead of six months canned. Now I am canning it, because I have the money. From now on, however, I will merely be adding to my initial stock, so I will buy it pre-canned.
