W had BLT one night last week for dinner.<br />I found one of those baseball bats in my garden last week - right there in plain sight - or it should have been. Those leaves sure are tricky.<br />Good going on all the canning. It sure will taste good this winter.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-84752016135950782332015-08-17T10:00:58.277-04:002015-08-17T10:00:58.277-04:00This week we canned up six quarts and seven pints ...This week we canned up six quarts and seven pints of tomatoes. The pickle gift gave us seven pints of hamburger chips. The remaining two zucchini bats yielded seven pints of relish. And the beefsteak tomatoes, well, one or two tomato/mayo/toast sandwiches a day have kept me in the Garden of Eatin Heaven!<br /><br />I did two restock trips: one to WalMart for household supplies where sadly the rebate was $2.53 and the average item price was $1.89. The one at Weis Markets was much better for actual food: 48 jars of tomato sauce in various flavors, frozen pierogies, frozen juices and lemonade, frozen veggies that we don’t grow in the garden, chicken leg quarters for $0.98 a pound, canned veggies, bbq sauce for an average of $1.19 per item. Much better at the local grocery store. Weis also gave out $5 off $25 shopping so I used that to further reduce the bill.<br /><br />I have not used the dollar stores for food items. I really need to check that out. Our Aldi’s trip is soon too! It may be that my dh will do that one so I need to get the list ready for him! <br /><br />DH and I will redo the deck garden and this time I am thinking food not shrubs. Planning for next year! It will be better for our apple trees to get rid of the cedar bush as the trees and the bush have a terrible cedar-apple rust cycle going on.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410460924678199830noreply@blogger.com
