If you scroll down it has a list option. After my list is completely finished, I sort the list by aisles. Thus may help in the future.

I make small ones to add to baskets or for that neighbor or drop by person!<br /><br /> know people are strange today. I love homemade stuff - but I guess some people are leery. I would think jar recipes would be a welcome gift for anyone, as they aren't having to trust someone else's cooking, cleaning or canning practices. I know I have heard people say those things about stuff they have received.<br /><br />I think they are a perfect gift myself - but that's me.<br />Keep watching - soon!!!!!!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-55296271025114950512019-09-04T10:22:21.960-04:002019-09-04T10:22:21.960-04:00Oh I am looking forward to the jar recipes.

I have been making zucchini breads for the freezer but those won't last till Christmas around here. I have so many things I want to make for Christmas but not sure how they would be received. People are so funny about things anymore. <br /> LaurieShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15893334251349844784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-26521615065134237052019-09-04T09:57:04.340-04:002019-09-04T09:57:04.340-04:00It sometimes appears there is no rhyme or reason t...It sometimes appears there is no rhyme or reason to placement of items at grocery stores. I guess they get you wondering around and hope you buy more. For me, it just makes me not want to shop there.<br /><br />I will have to find my link to the online place I order the ham seasoning and let you know.

However, stuff has been put everywhere - cans of veg were on three different shelves - the cookies were next to the TP and I never did find the crackers - and as you say - there was a lot of muttering as people wandered the aisles! It will all get sorted in the next couple of weeks but it will be a challenge in the meantime.<br />Pork boullion cubes/crystals is something that I have great difficulty in finding - it doesn't seem to be popular here at all. I have beef, chicken, veg, fish, & mushroom but I am always on the lookout for pork - for soups!<br />I was also feeling a bit bored on Labour Day but a friend emailed as she had got free passes to the Art Gallery so we took ourselves off to have a lovely wander. I hadn't been in a few months as I let my membership lapse. But there is a fabulous exhibit of Rubens work arriving in October so I will renew just before that starts - that way I'll get to go to he members' preview days which is always quieter.<br />It turned out to be a good day out and was much better for me than lounging around at home - I had great plans to clean but I doubt that I would have managed much! :-)Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-87956058277537341162019-09-04T08:13:50.373-04:002019-09-04T08:13:50.373-04:00Exactly.

And now the big Walmart where I’ve shopped for years is being remodeled and all switched around, so I don’t know where anything is there either. <br />It’s frustrating but I guess in the big scheme of things, we are fortunate to have nice stores. <br />About powdered boullion, I got mine at an Amish store in MO. I like the chicken and beef and my favorite one is the French onion one. Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.com
