Kat great post...I enjoyed it.
Do you have access to a Costco? Are you a member? So many benefits!

No, Costco is not in our area. I have never seen one. The store I wrote about, Mainesource is a local restaurant store. They contacted me about shopping in their store and showing their customers how to use bulk buying to make meals and spend less at the store. It is working out real good for both of us so far. They are not a discount grocery store. It is funny, but there are a lot of people who do not know about stocking up or buying in bulk. I guess us homesteaders do it automatically.

Agreed (stocking up). Just moved to an area with a costco. very beneficial in so many ways. Most items are the same price as the best sales we can find running around town. worth the visit if you have one....they supply many local restaurants.

There are several good Free Kindle Download books available that I thought would interest this group so I thought I would post another link to my blog: Pam's Pride Recommendations. There are two books about ACV, worm farming, nutritional value in fruit and bananas, herbal remedies, Frugal Kitchen tips, and many more today!

Accessorizing the Hearth or how to make a simple box stove become a kitchen stove, lol.
I'm not a big fan of those warehouse stores but I am of restaurant supply places. There's one in Rochester, Orlindo's, where you'll hear Sicilian spoken. They have fresh veggies along with deli meats & sausages. The one in Batavia has a much smaller selection of cheese & meats mostly items for a sub & pizza shop but they have a good stock of Wilton baking supplies and more importantly I can order items in bulk like 25 or 50 pounds of brown rice.

I love shopping at ours! I found they even sell exotic meats. It is on their website. Maybe I will order some so I can post about it. They had some types that I don't know if I'd eat though.

I keep recommending your blog to the members of my NY Homesteading group. Plus, I use it almost daily. Most of the books I get for my Kindle are freebies. I have gotten such wonderful books thanks to you.

DO IT !
I've had Buffalo, interestingly enough it was when I lived on Oahu, lol not here. Had Rattlesnake as a child. Hubby has had Woodchuck, and Squirrel of course.
I worked with a nurse who has eaten Elephant, Giraffe, and Hippo. You know I as all kinds of asking about how each tasted.

Pelenka, great deal! I am pretty well set with canning jars of all sizes now. But I always took the free ones when someone didn't want to clean them.
My new blog post is about our wheel hoe which is one of my biggest searched for keywords to my blog. So I like to post about it now and then and always include its name in the title.

Thanks Kat, I figured that it's always good to have extra jelly jars on hand because when I gift jams the jars only have a 50/50 chance of making their was home. I always hope that they are at least recycled.
Besides gift the 2 doz to my gf I can always barter what I don't need if I'm desperate.
Wheel hoe, hum another garden tool I might not realize I need, lol.
