Once we reached 12 month supply, we quit buying except for replacing the amount used each month. Time to kick it up a notch.

Soon as I find any in the stores, I’m buying them.

However, new cases of jars come with lids and since Runnings is chock full of canning jars, I have picked up some extra cases on occasion.

Hubby’s got instructions - if you find any wide mouth pint jars while out and about, buy 2 or 3 cases.

I like the wide mouth better. Easier to clean even though the lids cost more.

Me too. I had made it a point to can the stuff I give away for gifts in the regular jars. Was down to only 1 case. Hubby proudly brought in 3 cases of reg. pints, and half pints. So I’m all set up for several more seasons of gifts. 🀣

That’s me!!

We have company coming and I’m trying to figure out the best way to explain the stacks of TP packages, in the walk-in guest room closet.

I could break it to them, gently, and explain that that is the small stash.

πŸ‘πŸ€£ Do you remember Marcella? She had her bathroom cabinets stacked full of telephone books and flushable wipes—said it took up less room than stashing T. P.

“The first rule of Mason Jar Club is...” LOL!

I scored yesterday at two out-of-town stores. Got wide mouth lids and rings, and two cases each of quart and pint jars with lids and rings.

Beau thought I was crazy until I told him that THIS was what I was spending my ‘Uncle Sugar’ money on. He piped down after that. ;)
