We are not spending more, but we are getting less for the same money.Franceshttp://lookingfordeals-fperkins.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-32013115756424924612011-08-16T21:35:24.310-04:002011-08-16T21:35:24.310-04:00I agree completely that the prices are going up.

And I think that the really great deals are going to fade away just like the credit card points. When the interest rates go up, it will really hit.Sonya Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985227040902078422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-80828527186247264852011-08-16T18:08:59.425-04:002011-08-16T18:08:59.425-04:00Ooops, about meat. I had not heard this about the ...Ooops, about meat. I had not heard this about the meat going to market sooner or anything about prices of meat. But, Just this week, I decided to start canning meat. Yeah, and I need a proper pressure cooker/canner for it. <br /><br />On my blog a few days ago, I posted a video about canning bacon. It apparently can be done! Canning meat would have several advantages--1)take advantage of sales, 2)store without using electricity, 3) have meat at a lower price when meat prices do rise. Of course, bacon canning is not my goal. I would freeze it in smaller than 1.3 pound amounts. Maybe use a pint instead of a quart. <br /><br />I am not going to mention as an advantage the possibility of TEOTWAWKI and the fact you will have meat when those around you don't...lol.<br /><br />If the electricity goes off for so long like it did after the tornado, I would not be stressed about my meat stores. Plus, other than the cost of a proper pressure canner, it sounds doable for anyone.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-10034237612601957282011-08-16T17:57:24.530-04:002011-08-16T17:57:24.530-04:00Coffee that was $3.98 is now $10.98.

Then, instead of it going back up to the regular $8.98 or less, the price shot up to the $10.98 mark. NO, I don't drink coffee but watch these things.<br /><br />I have noticed that the Fiber One granola bars that I love and rarely purchase because I am a pig and just eat the whole box in one day is now almost $3 where it was $2. I was eyeing a bag of Ruffles. When I saw the $4.29 price, I choked and backed off. <br /><br />Fruits and vegetables at the grocery and at the farmer's markets have not budged upwards one bit. I keep wondering why.<br /><br />Cucumbers in vinegar will be good in January. Can you keep a couple of quarts in the refrigerator?Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-28272321222942103772011-08-16T14:40:08.275-04:002011-08-16T14:40:08.275-04:00Teddy will take them off your hands too!
You can ...Teddy will take them off your hands too!<br /><br />You can whizz them in your food processor, drain the liquid (a strainer with a coffee filter over a bowl does the trick). Give the pulp to the dog (mix it with some chicken broth and any dog will eat it!). Add a little witch hazel to the strained liquid, and you have a very cooling skin toner. Freeze some for winter, but label it so you don't forget what it is!Alex Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562233895276078957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-4201274873436574112011-08-16T13:31:46.302-04:002011-08-16T13:31:46.302-04:00Sluggy, I stopped by to see the cuke p*rn.
