A bit of basic math and it seems those cans cost about a buck each in hand.  Then filling and cooking and sealing and all that.

Great info and ideas there but for current additions to the back closet look below.

The 2nd article should be good. Funny comment he made about the salmon he processed cost vs buying it in a can.

There is a lot of food out there cheaper to buy than to do yourself.

For example: There is a local farm stand called Frog Pond that sells products from local farms. As a matter of fact that is where we get our bacon seed. Anyhow, their prices are so cheap that I wonder why I do a garden every year.

With that written I placate my evil thoughts by reminding myself that I am learning a BUNCH. Frog Pond will not be around if the SHTF.

One thing that is not cheaper is canned (Can or jar) is beef and chicken. Have you seen those prices? Anyhow, I do both in Qt jars. I buy items when on sale. Freeze them and when I get 7 Qts worth in the freezer I can it.

I got the idea for this from a former forum member who lived up near Fort Ticonderoga.
