That was a really good price on turkeys. I haven't bought any ground beef for a while...not at nearly $5 a pound at Cub. Things seem to be going downhill at an incredible rate of speed. I am putting as much as I can each month into preps while I still can.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-35853396419834655682015-11-14T15:32:31.849-06:002015-11-14T15:32:31.849-06:00We bought beef, pork, chicken, and no ground turke...We bought beef, pork, chicken, and no ground turkey this month. Scored 2 turkeys @$1.03 a lb for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Looking to add a fat ham for Christmas. Middle son asked if we wanted some ground beef, as his GF is getting 1/4 cow from her mom. I said yes so fast my wife said wait what??

I'm lucky in that my son now lives close and is willing to shop for me, as well as using the grocery delivery service. That makes life a lot easier. I only keep what meat I will use in a month or so in my freezer. Should I lose power, I would have to can it all up anyway before it thawed and went bad, so canning to start with makes sense for me.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-13099122664923546042015-11-12T22:29:48.903-06:002015-11-12T22:29:48.903-06:00I buy big cans of canned beef and chicken.

I do pre-cook chicken and turkey in order to easily debone it and can that with liquid, and I like the bonus of broth created when cooking the meat that I can as well. I do brown hamburger, diced bacon and bulk sausage, but can those without liquid. I tried canning hamburger using liquid, but it turned out resembling bad dog food from a can. :) I think that's what I finally used it for - dog food!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-24105018563372806212015-11-12T19:08:03.663-06:002015-11-12T19:08:03.663-06:00Great examples of the versatility of canned foods,...Great examples of the versatility of canned foods, especially the ones you can yourself to your own specifications. Thank you for the explanation about cold pack canning, Vicki. We have always cooked the meat first. I appreciate reading a different technique from someone that has experience doing it. <br /><br />FernFrank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-14377347896110804382015-11-12T18:28:21.916-06:002015-11-12T18:28:21.916-06:00Duane...I have one jar that didn't seal.

At a minimum, the 38 pints I canned today translates into at least 2 1/2 months worth of suppers for me. That really helps my years supply for food storage. Good for you in finding the sale on London Broil. I doubt food prices will go down and it just makes sense to can up what we find on sale.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-46764786617778787182015-11-12T18:21:14.263-06:002015-11-12T18:21:14.263-06:00On a day like today, a hot beef sandwich sounds re...On a day like today, a hot beef sandwich sounds really good.

One of the local community grocers has London Broil for $2.99 a pound and I plan on picking up a some and canning it for future use.
