Otherwise the process is worthless. Something we learned this summer while blanching corn on the cob.Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05643673751620016688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-21795891666161236252009-11-19T23:58:05.227-06:002009-11-19T23:58:05.227-06:00I've loved to read your posts, but today I wan...I've loved to read your posts, but today I wanted to comment on that gorgeous photo of blanched asparagus.

I spend about $200 a month on groceries, sometimes a little more, like November i set aside an extra $50 for stockpiling baking supplies for the year. <br />One thing that I have found saves me a ton is when people offer me stuff, even if I think I may not use it, I say yes. Do I want to come pick a tree of apples? Sure!!! I make the time!! Do I want peaches for $5 a box that need to be taken care of now? Yes!!! Can I use a bag of tomatoes that are soft!! Sure!!<br />It really helps!!!Martha A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02426112535240400393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-54565670312603953362009-11-19T17:23:13.697-06:002009-11-19T17:23:13.697-06:00I have loved these posts.

I have been amazed at how I have been able to cut our budget from 300-400/month to 125-175/month.
