Home Preserving for Dummmies.

I just got a book about home preserving. This is something that I have had a lot of interest lately especially this summer when I had my vegetable garden. I wanted to preserve tomatoes because they grew like crazy. I am going to go online tonight and start looking at the costs for the supplies that I am going to need. I went to Whole Foods last week when they had their $5/$25 coupon for a few days and took advantage of their sales and some coupons for canned tomatoes. I make my own pasta sauce and tomato soup and I wanted to make sure I had ample stock. I am interested in making salsa to start with. Let's see how it goes.

Saving Money is a part-time job.

I think I figured out that I spend at least 20 hours a week searching for coupons, clipping coupons, searching for deals and actually shopping. I an on the internet for hours a day reading blogs, listserves looking for the best way to get a deal and spend little to no money out of pocket. At times I have considered looking for a part-time job to supplement out household income but I think that it would seriously hinder my frugality. :)
