I have been canning the produce from the garden. Canned a little over a couple of hundred quarts.
Today, I took a relative to a Sam's Club (they had a Sam's Card). The Sam's Club was about an hour away. Anyway, while I was in there, looking around I found 1 gallon cans of diced or whole tomatoes for $2.38 per gallon.
Heck, here I have been working the garden all summer to get tomatoes to can and I find them at Sam's for this price. :roll Not including the costs of water and electricity I used to can these quarts. I can't do it for this price.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love the taste of home canned 'maters but I can only taste the freshness when I use them in macaroni and 'maters. So I guess I'll save them for that and use the Sam's canned tomatoes for making chili, spaghetti, and other meals.
I guess my discovery has shown me I may be wasting money trying to raise and can a lot of my own produce.
