Yellow onions, 2 lbs for $1, at Sprouts. I'm late getting this sale up, but it goes through Wednesday. I picked up 10# and will slice them and cook them in the crock pot with a little olive oil before canning them in small jars for those times when a little onion would taste good. I have a devil of a time keeping onions from molding and/or rotting. Can't keep the temperature and humidity levels steady in this house.
I think regular mouth pints and wide mouth quarts. I think...Quote:

Westminster costco has a pallet left of quart mason jars 5.97 each. They are marked down so this is probably all they have left
River Point Costco still has one pallet of Pints for $6.49/dz. The little asterisk on the price sign means they won't be getting any more.

Thanks for the info, guys! Excellent prices.
This is very, very late to post, but King Soopers is having an eggs sale for its "simply truth" brand. 2 dozen grade AA large brown eggs for $5. This sale goes through Wednesday.
This is what I did: I previously bought Ziploc snack containers from Walmart. I think there are 6 or 12 to a pack. They're tiny square containers. BHA free.
Each container can hold 2 large eggs. We go through eggs like nobody's business. I broke 2 eggs into a bowl, scrambled them and put them into a Ziploc container. Now it's safe to freeze them, so they can be thawed and used for scrambled eggs or baking or whatever- as long as you scramble the eggs, you can freeze them safely.
So scoop up! :) Apologies for not posting this earlier.
I am canning chili beans today.
I sorted through some dried pinto beans, making sure there were no rocks or dirt clumps. After rinsing, I dumped them into my large stock pot, filled it with water and set it to boil for 3 minutes. I then removed the pot from the burner, and let it sit overnight.
In the morning, I dumped out the nasty water, and rinsed the soaked beans with cool water until it ran clear. I cleaned and sterilized my canning jars, filled them with beans (leaving a bit more than an inch of headspace) and added a tablespoonful of dried onions, and about a half spoonful of chili seasoning. I then filled the jars with biling water, using a wooden skewer to make sure there were no air bubbles, filling with water until there was an inch of headspace.
I wiped the rims with a cloth dipped in vinegar, and put the jars into my pressure canner.
Pints were processed at 13 pounds of pressure for 1 hour and 15 minutes, quarts were processed for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Easy peasy!
Thanks! I want to add to my bean storage in this manner. Dry beans take so much energy to make edible. Canned beans are pretty much ready to eat.Quote:
