I'm sorry your third year was a failure. Looks like you did very well though with the produce your purchased last week. <br /><br />We love the home cooked dried beans too and eat them regularly even sometimes eating only those for dinner. Those 15 Bean Cajun soup beans are one of our favorites and don't even require any salt to taste good. <br /><br />Thank you again for your kind note. I love to read everyone's comments because it encourages me too. :)<br /><br />Hope you have great Sunday. :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-6797995972107349872014-10-05T13:18:35.483-04:002014-10-05T13:18:35.483-04:00Thank you, Carol.

I also saw one for modeling clay for children to play with. I'll figure out something to do with it. :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-52481412826237998432014-10-05T12:46:09.600-04:002014-10-05T12:46:09.600-04:00Belinda, you have managed to save and stretch your...Belinda, you have managed to save and stretch your resources for as long as I've known you -could be 17 years- and I continue to marvel. <br /><br />For ever so long your gardening and preserving enlarged your larder. Gardening was part of my first 21 years. When I married, there was no where to garden. No where. 10 or so years ago, I planted very small areas along a yard fence of okra, squash, zuchinni, and cherry tomatoes. For 2 years, we ate well during growing season. Third year, total failure. Gardening ended. Struggle to produce was frustrating.<br /><br />Last week, $31 bought enough produce to leave a smile on our freezer. Not what I would prefer but surely more than enough with plenty of saved cash. <br /><br />Household enjoys veggie medlies from freezer with home-cooked dried beans. Great deal you found on dried beans. <br /><br />Continue to encourage us. We need all the encouragement available. <br /><br />thyme2save thyme2Bthriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814205711340836067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-16370531159528646112014-10-05T12:26:35.158-04:002014-10-05T12:26:35.158-04:00Would there be concern that outdated oatmeal could...Would there be concern that outdated oatmeal could harbor bugs that would invade fridge foods?<br /><br />thyme2savethyme2Bthriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814205711340836067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-29132756463171898842014-10-05T09:10:03.144-04:002014-10-05T09:10:03.144-04:00Awesome finds on clothes at the tag sales.

Bummer about the oats. : (<br />Oats are good for skin conditions, as a facial scrub, an odor deterent in the fridge (like baking soda).<br /><br />HTH!<br />Carol in CTCTMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825780992878036362noreply@blogger.com
