Our cannery assignment

This Saturday the 18th is our cannery assignment at 9:00 am. In case you didn't get the info on what will be canned then here it is.
White Beans $4.55 The suggested amount of beans per person for a year supply is 75lbs of any variety of beans. There are 5.5 lbs in a #10 can. They have a 30 year shelf life.
Macaroni $4.30 The suggested amount of pasta per person for a year supply is 25lbs. There are 3.4lbs of macaroni in a #10 can. It has a 30 year shelf life.
Potato Flakes $3.25 There is no suggested amount, just however much you feel your family could use. They have a 30 year shelf life and there are 1.3lbs in a #10 can.
Granulated Sugar $6.00 The suggested amount of sugar is 40lbs per person for a 1 year supply. A #10 can is 6.1lbs and it has a 30 year shelf life.
Hot Cocoa Mix $9.90 The suggested amount of powdered drink mixes is 8lbs per person for a year supply. A # 10 can is 5.8lbs and it has a 2 year shelf life.
These are based on adult size portions so just modify it as needed.

The new changes at the cannery make it possible for us to be able to can whatever else that they sell at the cannery after the assigned items are done. It doesn't take long at all to can your items.
