Week 22 Challenge

This week get 20 pounds of sugar for every two adults in the family. Sugar is a great one to have because it can be used as a preservative and you can cook soooo many things that call for sugar in the recipe.


Extra Challenge: Buy some camping gear. There are lots of sales going on right now for camping equipment and many of those items can be used in emergency situations so they are great to have on hand and ready to use.

Week 21 Challenge

Here's another easy one to get! This week it calls for 8 cans of tomato soup for every two adults in your family.

Reminder!!!

This week we have our hot water bath class on Thursday May 17th at 7:00 p.m. at Jessica Hathcock's home. You won't want to miss it! It will be great! We also have our cannery assignment on Saturday May 19th at 9:00 am. Jot it down on your calendars!

Week 20 Challenge

Get your wheat again! Obtain 50 pounds of wheat for every two adults in your family. We have our ward cannery date this weekend too so it would be very easy to buy a box while you are there. No packing it yourself or anything! You just grab it off of the shelf. :)


Extra Challenge: Buy lysol disinfectant. It is the only product that can kill hepatitis, tuberculosis, and all forms of contagious diseases if used properly. It's an excellent thing to have on hand!

Strawberries

Many of you have probably heard that at the Superstition Farmers Market located off of Apache Trail and Meridian in Apache Junction has had strawberries on sale for 25 cents a pound! It's a great time to buy them and it makes for some excellent jam. I also cut up a bunch of the strawberries and put them in gallon ziplocs in the freezer to have for making yummy smoothies.

Chicken!

Chicken is on sale again at www.zayconfoods.com It's 1.89lb right now and the chicken is delish! The price is generally a little higher during this time of year and then goes back down again towards the fall/winter. It comes in 40lb boxes and you go and pick it up right here in queen creek. They load it right into your car which makes it nice and easy as well. You can freeze whatever you don't use or can it.

Week 19 Challenge

This should be an easy one to get! For this week it says to buy 5 cans of cream of mushroom soup for every two adults in the family.


Extra Challenge: Buy extra charcoal or propane for your grill. If our electricity were to go out for an extended amount of time it's always good to have extra materials to be able to cook with. Charcoal is also great for dutch ovens if you don't have a grill to use it on.
