I’ve just finished preparing my shopping list for our major shopping day. We’re restocking essential items while also preparing for canning this month, including a variety of dry goods and a few additional items.

The process included reviewing recipes, creating detailed ingredient lists, checking what we already have on hand, and then strategically dividing the shopping list between two stores based on pricing. Since we have gift cards for both locations, this approach helps us maximize our budget and overall savings.

Stay tuned for more updates, including what we purchased, how we plan to use everything, and our Canuary series, which will feature 8–10 canning recipes throughout the month.
