[QUOTE="SRL, post: 379964, member: 701"] For those of you wanting to get started, if you're wanting to do this to save money you might want to check thrift shops or I've had good luck with garage sales in older neighborhoods. Also, some stores will sell off all or most of their seasonal canning stuff soon, but most of those in my area (including Walmart and most of the grocery stores) stock it year around. If you're buying all new at full prices, I think it would take a lot of use before you recoup your investment by the time you consider equipment, non-reusable supplies like lids, produce and electricity. At one point I decided to give up growing and canning green beans because it was costing me more than I could get them on sale at the store for, and while I liked the home canned ones, I didn't like them that much more to be shelling out extra for. Now pear butter is another story. ;-) If the money isn't a consideration, happy shopping. :) Mattsmom, could you just post the link for us all to see? It's fun to see how excited you are about your canning adventures! [/QUOTE]
