[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 653913, member: 1"] I like to garden and put in edibles and herbs every year, but I do it more as a hobby. We also have a few citrus trees with the most productive being a Mexican lime tree. Our friends and neighbors get a lot of limes because that tree produces hundreds. I don't think any of my gardening efforts have ever saved me any money on groceries. Our neighbor has a few chickens that produce more than enough eggs for his family of 4. They get so many eggs that they occasionally pass some along to us. One thing that has saved my household some grocery money is getting a freezer to put in the garage. I always thought that they would use too much energy to be worthwhile but I was surprised to learn how energy efficient they really are. Now I have somewhere to store big bags of frozen veggies and chicken that they sell at Costco. I also like to make bone broth and chicken stock which takes a long time, so I don't do it very often. Now I can make a big batch because I have space to freeze some to use for a quick lentil or vegetable soup. I know a lady that filled her freezer with turkeys when they were on sale. This is for the freezer I got from Costco. [ATTACH=full]470[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
