well wally world had blue books on sale for 3.00 so i got one as they usually sell out pretty quick and with all the canning and drying i do it wont go to wast -i would urge anyone that doesn't have one to get one as that book is a gold mine of recipes and how to information and it has made up my mind to get a pressure canner to do much of my canning and wally world has some for 70.00 fo next month ill have one but back to the book it even has chapters on fruit leather and dehydrating. im so happy to have it and i urge again to get one-just added 12 more packs of soup starter to the pantry too-got more veggies in my dehydrators now to make more too ---hugs to fv

When I was in Walmart yesterday, I was pricing some of the canning items. The blue book is $ 10 currently. Ball quart jars were $ 10 a dozen. Yet the Harvest brand was just under $ 8.

I bought my blue book at Walmart last year. Seems like I paid $ 6 for it. Last year, I stocked up on pectin and few other items when the end of season sale happened.
