Carrots

Last week I purchased 20 lbs of carrots for .20c a pound.  They've been in the fridge waiting to either be cooked, frozen or juiced.  I couldn't decide, although I did juice some for my husbands breakfast one morning (mmm good).  Finally, I made the decision to purchase a 23 qt. pressure cooker/canner from Presto.  My husband searched the internet until he found the lowest price through Amazon.  We ordered it for $73.00 (and some odd cents).  Shipping was free & we should get it delivered UPS by Monday at the latest.  When it arrives I'll put my husband to work peeling carrots (thank goodness we have 2 vegetable peelers).  Now, I will be able to can those carrots that certainly should last us a year (one jar of carrots once a week as a side dish = 52 jars... Maybe I won't have that many, but we'll see when I'm done).

Why am I posting this?  Because where can you find carrots that cheap unless you grow them yourself?  Because I am a Frugal Bugle living at my Leavitt Lodge in a small apartment in a small city as a country woman trying to save money to move to my 10 plus acres.  And, I can teach you how to save money too!
