Mr. M was addicted to the salsa and I did my fair share of cleaning out the jars. Mr. M also likes to have his shelves stocked as if a mini grocery store was in our garage. Today, I hit Costco to start restocking Mother Hubbard’s cupboards. Although the store bought stuff isn’t as good as home canned, it’s nice to have a few items on the shelves. I have a nifty can rotating system too. The can is pulled from the bottom. The other cans in line behind roll forward. Pretty cool.
It certainly says a lot about my stage of life when I store the kosher salt, apple sauce, onions, and Listerine next to Elton John and the Average White Band.
Perhaps a serious intervention is in my future. Maybe after I organize the shelves a bit better.

I wouldn't hoard storebought stuff (although I should in earthquake country). But this summer I resolve to be a canning fool. My larder will be overflowing.

LOL!
We do store both home-canned and store bought. As of now we just don't grow as much as we need but I feel better knowing we would at least have something to eat in an emergency.
I'm inspired.
