Canning 101

Summer has finally arrived and we're starting to see that wonderful fresh produce appear here and there. Come fall, God will bless us with an abundance of goodies from the garden, orchard and vineyard, but how do we preserve it all for the winter months? Well, we have the answer for you! Come join us as we go over all the different ways of preserving, focusing mainly on canning. We'll be doing live demonstrations of many different kinds of fruits, vegetables and other goodies, showing you every step you need to know to enjoy the old art of home canning.

There is some equipment you'll need to can yourself, so we've posted a list of everything you'll need so that you can begin watching for it at garage sales, Craigslist, or other bargain hunters paradises. Go here to see the post.

We'll be covering the basics of canning supplies you need, how to use them, canning safety, what you can put up, and more. We'll actually be canning some fruit, vegetables, and salsa for you to 'see' how it's done, and you'll go home with all the literature to follow so you can go home and start preserving for yourself. All supplies will be provided.

Class size is limited so please preregister ASAP.

Shopping/Couponing 101

There are many articles in the newspapers, magazines and on line about saving money with coupons. They are so helpful but sometimes it's easier to learn when you can 'watch' it happen.
This class will cover the many ways of saving at the grocery store. Most often we think that coupons will save us only 25 cents or a dollar, but using them along with store sales, doubles, rebates, etc. can bring our grocery bill down by 60-80%.

We'll also be covering area stores, the type of coupons they accept, where to find best bargains, other money saving ideas, how to stock your pantry, and as time permits, some cooking tips.

Come prepared to have some fun as we share ideas, enjoy some treats, win some prizes...

Date/Time: To be announced. If you are interested in this class, please email us and we'll put you on the list, contacting you when a date is set.
Cost: $10.00 PLEASE preregister at: Eatingprimeonadime@gmail.com

'Creative Cooking/Frugal Living'

This class will cover the many areas of saving money at home, now that many of you have learned to save in the grocery store from our fist class, 'Couponing 101'.

We will cover the many ways to serve wonderful meals and healthy food without having to make that extra trip to the store for that last item, or without even using a cookbook. Learn to cook using your own, God given creativity!
Learn the basics of different spices and seasonings, food combinations, menus, entertaining on a budget, making many of the things you buy today, at home, and what you need to have your own, fully stocked kitchen, all at bargain prices.
Then, on to many easily done tips of saving money each day. Saving a few cents a day in many areas can add up to hundreds of dollars a year! Join us as we share ideas of making that dollar stretch to new limits!
Hope to see you there.
