Greetings! We wanted to send out a little taste of the last two Radio Shows. Hopefully the player below works for you! If not, go here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/millersgrainhouse and just click the little black 'play' button to hear the last two shows... Also, we wanted to update everyone...

Many of us have been working on stocking our freezers and pantries so that we can make purchases at the cheapest prices or weather emergencies. It's a great idea! But when do we need to stop buying for the stock? Kelli Ellenburg has some great tips for next week's Dollar Stretcher . Savings does...

In looking at bulk foods for food storage, I have noticed that many companies and information are for dehydrated foods. I have only purchased coventional foods in larger sizes. What is the difference with dehydrated foods? The benefits?

I made up labels in Word, but printed them on ordinary paper, and used packing tape to tape to the front of the jar. This wasn't on things I had canned but jars used for food storage. The regular labels I've used either don't stay on or are horrible to get off afterwards. Hopefully I won't...

I hadn't thought of canning jars! All of the canning jars I've received have been second-hand, so I haven't read the descriptions on the box. I also didn't know to leave the lid loose - just to leave headroom. I'll try both ideas and let folks know. Thanks!

I think I left about three inches of head room, but maybe it wasn't enough. I'm interested in this because I reconsituted powdered milk and store it in decorative quart glass jars in the fridge. They taste much better to me than if they're chilled in plastic, but I dislike having to reconstitute...

I'm new to this forum and still finding my way around, so I'm sorry if this question has been answered before. I live alone and find that my eggs usually go bad before I have a chance to use them up. (I rarely have time to bake at just the right time.) I wondered if anyone had a method for saving...

You have to ask the butcher's for the packets. They use them when they make the breakfast and/or Italian sausage themselves. We are planning for some very serious stocking up. Since we gave away all our food storage when we moved almost 4 years ago we have just been getting by thinking we'd be...

"Often bulk buying is discouraged among some frugal minded people. I suggest that we take another look at buying single items versus buying bulk." I began buying more in bulk and shopping less. The outcome? My grocery expense for the month is down. I did find that once I was stocked up on some...

I think I found a workable container solution for grains and for storing boxed goods where I can worry less about water damage or pests. I bought a couple clear plastic storage boxes. I slid one on each shelf of the plastic shelving unit in the kitchen. Then began stacking them on the floor in the front...
