Last week some various types of beef roasts were on sale for $5 a lb. I bought four of them, then chunked them up. I finally got around to canning it all. 10 pints of beef chunks, which will make alot of meals for us. Expensive but I did need to keep some beef around.

Speaking of TP, America buys over 2 million tons of kraft pulp from Canada. This pulp makes up about 1/3 of a roll of TP and about 50% of of a roll of paper towels.
The 50% tariff that the US is imposing on this pulp will cause a shortage and then price increases from the US based tp and pt...
My old food saver, that I bought used off of eBay, has a long narrow tray that I have to put the open end of the bag, down in. PITA, but the machine works fine.
