Week 10 - Provident Pantry

Hi sisters,

To complete the song from last week:

....the more you toot, the better you feel, so let's have beans for every meal. What can I say, it was one of my kids' favorite tunes.

So I am seeing still more beans on the ingredients lists that have been sent in, so let's keep adding to the beans, whether it is black beans, pinto beans, refried beans, garbonzo beans, etc., spend the money you have allotted for building up your 3 month storage on beans, either canned or dry (whatever your ingredient list calls for) this week. If you have all your beans of this kind, the optional choice this week could be green beans (which we will visit again as a choice when we add canned vegetables).

And as always, if you run across a good deal on beans, please let us know.

And, if your beans are doubling as part of your year's supply, remember the Home Storage Center in Round Rock sells black, pinto, refried, and white beans in bulk and they have a 5.2 lbs prepackaged pinto beans.

Take care...toot, toot,

Marie
