I'm thinking of stocking up on cheap cuts of meat,grind it up and can spaghetti sauce. Of course,being cheap,errr,frugal, I got it at a yard sale for 5 bucks,new in the box!<br> Dean in azAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-86758713432692126192011-05-19T16:16:21.298-06:002011-05-19T16:16:21.298-06:00I think a charcoal grill is a great item.

Plus it's a multi-tasker. :) <br>I do my food storage with 50 pound bags of bulk goods and foodsafe buckets from a local bakery. I ate MRE's for over 13 years in the Army, I want to make and eat "real food". Plus for the price of a case of MRE's I can get 50# each of rice, beans, flour and sugar. I guess I'm frugal too.Adventures in Self Reliancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11992613362743785392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-63830145913893151512011-05-19T15:19:36.175-06:002011-05-19T15:19:36.175-06:00Hey SkippyMom congrats on your new sealer!! What a...Hey SkippyMom congrats on your new sealer!! What an awesome gift! My mom gave me my first dehydrator. I just love gifts that "keep on giving".<br><br>Kris it's a Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt dehydrator. Here's a link for one from Amazon for $59.00<br>http://www.amazon.com/Nesco-FD-75PR-700-Watt-Food-Dehydrator/dp/B000FFVJ3C<br>Yes, I do have 12 trays (Thanks Mom!) but I only stack it up to 8. I've found that's about the most I can do and still have things dry pretty evenly. I found a second Nesco at a garage sale for $2.00. It only came with 4 trays so I use the extra trays on it.<br><br>Chef... Girl it's getting kind of scary out there. Lot's of places are backordered on their long term storage. I guess folks are starting to realize that bad times are ahead of us.SciFiChickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-8584925930398454492011-05-19T12:28:03.157-06:002011-05-19T12:28:03.157-06:00that is real talk...i'm just not into those MR...that is real talk...i'm just not into those MRE's and they are getting harder to come by anyway.She Chefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402907306215787064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-11826099045035208522011-05-19T12:17:04.399-06:002011-05-19T12:17:04.399-06:00What model is your Nesco dehydrator?

I've not done much dehydrating so I can't guesstimate how many trays I would actually need...maybe 12 would be overkill?Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05295382996795562317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-73963354610815971632011-05-19T07:06:48.837-06:002011-05-19T07:06:48.837-06:00My beloved MIL gifted us with a vacuum sealer and ...My beloved MIL gifted us with a vacuum sealer and I can't wait to use it.
