Put These in a Jar!

A lot of other preparedness sites sell you some of the following items packed for long-term storage ... and some can be packed yourself so inexpensively. Many of them will store "forever" if you pack them in jars. (I saved you money today! yes!)

I invested in a Seal-A-Meal machine last summer. It has already paid for itself in less than a year. It has an attachment to seal a regular mason jar lid--to dry pack your home dried or gathered items. I like putting my home grown spices into bags and seal them up. Love it!

Start stocking up on Ball or Mason jars with lids and bands. Into these put:

Plain Salt
Iodized Salt
Pepper
Sugar
Brown Sugar
Baking Powder
Baking Soda
Cornstarch
Herbs and Spices that you like and use
Powdered Mustard
Yeast
Multi-Vitamins

Try to get the following in glass containers from now on:
Honey
Corn Syrup
Maple Syrup
Vanilla Extract
Other Flavored Extracts that you like
White Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar
Mustard
Ketchup (or Catsup)
Salad Dressings
Pickles
Olives
BBQ Sauce
Soy Sauce
Sweet and Sour Sauce
Any Hot Sauces you like and use
Fish Sauce, if you like and use it

Remember, only store what you eat!
