My freezer sits next to the sink on the worktop - eighteen inch cube so it doesn't get in the way too much.

I just saw this woman on tv who spends less money at the store but feeds her family junk food for dinner. Better off growing a garden, canning it and using it up during the winter months.

Yes, coupons always seem to be for junk food.

That's why I hardly use them anymore plus the expire really fast. I usually shop for tomato canned goods in the fall and they are running a sale at Acme for 10 cans of Cento crushed tomatoes for $10. Stocked up last week on that, broth & other canned goods.

They also had a great sale on tuna in water. Have to get to BJ's and really stock up for the winter months. Do alot of cooking in the crock pot.

the cheapest here is .79 per tin, in the water, and you hardly ever every find that price.

The Acme had 10 cans of tomato sauce for $10 but their brand was only .89 cents so I bought that instead.
