cheekysaver you started a wonderfull brag, this is so a good idea!
Before starting couponing I was (and I'm still) a homecanning lover. I have many, many reason for that. Couponing have just increase my love for my jars of canning goods :) Couponing have change my mind in the way to get my raw stuff for canning and now I said I can my "freebies" when I go picking berries in the wood!!! So by the end I stay myself after starting couponing, I just change some buying habit to lower even more my production cost when I do my jars.
For the year 2012, I will have canned around 2000 jars with many different stuff. I have done several recipe of many different thing. Of course I have a pressure canner at home for the meat and veggies (I don't have one I have 2 pressure canner! And I've got a 3rd used one this fall and I have a special project for that one). I put some pic from my blog and put it here. (maybe I will go in my file, I have so many other that I never put in my blog yet!)
