🍎 What I Buy in September to Fill My Pantry for the Year

Dig out a grocery receipt from last February and look at what you paid for a bag of apples, a couple of onions, one tired little squash.

Right now those same things are sitting in bins at the lowest price they’ll be all year, because the harvest all came in at once and there’s more than anybody can sell fresh. Most folks walk past it and buy for the week. A smart kitchen buys for the year. Our grandmothers filled a cellar every fall and ate all winter for almost nothing, and the know-how to do it costs nothing either.

Catch the food when it’s cheapest and keep it right, and you’ll eat well through the dark months for a fraction of the price. A little know-how keeps your family fed and your money right where it belongs.

If saving money and running a smart, thrifty kitchen sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that’s what we do here every week. 💛

What does your part of the country have a glut of every fall? Tell me down in the comments.
