In other news, our local grocery store had boneless, skinless chicken breasts on sale for $1.29 lb!
We stocked up and after dinner canned about 12 quarts, and 2 quarts of pork loin chops! You can't hardly get a can of chicken for probably under $1.50 for 6-11 ounces!
I think age has made my husband even sweeter as the years go by, because he stayed up to watch the pressure cooker stay at 15lbs. for 75 minutes. While we were cutting up the raw chicken breasts and putting them in the quart jars, he said kiddingly, "I missed my calling in life. I should have been a butcher."

Hi, Bev. Glad you stopped by. I know about the Velveeta being expensive. We get the Walmart brand but cheese prices in general make me a little upset. Maybe that's why I got on my cartwagon about making cheese. A long time ago,certain grocery stores would sell me the recently expired natural( ex. cheddar, colby, mozarella)cheese for about $1 for a 2 lb block. There was nothing wrong with it and I would just shred it sometimes and freeze it. They stopped doing it though as time went on and it was kind of disappointing. That might be where my love for cheese first started. :o)
A grocery store here will mark it half off right before it expires, and that's a pretty good deal when cheese is going for $8 for 2 lbs. (But I don't catch that mark down that much.)
Sincerely,
Linda
